9.8/10 Exceptional! (137 reviews)

The location was perfect. Walking distance to literally everything. The street the hotel is on doesn’t allow cars so it’s very quiet. It’s right beside a huge market when you can get everything from fruit to cheese to snacks to wine. The apartment was so clean and has everything you need. The communication with the staff was impeccable. Very quick and very helpful. This is an easy 5 rating.

The breakfast staff dealing with food and tables were not particularly friendly, efficient or helpful. This does not include the lady welcoming us at the breakfast room door who was friendly.

This is an apartment style room with kitchenette. Its location is next to the Mercardo do Bolhao and with grocery stores next door. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and dinning. Enjoyed our stay like living in Bolhao, Porto.
