The Social Hub Porto
We didn’t want the full breakfast bar so we orders from the menu. They were either out of, or forgot, half our order, never brought napkins or silverware as requested, then could not do room charge. The buffet might have been good but otherwise would suggest going elsewhere for breakfast.

Gaia Residence
The location is average and the service is acceptable. Although the room is quite spacious, the soundproofing is very poor—you can easily hear normal conversations from the neighboring room. Fortunately, I booked a unit with a large living room, so I was able to sleep there the next night.
