Hotel berhampiran Galeria Municipal, Matosinhos

Porto hotels prices are quite expensive. On our recent visit there we decide to spend a couple of days in this hotel, so to see the off center attractions.The room price was very fair. The hotel is quite modern and also simple. Nice rooms and very clean too. Complimentary continental breakfast is served in buffet style. Actually there is not a true bar, but a ”bar corner” which is OK for a couple of beers or some wine. As we had a car, we are not able to comment on transport connections.

The hotel is two star but, for once, I thought it was better. The rooms are not too small and have everything you'd want with the exception of a tea/coffee maker. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. Everything worked in the bathroom and the water was hot. There are two shower heads -- rain forest and hand held. Breakfast was very good with lots of bakery products, fruit, cereal, seeds and prunes, cheese and meat, little cakes, fresh juices etc. Breakfast starts at 0730h. There is 24h front desk. Room entry is by a unique 6 digit code. Wifi works well. The hotel is next to a very large shopping centre and opposite a Lidl. Only 5 minutes from Sete Bicas metro station. Easy access to the airport, Porto and the railway station.

I arrived at the hotel on 20 November 2022 for a 5 night stay. The stay was business related and with so many hotels to choose from, I decided to go with the Porto Palacio. What an excellent choice! The hotel is absolutely brilliant - I cannot find a fault. Check-in was very smooth and on arrival to the room - wow - very modern, crisp clean sheets on the bed and a spacious room. In terms of food, the Breakfast experience was the best part of the stay for me. I have stayed in many hotels around the world - both on a personal basis and a business basis - I can honestly say that the breakfast staff at the Porto Palacio are the best I've ever come across. On arrival, I was seated quickly. On Day 1, the staff members memorised what I had that cannot be chosen by the buffet - for example, a tea and two plates (as I like two plates) - on Days 2 and for the rest of the trip, I didn't even need to ask. I was called by my Title and Surname on arrival. The whole experience was brilliant. I would like to mention a lady called Rosa and another lady (they both greet staff members at the door) - their hospitality skills are great and they are always smiling - nothing is too much for them. I didn't eat at the restaurant in the evening but had room service as personally, I like to relax after a day at the office. The food was of good quality and was tasty and piping hot. I used the gym during my stay - the gym is open to members of the public, therefore is not your usual hotel gym. It's huge - there are loads of machines and I was never waiting for someone to finish using something. Staff members are friendly. All in all - a brilliant stay and is a genuine 5 star hotel! I will return to the Porto Palacio both on a business basis and also on a personal basis - Porto looks like a great city! It's a shame that I didn't have time to look around as I had a busy schedule but I will certainly be back! Thank you!!

good location nice staff love all things Portugal i am a solo traveler wan to visit 100 countries ASAP

You can walk to the airport ( 7- 10 MN walk). As a con/negative point I would mention the late check in by 4 pm, with the ”friendly” suggestion that you can check in sooner paying a 20£ fee... unacceptable in my opinion...

Hôtel situé au bord d'une nationale très bruyante mais l'emplacement est très pratique pour se rendre à l'aéroport qui est à 10 minutes et le parking est gratuit. Le personnel a été très souriant et très accueillant. Nous devions partir à 4h du matin pour notre avion et ils nous ont proposé malgré l'heure un café, jus d'orange et gâteau maison avant de partir. La chambre est ”dans son jus” mais très propre et avec un balcon donnant sur la piscine. Le menu du soir est très complet et à un prix raisonnable.

The location of the Park Hotel is perfect, within an easy walk to the airport, which is ideal if you have an early morning flight to catch! The room was extremely clean and well furnished. The staff were friendly and helpful. We ate breakfast at the hotel and it was adequate, with a small selection of hot food, pastries and fresh fruit salad. My fruit salad serving was over ripe, although my husbands was fine, so perhaps I was just unlucky! Overall the hotel was perfectly fine and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again should I find myself in Porto again!

Sauberes modernes und günstiges Hotel in 10 Minuten Fußweg oder 3,5€ Uber Fahrt zum Flughafen Porto. Ganz bequem, um von dort abzufliegen. Was mir persönlich in dem Hotel gefehlt hat, waren zwei Dinge: 1) Toilettenbürste 😆 und 2) Wasserkocher, um Kaffee oder Tee zu trinken. Frühstücken konnten wir nicht, weil unser Abflug um 06:55 Uhr war. Daher Wasserkocher wäre perfekt.

I spent 2 nights in a female dorm room. I believe there are mixed dorms and private rooms as well. I had a top bunk but I think you can request a bottom one when booking if you would prefer not to climb up. I had my own lamp and a plug for recharging my devices. The bed was really comfortable. There were 4 ensuites to service our dorm and I never had to wait. The communal area is just wonderful. Cozy lounge chairs as well as some bar stools by the windows were you can look over the river and towards Porto. Most nights of the week, they serve a hostel dinner for €10 which was great value for money. We sat at the large table in the common area and it was great to chat to the other guests. It is also very close to restaurants and bars if you prefer to go out. It is an easy walk over the bridge into Porto. The breakfast was simple but plenty of it and you could request pancakes or eggs for a small extra cost (€2 I think). I was leaving early my last morning before breakfast was served so requested a breakfast box to go, croissants and fruit.

We got very cozy house with own bathroom and it was really good. You get everything you need there. Good equiped kithcen area, indoor dinner place and outdoor terrace, bathroom is also good for this type of accomodation. Pool was already open in May, but it was a little bit cold for it, but it looks nice. Cozy territory makes you feel in a forest. We stayed there for night on our Camino Way, but I wish I could stay there for longer.
