Hotel Mesra Haiwan Peliharaan di Porto

Wow- what a great location and eclectic hotel. Staff was very welcoming, happy, energetic and went out of their way to offer directions and recommendations to restaurants. Clean room, crisp sheets, well maintained. The hotel itself is right across the street from the Cathedral and is central to so many tourist sites, restaurants and shops. We truly enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend this hotel.

This was one of the best hotels in our entire trip to Portugal. The staff were helpful and welcoming. The room was beautiful with classically inspired furnishings, high end lighting, a great view of the street and a comfortable sitting area. The breakfasts were delicious and the hotel amenities were just right for our three day visit. Our only critique is that the bed was far too firm for us.

I visited the bar in Selina Porto with a friend for an after dinner glass of wine. We live in Porto but it was obvious that the waiter thought we were tourists because he totally tried to rip us off. We ordered two glasses of wine and the total came to 18 euro. As a local, that's ridiculous!!! The waiter didn't bring us a menu or a bill and crumpled up the receipt as soon as the machine issued it. I called him back to the table and asked how much it was per glass as I thought it was pretty pricey, even for a tourist trap. He immediately fessed up and gave me 4 euro back in cash. I still don't know how much a glass of wine is there but even at 7 euro each, it's waaayyyyy over priced.

No words.... Has been a trip INSIDE a subway construction area .... And I am not kidding unfortunately. I have reserved a single room kind bed. At beginning the reception assigned me one room at 4th floor exactly in front of jackhammer operators, which made the same noises as in war scenario with 2 beds. Then after my immediate big complain reception have assigned me another room, #209. Different scenario : that was in front of a concrete grinding crane arrives from 8pm in the morning until 10pm in the evening. at 7am the noises of the vehicles began with the relative movement alarm and in the evening after 10pm the workers who hammer gradually finished at 1am in the night. all i have timed videos to prove my experience. I asked several times to assign me a room ON OTHER SIDE (that are outside the ”war operation area”) but answer was always _ ”SORRY SIR, THE ROOM ON BACKSIDE ARE FULL AND WE DO NOT HAVE SPACE AVAILABLE” . Today at check out I have asked a discount, as feedback the receptionist charged me 20EUR more for 2 peer juices I have got from minibar...... I do not know how to describe this experience, I have been many times in Intercontinental and I have been always satisfied.... BESIDE THIS LAST TRIP THAT IS REALLY SOMETHING I WANT TO FORGET Travellers' take extreme care going there !! At least until the subway works under room balcony are finished !!! Can not upload pictures the website tell me ”unable to lad” but I can sent ll of them separately

This is an oddly located hotel. I do not refer to the actual geographical location which is actually good for visiting Porto, being basically beside a metro stop. However, its positioning in a shopping centre makes it a bit odd to understand how to get into it, especially parking. We did manage to get there but to understand how to get into it after the time the shopping centre shuts was not helped by the receptionist who I would say was far from welcoming at all. We just parked in the shopping centre car park and paid the fees to avoid having to ask this person again. The rooms were fine in an ibis way. The lift was out of order at one point but seemed to return to service soon enough.

We had an excellent experience at this hotel. From check-in to check-out the front desk was extremely friendly and helpful, including in making restaurant recommendations, calling taxis, and printing out train tickets. The rooms were large, comfortable, and quiet. The breakfast had a wide array of items at the buffet. The location made it very easy to get everywhere we wanted to see. We even tried out the spa and both got great massages from Anna. Highly recommend.

Arrived on a Sunday Afternoon, to a helpful and friendly English speaking reception. Whilst it was 4pm our room was not ready so they changed the allocation. Next morning we were not on the breakfast list they had not amended the room no. In addition the breakfast area was overrun with what turned out to be about 4 coach loads of people. There was a shortage of cutelry, crockery and food. I ended up with coffee in a paper cup. No hot food left at that time. Subsequent breakfast times were less busy with a little more choice. However we realised that the hotel is set up for basic stop overs on way to/from airport and coach tours, not a mid week stay like ours. The 304 bus stop right outside the hotel reception was always on time in the mornings but took up to 30 minutes to get to the centre of Porto. The return by bus was not so reliable, with busses not turning up to schedule and the last bus getting back to the hotel just after 8pm. I am not sure if there is a bar open in the evening, I certainly did not notice one. Overall this is a clean basic busy hotel and did not suit our purpose.

This hotel is great. The rooms are very big, quiet and clean. The bed was very comfy and huge. We both slept very well which was needed after two afternoons of port tasting! It is very well located if you don’t mind walking. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. We would come back.

This place is of great value and superb service. Stayed for two nights. Jessica, from front desk, the staff helping with breakfast, basically everyone delivered a spectacular service. I was impressed with quality of service, cleanliness, and value for the money. Definitely I will be at this hotel whenever back in Porto.
