Hotel berhampiran Clevertwizy, Ramalde

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!!

Habituée à voyager à travers le monde entier dans des hôtels comme dans des auberges de jeunesse, chez l’habitant ou même en camping, je n’avais encore jamais eu d’expérience de la sorte. Certes, la nourriture du self est mangeable et il ne faut pas être exigeant. J’étais avec 3 amies dans une chambre qui donnait sur des tours et nous empruntions les douches communes et WC. Sur les 3 WC, aucun ne fermait à clef. Aussi, quand nous sommes arrivées nous avons eu la bonne surprise d’avoir des poils et cheveux sur nos draps. Bien sûr, le personnel est accueillant mais lorsque nous avons vu une punaise de lit (VOIR PHOTO) sur un de nos matelas, il n’a pas fait le nécessaire. En effet, il s’est contenté de venir dans la chambre afin d’asperger la punaise de lit avec une bombe spéciale puis il l’a retirée avec un mouchoir et a seulement changé le drap du dessous. Il nous restait encore l’autre moitié de la semaine dans cette auberge et nous n’avons pas changé de lit ni de chambre alors que les punaises se trouvent dans les matelas et nécessitent donc une intervention spéciale. Étonnamment, je suis allée voir les avis sur l’auberge et j’étais loin d’être la seule à avoir trouvé des punaises de lit. En bref, je vous déconseille cette auberge si vous voulez passer un bon séjour à Porto.

Decent hotel, very clean not too far from the tourist places. All the staffs are very nice. Especially Ms. Sophia (Breakfast Buffet Area) who’s always present whenever we need anything. The room is clean, they clean everyday but they forgot to refill the liquid body soap container. Needed to ask the reception for a refill and they’re action was prompt. It’s just that it’s a bit hot (AC not so good) Overall, we had a lovely stay.

Stayed four night as a base for Porto centre. Would give it 3.5 if possible to use halfs. Rooms were clean although showing signs of wear. Bed made up daily and fresh towels. Lack of shelf space in cupboard. Used for breakfast once but also tried the Mitica Inspiracao out of the back door twice for a more relaxed setting and no temptation to overfill v the buffet. Shower has good temperature and flow. Friendly and helpful reception staff. Nearby supermarket for anything you need. The bus from the airport took 50 mins during the morning midweek, and initially goes away from the hotel before heading back towards it. If I was doing it again I would take the Metro to Ramalde the nearest stop and then get an Uber to the hotel. The airport Metro is just behind the road at arrivals. Bus 304 seemed the quicker bus than the 300 or 301 into town. Had issues with bus reliability getting back from town after 8pm using information from route planner on Google maps .. chasing round various bus stops near the Town Hall Square to no avail. Ended up prefering to get the Metro back to Ramalde and then €3 for an Uber. Opted to use luggage lockers at Trindade Metro, €6 small for upto 12 hours rather than detour back to the hotel on the last day. Other sizes available but limited availability.

Hotel in zona Afurada a Porto, leggermente decentrato ma da tenere veramente in considerazione per visitare la città. Camera e bagno piccolini, ma dotati di ogni comfort. Noi eravamo al terzo piano con vista sul mare, bollitore per caffè e tè, acqua di cortesi, prodotti da bagno molto buoni, compresa una crema per il corpo che ho trovato di buona profumazione e veramente gradevole dopo la doccia. Parcheggio gratuito. La colazione è super, disponibile fino alle 12, mette a disposizione frutta fresca, yogurt ottimi di tre tipi diversi, pasticceria fresca comprese le ottime Pastel de Nata, pane e affettati, formaggi, marmellate e miele. C'è la possibilità di farsi i pancake e le spremute da soli. Tutti ottimi prodotti! Hotel 3 stelle con servizio colazione da 4. Se non si vuole prendere macchina o mezzi pubblici, si può chiamare Bolt che con 3 euro circa ti porta al Ponte Luiz da dove si possono raggiungere a piedi molte attrazioni della città che ho trovato molto bella.

Impeccable stay at Utopian Hotels. From the second you walk in, you feel like you’re home. The Hotel and Rooms Utopian is located in a beautifully restored Portuguese home that still has some of its most beautiful original elements. The hotel is filled with beautiful artisanal furniture and a great selection of art and photography. The rooms are cozy and have all the amenities you need for a trip in Porto. Every detail was thought of. The rooms all have a FREE minibar filled with snacks and drinks for their guests to enjoy - such a treat - and the common area has a beautiful coffee machine with games and books to enjoy. Great Location Ideally located a short walk away from all the best restaurants and boutiques in Porto in a beautiful quiet neighbourhood, making you feel like a local! This place feels like a hidden gem and made my trip to Porto perfect.

El servicio del hotel fue increíble, muy buen desayuno, la habitación estaba súper bien, la cama súper cómoda y el baño era grande. Está muy bien ubicado yo que iba a todos lados andado no tardaba mucho

This place is actually an old motel that has clearly gone bankrupt and still tries to get naive customers to a trap. It smells of mold, there is no shower ( just a broken whirlpool ), there is no maintenance and the staff is clearly unwilling to look after the guests. To make it worse - if possible - they tried to cheat Booking pretending I was not there ( although I have my credit cards statements to prove ) just not to pay their commission. When I wrote this on the Booking review the owner was extremely impolite and aggressive , as his plote was denounced. Honestly, it makes no sense staying there even if it was for free. Run away from this joint!!

Great concept, excellent transport links. Really liked the vibe and local neighbourhood had good places to eat

El hotel está ubicado a unos 20 minutos de Oporto. Bien comunicado con bus casi a la puerta y perfectamente si vas en coche. La limpieza es extraordinaria, tanto en las habitaciones como en el resto de estancias. La lencería (toallas y ropa de cama) de muy buena calidad. Estupendo tener aire acondicionado en la habitación. Todo el personal muy amable en todo momento y dando solución a nuestras consultas siempre con una sonrisa (pisos, recepción, buffet) El desayuno correcto. Un gran detalle hacer un guiño a la gastronomía portuguesa ofreciendo pasteles de nata. El parking cerrado y gratuito también es un plus a valorar. Me gustaría felicitar por la gestión del establecimiento y a todo el personal que lo hace posible. Se nota todo el trabajo que hay detrás para que los clientes nos sintamos así de bien. ¡Enhorabuena, equipazo!
