ibis Porto Sao Joao

RUSTY WATER POORED FROM THE FAUCET MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE A BATH or shower. Housekeeping was UNABLE TO DRAIN THE TUB.

I picked this hotel base on price. It’s clean, quiet and close to metro.

This hotel is a bit far from the center of town, but it is easy to ride the subway and the price was right. It is near a university and you get a feel for student life because the subway stop is so close to the hotel. (The students were helpful to us in getting the subway tickets back into town). It is an above ground subway stop so it is very EASY. The hotel is on the 3rd and up floors. You have excellent access to food because there is a grocery store, dry cleaners, cell phone shops, etc.. on the first floor and a nice food court on the 2nd floor. We liked staying there!!

The hotel was good in terms of cleanliness, transportation and services. Wifi quality was moderate. Staff was helpful and respective. The only failing was absence of soap, shampoo and shower gel separately. There was only one item to be used for these purposes.

Great location to train station and metro. Staffs are friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay:-)

Hotel exceeded our expectations. A Super property in a great area! A metro stop right next to the Hotel and a food court made ii very convenient.

Good hotel Easy to go downtown Shopping center is the first floor The price is good Very quiet place

Nice Hotel close to metro. Good value for the money. Hotel staff speak good english.

Nice quiet location & usual good IBIS room standard with exceptional bed comfort. Terrible check in service. Firstly, she needlessly folded my passport back through 360degrees, creating a completely new crease line. If every hotel treated customers passports with so little respect, the passports would fall apart within the 10 year lifetime. Then I was asked for payment at £50 above the reservation rate. The second attempt was £20 above the reservation rate. At the third attempt, I was finally asked for payment at the booked rate. What a contrast to the polite efficiency at the Ibis hotel used the previous night. The shower in the bathroom might benefit from seeing some bleach occasionally, but overall cleanliness was acceptable.

Lovely clean hotel with friendly helpful staff but you must enjoy being around students - you go by hundreds of them at certain times of the day as you meander your way through the shopping mall food court to get to the hotel. The advantage of this is that there is a great grocery store on the lower level if you don't mind eating in your room. Unfortunately there are no nearby local restaurants so we missed out on local cuisine every evening. The location of the hotel -removed from the downtown- is very easily accessible on the metro line. The cab for four of us with luggage to the airport was 29 euros and the friendly hotel staff arranged it for us. The continental breakfast is good but pricey (unless you're starving) so we ate it at a nice cafe style at the end of the food court, beside the Macdonalds - which is also open for breakfast.
