Pão de Açúcar – Vintage Bumper Car Hotel

Walking distance to the river and lots of cafes and restaurants.

Great Value Hotel; Breakfast buffet on the skinny side but yet adequate. Great to see the decor in the main hallways etc from the 60's and 70's yet a modern and comfortable room.

Helpful staff, Decent breakfast, centraly located - could walk everywhere, without any transportation

I just booked for one night, as my flight was early and my other hotel could not accommodate me. I loved the charm of this hotel, and the gentleman on reception on our arrival could not have been more friendly. I will definitely be back.

The hotel is in the centre of Porto, is easy to find, just 5 minutes walk from the metro. At first glance you may get the impression that it is a bit dated but step inside and your senses are awoken with a lovely fragrance that follows you as you walk through the foyer. At the end of the foyer the magnificent Art Deco interior is a sight to see. Climbing the grand circular stair case with it's broad landings you are treated to examples of a distant age. The standard of accommodation is good and the rooms are spotless. The staff are extremely welcoming, helpful and kind.

We were not given the room we booked which was disappointing as we had booked a superior double room, but they had none . The room did not have any coffee or tea making facilities. The bed was comfy and the room ok clean and sufficient. The hotel was querky, staff friendly, breakfast fine open from 7-30- 10-30 location excellent enjoyed our stay here.

The hotel lies relatively near to two Metro stations in a fairly central position. Our large room faced the rear of the hotel, which meant no view but, more importantly for us, it was quiet. The bedroom and adjoining bathroom were unusually large, nicely decorated and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast choice was limited and rather uninspiring but OK for a few days. We liked the quirky collection of 1950s and 1960s memorabilia dotted around.

The hotel is quirky but pleasant and the rooms are of a good size. The bathroom was very new and bright. Breakfast is an ample cold buffet although a bit carbohydrate loaded. Service at the hotel is generally fine, but apparently if you want a drink at the bar you have to contact reception. A notice to that effect would be useful. The location of the hotel is excellent, right in the centre of town, just off the main street and everything is within walking distance. Overall good value for money.

Adequate hotel BUT...the room was spacious, dimly lit, smelly (despite lots of airing), it took 3 people 3 attempts to get my shower to function, staff entered 3 times in my 3 day stay despite requests for privacy and no housekeeping, limited breakfast. Furnishings and hardware are all cheap. The whole hotel is poorly lit so it looks rather dingy. And it has a very extensive range of 60's memorobilia plonked around the place. Usually I would think this touch would make it quirky and charming, but it just looked strangely out of place. For not much more you can have a beautiful hotel by the river. Can't recommend this one

Delightful,rather kooky hotel, well located and with a very helpful staff. The only thing to be aware of is the size of the rooms with a terrace. As there was no place to even lay a suitcase down, we asked for a larger room and happily gave up a terrace for more space.
