Liiiving in Porto - Historic Clérigos Apartments

Dass sie einen Balkon hatte und gut gelegen war.

Die Wohnung war irgendwie lieblos. Es war alles sehr schmuddelig, Blut an der Wand, Flecken auf dem Bettbezug, dreckiges Geschirr und das Bad war auch schmutzig. Auf dem Balkon war ein Stuhl kaputt, sodass man darauf nicht sitzen konnte. Und nebenan war ein Club, der uns jede Nacht bis 6.00 morgens mit saftigen Bässen versorgt hat. Irgendwie Schade, denn die Lage der Wohnung war echt top.

I was very disappointed with this property. The apartment is located on the 4th floor with no elevator, but this was not clearly highlighted in the main listing. This is extremely important information, especially for older guests or anyone with mobility difficulties. Had this been presented more clearly, I would have reconsidered my booking. Before arrival, I contacted the host and explained that climbing four flights of stairs would be difficult for us. Unfortunately, I felt there was very little empathy or willingness to help. The response was simply that there was no elevator. In addition, the TV did not work during our stay, and the listing showed a balcony, which was not available in the apartment we received. This created a feeling that the advertisement was misleading and did not accurately reflect the actual accommodation. The location is good, but the lack of transparency, the poor handling of our concerns, and the differences between the listing and the reality significantly affected our experience. Unfortunately, this was not the experience we expected, and I would not choose to stay here again.

1. Am Eingang des Gebäudes ist kein Name angebracht. 2. Einige Apartments befinden sich in einem schmaleren Flur, in dem kein Licht vor der Eingangstür installiert ist. Es ist völlig dunkel und ich musste das Licht meines Handys benutzen, um das Schloss zu öffnen. 3. Der Mülleimer und der Toilettenpapierhalter waren völlig verrostet und beschädigt. 4. Wasser lief unter der Duschtür hindurch nach draußen und machte den Badezimmerboden komplett nass. 5. Das Badezimmer war schimmelig. 6. Es gibt keine Haken oder Handtuchhalter im Badezimmer, um Handtücher aufzuhängen. 7. Die Pfannen und Töpfe in der Küche waren sehr schmutzig. 8. Das Spülmittel zum Geschirrspülen war von extrem schlechter Qualität. 9. Während meines 6-tägigen Aufenthalts kam niemand zum Reinigen oder auch nur zum Wechseln der Handtücher. 10. In der Nähe der Wohnung befindet sich eine Diskothek, deren Lärm bis in den frühen Morgen zu hören ist. 11. Das Bett roch muffig und feucht. 12. Die Bodenbeläge erzeugen beim Gehen störende Geräusche, die die Ruhe der anderen Bewohner erheblich beeinträchtigen.

The apartment is located centrally, although the street it’s in is quite weird! The communication with the staff was quite good and they responded quite quickly to my messages.

I had quite high expectations from the apartment, considering it’s not cheap. However it doesn’t meet the standards to deserve that price. I’ve stayed in Porto in much better places for a lot lesser (in the same time period). I had booked the apartment for 3 nights. First thing I noticed on entering was a really strong chemical smell of cleaning solutions from the bathroom. This smell never went away. Also the apartment was advertised as 42 sqm in size but it appeared to be a lot smaller. I even thought there might have been a mistake and double checked if I had the right apartment 😅. I really don’t think it’s 42 sqm or perhaps that includes the staircase area as well. The flooring squeaked with every step I made. I was conscious of this because I heard the noises from other apartments. Every time someone came to my floor or the floors above I knew as it got very noisy. The apartment is very very humid (it’s an old building so perhaps this is normal). I was relying on the AC to dehumidify which worked quite ok on the first night but it stopped working on the second evening. I wrote to the staff and they did reply but in the meantime the AC started to work again so I updated them about it. However a little later it stopped working again. It was quite late by then so I didn’t try to contact the staff to fix it. It was hard to sleep though. I decided to checkout a day earlier and stay with a local friend instead. One of my main peeves with this property is that it felt like it’s purely a business. The cost isn’t justified, the quality of the place is mediocre but just made to look nice. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Nice location, comfortable bed, kitchen with all we needed including large fridge and Nespresso machine.Easy access using phone app.

Small shower with drain that accumulates water. Nowhere to hang our towels.Beep sounding all through the night,never found the source! But we slept through it.

Emplacement excellent Lits confortables Propreté

Les murs défraîchi qui manquent un peu d’amour. Les rideaux qui sont décrochés et retenus par une corde. Ca enlève rien au confort mais ….
