Guest Reviews

• Mark (6/5): - Expedia also needs to be more transparent about what floor an apt is on. Fifth floor walk up was revealed by the manager on her shrill call, saying not her job to inform “agency” of such information. The apt was ok the experience was dismal.
• Stephen (10/5): Great view, comfort in the old city. - Come ready to pound the hills - Porto is a great place to get fit just walking around! This apartment was right in the western part of the old town and gives a GREAT authentic feel of what makes Porto special - narrow, steep winding medieval streets and stairways. Apartment itself is modern, air-conditioned and has a great view west over the river. I would stay here again!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Sehr schöne geräumige Wohnung, bestens ausgestattet mit allem was man in einer Ferienwohnung so braucht, sogar Kaffee, Tee, Salz und Zucker wurden kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt, Müll wurde entleert, Toilettenpapier aufgefüllt. Die Lage ist sehr günstig (fast alle Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß erreichbar, für größere Entfernungen: Züge vom Bahnhof Sao Bento - ist in 10 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar) und der Ausblick von den oberen Stockwerken ist fantastisch. Das Einzige was recht unangenehm auffiel, war ein muffiger Geruch im Treppenhaus, im Apartment ließen wir die Fenster stets geöffnet. Die Anreise (sowie Abreise) mit Koffern war eine Herausforderung - hügelige Gegend, steile gepflasterte Straßen und kein Aufzug in der Unterkunft...
• Alikrigina (8/5): PRÓXIMO AOS PONTOS PRINCIPAIS DO PORTO!! - Apartamento bem localizado,tranquilo e próximo aos principais pontos.Eu e meu marido adoramos!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Wonderful location, a 10 minute walk uphill into town or a 5 minute walk down to the river to catch the tram.
• filipe (4/5): A éviter - Nous avons effectué un séjour de 4 jours. Le ménage n'a jamais été fait. A notre arrivé nous avions une serviette de bain par personne, j'ai du insister pour en avoir une seconde .... Draps du lit tâchés, poussière un peu partout et surtout des cafards ! Et pas des petits ( photos a l'appui ). Aucune insonorisation, du bruit toute la nuit jusqu'à 3h du matin. Les travaux des 8h30 le matin.... Si vous avez une voiture il est tres difficile de trouver de la place et c'est payant. L'immeuble etant en hauteur, il est fatiguant a la longue d'y accéder. Bref, pour le même prix vous trouverez bien mieux. A éviter
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Das Apartment war sehr sauber. Die Möbel waren etwas älter. Aber alles in gutem Zustand. Die Aussicht war perfekt.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Calme, propre, accueil sympathique, proche centre ville.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - no sink plug for washing up, and slight smell of smoke from previous guests smoking when they shouldn't. Otherwise good location. Builders working nearby woke us at 8 one morning with drilling, but otherwise it was ok.
• AndyW (8/5): - Great location if you don’t mind lots of steps and steep roads. Large rooms with everything necessary. Great service from Sofia.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This Porto apartment was a wonderful gem, and I would stay here again in a heartbeat! We were here in September 2018, and the weather was perfect. The 4th floor unit provides the most spectacular view of the Duoro River, and I was amazed how closeby this apartment was to the city center. Thank you Sofia!
• christophe (8/5): - très bon séjour dans cet appartement bien placé près du Douro
• Verified traveler (10/5): Fantastic hotel with nice scenery - This apartment is great for your trip in Porto. It has fantastic view of river and easy to go cith center. Recommend 100%!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - .NO ME GUSTO EL QUE NO DISPONGAN DE ASCENSOR Y FALTA DE APARCAMIENTO.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Repetiria sin lugar a dudas, centrico y tranquilo a la vez.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Es war alles notwendige vorhanden, ein guter Service und viele Sitzgelegenheiten
• Alicia (10/5): - Apartamento muy agradable, muy cerca del rio, con unas vistas fabulosas y sin ruidos. Cuando necesité algo me atendieron rapida y efectivamente. Recomendable el servicio de recogida y traslado al aeropuerto, mas barato que un taxi.sin duda repetiriamos.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Recomendable - Excelente apartamento. Muy bien equipado y decorado. Es de destacar la eficiencia y cordialidad de su manager Sofìa Ferreira. Si bien esta muy bien ubicado, hay que tener en cuenta que esta en un lugar muy elevado por lo cual se complica al subir con maletas. Buen wifi.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Une superbe vue, proche du centre et du bord de la Douro ... dans un quartier typique !
• Jean-Claude (8/5): Situation parfaite et vue splendide sur le Douro - Nous avons séjourné dans cette hôtel pendant 6 jours pour visiter Porto et ses environs. Il est à 50m du centre historique, du tramway 1 (pour aller voir l’océan) et du Douro. Il est vraiment pratique pour tout faire à pied. Le studio au 3ième étage est lumineux, spacieux pour 2 personnes, bien équipé, calme et avec une superbe vue sur le Douro. Pour les transferts entre l’aéroport et l’hôtel nous avons demandé à l’hôtel de nous organiser le taxi (La station de métro est un peu loin). Nous avons pu laisser nos bagages le dernier jour jusqu’à 20h pour profiter pleinement de notre journée. En conclusion, je le recommande.
• Cheryl (10/5): A tired but happy traveler - The location and view were perfect. Everything is updated and nice. Be sure to contact the manager as to when you might arrive or you may be sitting there for hours. The apartment was 80 stair steps up. Be sure to pack light or ask for a lower apartment.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Sehr schöne Wohnung in der Nähe des Flusses und alle Sehenswürdigkeiten gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Es war in der Küche alles vorhanden was man braucht, auch Kaffee und Tee wurde kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt. Die Ansprechpartnerin war super nett und hat uns sogar einen Ausflug organisiert.
• alex (10/5): Appartement dans le vieux porto - Sejour de 2 semaines dans un appartement climatisé confortable avec vue exceptionnelle sur le fleuve, merveilleusement situé dans le vieux centre-ville. Appartement insonorisé situé dans un quartier tres calme, proche de tout à pied. Adresse fabuleuse pour sejourner à Porto !
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Mycket bra läge och utrustad lägenhet. Trevlig service dock väldigt obekväma sängar.
• Laura (8/5): Great views! - The best feature about the apartment is the view from the top floors. Amazing! The location is quite central, but hard to reach, you have to go up and down the hills. Also, if you are driving, parking is really difficult.
• Chuck (10/5): A stay with the view of Douro River and Gaia - Having an awesome view out of windows, we stay here for six nights. The apartment provides a full set of kitchen kits and coffee pots. We have everything we need for our vacation. The location is good as well. It locates in the historic center of Porto, close to the Palace of Bolsa. Sophia, our host, is very helpful and friendly. This is a pleasure stay for sure, and we like to come back again.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Goed appartement in centrum - Van alle gemakken voorzien op loopafstand van boulevard/oude centrum
• Kim (10/5): I would stay here again - A roomy comfortable apartment with a nice feel, good location, well equipped kitchen, adequate size bathroom, very comfortable bed.
• MARCELO (10/5): EXCELENTE LOCALIZAÇÃO, FAÇA TUDO A PÉ!! - ADOREI A LOCALIZAÇÃO!! QUARTO ESPAÇOSO, CABERIA ATÉ UMA FAMÍLIA DE 4!!
• Sharon (10/5): Great getaway in Porto - Nice apartment in Porto. Convenient location to the major sites & attractions. Clean & comfortable. We had the 5th floor room - amazing views. There is no elevator, which I sometimes missed after a long day of walking around Porto. The shower was a little small, by American standards, but other than that it was fine - hot water and good water pressure. It was nice having a small kitchen in the room, though the food is so good in Porto, we never took much advantage of it.
• John Marius (10/5): 住得過 - 日夜很清靜，住高層才可看見河景但沒有電梯。離火車及地鐵站要行碎石路十五分鐘。附近有幾間餐廳，及有一間看葡歌曲表演之餐廳在轉角位，食物可口。
• Kim (10/5): Best view ever. - We stayed on the fifth floor with thre big windws that you can throw open to the river, the sea gulls, the early morning fog and the view. And I mean the VIEW.
• Klaus (8/5): Recommended - Excellent stay in a well-equipped and modern apartment. Great service, and the location is close to the Rebeiro yet quiet. Minor quibbles are the bathroom being poorly ventilated and the tv being tiny with bad sound. But hey, you're not there to watch tv.
• FRANK (10/5): Perfect location, fair price. - Would love to stay there again. Clean, newly remodeled, balcony view of the river, glass of port on check-in. Caution: there are stairs to climb and, if you can't walk steep streets, take a taxi to the door. (But then, you;d have to take a taxi everywhere you go.) ;
• Susan (10/5): Great. - Had a lovely time. Location was good- close enough without being too noisy. Apartment was great, but shower was put in by someone very tall! Sofia was very helpful. Would stay there again.
• Kitty (10/5): Will definitely stay here again - The place was in a great location with great view of the river. Within walking distance to the old town and Sao Bento station. Very well setup. Sofia is most helpful.
• Cara (6/5): Pretty good - Very good location, but parking is hard to find. The owner, Gonzalo, was wonderful. He went with my husband and they finally found a spot. It is an up and down area - lots of hills, but also a lot to see within a short walk. The apartment didn't "wow" me with anything, but it was certainly serviceable and did the job. Quiet street, decent mattress (but terrible pillows), thoughtful kitchen (they provided coffee for the coffee maker!).
• Eliane (6/5): Bem localizado! - Fomos recebidas com um cálice de vinho do Porto e o atendimento pessoal foi muito bom. O hotel era bem localizado com uma vista estupenda, porém, nosso quarto estava no terceiro andar sem elevador. E temos mais de 70 anos!!!!!
• Lena (10/5): Comfortable modern apartment - We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed all modern comforts in the heart of old Porto. Driving and parking can be a challenge but nothing is impossible. The hotel staff checked us in and freed up a parking space. The place is equipped with everything you need if you choose to cook your own meals but should you decide to go out, all the great dining is right at your fingertips.
• Laura (10/5): Beautiful comfortable apartment - We loved our stay in this beautiful apartment! Our room had an amazing view with a lovely balcony.
• Fidel (10/5): - estupendo
• Verified traveler (10/5): Fabulous place to stay - Everything was amazing from beginning to end. It's a lovely place, perfect location, stunning views... We will definitely stay again. Porto is our new favourite place.
• William (10/5): Amazing! - What a great apartment! Close to the action and still very quiet. The apartment was great, all of the things you need to make a meal with a quick trip to the grocery. Very spacious apartment. Quite a few hills if you walk from public transit but worth it!
• Mark (10/5): Lovely apartment, excellent Location - A 10 minute walk from the apartment along the river to restaurants and the Duro day trip cruise boats. Only 20 min walk to the centre of town.
• Reeann (10/5): Amazing views - By far our favorite hotel stay in Portugal. The apartment was immaculate with incredible views over the river. The staff was so kind and upgraded us simply cause the room was vacant. And you cannot ask for a better location. I'm hardly ever a repeat customer, but I would book this place again if I return to Porto
• Edward (10/5): Very positive experience and great location - We really enjoyed the place in Porto. There was a plumbing problem and it was resolved within a few hours following notification. The location was close to the tourist area of the Rio Duro - just about 120 steps directly down to the water. The bed was comfortable, even though you could not exit from the left side only from the foot or the right when needing to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Furniture was not that comfortable for sitting around for extended periods, but we were there to be out about and exploring. We would easily stay there again!
• Scott (10/5): 3 days in Porto - This apartment is ideally located in Porto, head downhill via a narrow stairwell towards the Ribeira and all the bars and restaurants there, or head the other way along Rua das Flores and all its great bars and restaurants towards São Bento station where you can connect to the Metro service or the national train services. We stayed there for 3 days and covered a lot of ground within Porto itself. once you are on the Riberia, the Ponte Luís I is a short walk away, and this will take you over the Douro to all the Port houses on the south bank. We even had time on our final day to walk out to Foz do Douro and the beaches that face the Atlantic along that coastline. NB we walked, takes just over an hour, but you can catch the tram all the out. The apartment is a really good size for a couple, plenty of room, and useful appliances. NB for the cooker hood......pull it towards you to switch it on!!! The staff there were really helpful and friendly and as we had a late flight out, they were happy to allow us to leave our baggage in the lobby area and the entire building requires a security code to access. We would definitely stay here again if and when we return to Porto. Thanks!
• Jacqueline (10/5): Absolutely wonderful - I loved staying at Oporto Palace Apartments. I had the 4th floor apartment with a balcony and the most amazing view. The apartment was very clean, spacious, and the bed was so comfortable. There were so many great restaurants nearby and the train station was just a 12 minute walk away. I had a lot of difficulty finding the place but once I was there it was very easy to navigate my way around the city. There are a lot of stairs to climb to get to the 4th floor, but the views were worth it. This was a great find, and I highly recommend it.
• alison (10/5): - It was a great apartment with amazing view ,
• anthony (10/5): porto apartment - lovely position and great view from 2nd floor apartment
