Guest Reviews
- Daniel (10/5): - Beautiful apartment a few steps away from the water, shopping and restaurants.
- Julio (10/5): - Great location. Room was clean and large. The only thing off putting was the smell in the entrance to the building. Also, the front door of the building was supposed to be only accessible by using a lock code but we were able to open the door just by pushing it. Property should fix this security loop hole.
- Nicole (10/5): - Very clean, great location and our suite had a small view of the Duoro River. Although advertised as soundproof rooms, you can still hear guests when they are in the hallway by the elevator. We still enjoyed our stay!
- Michel (10/5): - Fantastic apartment in an ideal central location. Parking not ideal and quite expensive in the area , shop before arriving .. else this place is perfect!! Highly recommend
- Colin (6/5): - Fantastically placed to experience the old Part of Porto, and in walking distance to all the major sites. The maintenance team need extra staff as there were many items requiring fixing, that were never fixed.
- David Fergus (10/5): - Nice comfortable apartment. Black out blinds and sound proofing was effective. Could get a little noisy with the occasional motor bike coming through the tunnel. Staff were great and just 2 mins walk from the river. Beautiful.
- Larissa (10/5): - Even though we were at street level it was quiet. The air conditioner was a welcome relief on a hot day.
- Dan (8/5): - We really enjoyed our stay the the Arc Carris apartments. If you are looking to be in downtown Porto close to grocery, restaurants, shopping, etc you cannot beat this property. The property management was also excellent to deal with us. When our flight was delayed on our check out day they allowed us to check out late and stored our bags for very cheap so we could enjoy the day in Porto. Our one recommendation would be to fix the hot water situation. The temperature of water that came out of the shower was erratic, constantly changing on its own.
- Fabiola (10/5): - It was great, safe and very spacious
- MIRNA (10/5): - Everything worked out perfectly. Since we had read the reviews we knew about the check in process. Our concerns were rapidly addressed and we had a nice and smooth stay. Despite the location of the apartments in such a busy area of Porto, the windows were soundproof and we slept well. Breakfast was lovely and the staff very helpful.
- Marie (10/5): - I highly recommend staying at the Apartamentos The Arc Carris when you are in Porto. Beautiful modern room, kitchen and bathroom. A large deck with table and chairs overlooks the street. One block away from the river. A unique feature is the entrance. It takes you through a large one way window. Very Alice in Wonderland like. I was staying there alone and felt incredibly safe.
- Simranjit (10/5): - Great location and big apartment.
- Susan (10/5): - The apartment was very well presented, clean and spacious. It’s in a great situation, near the river, with lots of drinking and dining places nearby. We booked a breakfast option at an extra cost and I would not recommend that - better to find a breakfast elsewhere. The apartment itself was exceptional though and I would definitely recommend a stay there.
- cheryl (10/5): - Right in the heart of Porto
- Rebecca (8/5): - We had a good stay overall, but want people to go in the trx with their eyes open... It's in a very busy and popular area so there's good and bad with that. Good is everything a tourist wants to see is within walking distance. But then there are always loads of people hanging out at the street-level door to the property, including a pan handler who will tell you every day it's his birthday. He's also working with the convenient store clerks next door and the female pan handler across the road, so be aware of all that. Other than that, once you get inside, the property is modern, spacious, nicely decorated, but with a few minor maintenance issues like shower drain is slow, and bathroom sink leaks so everything you place under it will get wet... But I also didn't pay that much so overall solid.
- Katherine (10/5): - This property is located right in the heart of the waterfront tourist area, close to dining options and plenty of beautiful sights. There is also a small grocery next door. The apartment itself has a beautiful view from the small balcony, but you have to go out onto the balcony to see it. I loved the way the doors opened to the outside to enjoy the fresh air. Our only complaint was that the bed pillows were ridiculously thin. Everything else was wonderful! Can be a bit noisy due to location, but we would stay here again.
- Chelsea (10/5): - The Apartments were great for our one week stay. Having the extra space compared to a hotel room was greatly appreciated. The apartments were clean and well maintained. The location is perfect since you’re less than a 5 minute walk to the Duoro River, Don Luis Bridge and many restaurants. The only small confusion was where to check-in and access the apartment on the first day since you have to check- in at the main hotel and then cross the street to get to the apartments.
- Tracy Jane (10/5): - Nothing bad - lovely apartment
- Caitlin (10/5): - Perfect location, 1 minute to the river and 10 minute walk to the old city centre. The room was spacious and clean. The check in was good, but just note that you need to go to the main hotel across the road, and get a code to open the apartments. Slightly hard to find, but once we got there it was smooth!
- Danielle (10/5): - This apartment stay was wonderful! Great location and views! It was located right by the water walking distance to all the attractions. Breakfast was wonderful being able to start the day with so many options the whole family was happy
- Ian (10/5): - Excellent apartment 2 minutes from the historic harbour. Great location. Room had all we needed to make snacks and store water and wine in the fridge. Handy to have dishwasher, too. Staff were very helpful and I would highly recommend these apartments.
- Jarrod (6/5): - Nice and clean and very central. Apartment with elevator which was nice. Check in across the road which wasn’t clear but I saw this in a prior review so I had a heads up. It’s very close by so not a big issue. Apartment is spacious and clean and was a very good rate. Everything is walkable and very central to old town and across the bridge to Gaia area. The shower was terrible - very difficult to get right temp and flow. The shower head was more like a shower mixer and not a shower rose. The pressure was so strong that when we ditched on the water the mixer flew off the stand and sprayed everywhere. There was also a piece of metal on the bathroom floor, just behind the door. Probably from a door stopper that broke off. Very dangerous if not seen and can inflict some serious injury. Staff were friendly and check in smooth. I booked it due to the “exceptional” ratings. It’s a nice option at a good rate and I’d rate it as “very good”.
- Christopher (10/5): - Great property right in the heart of Porto. Everything about it was perfect!
- Patrick (10/5): Amazing view - Great stay in central location. The view from our balcony was breathtaking. Joana at front desk was friendly and informative.
- Manuel (10/5): - Nice property, exelwnt breackfast and facilities, very clean. Excelent.
- Catherine (10/5): - We stayed at a 2 bedroom unit and it was perfect for our group! Great location, walkable to many beautiful sites and variety of food options.
- Deborah (8/5): - Excellent location. Friendly staff. Spacious apartment with everything we needed. The only problem was the shower - the strange design made temperature and strength were very difficult to control.
- Marc (10/5): - Nice roomy apartment and very friendly check in
- shawn (10/5): - This turned out to be a great location, close to the river with gorgeous bridges. Studio layout was so convenient with plenty of room. Nice, new and very enjoyable.
- Kathy (10/5): - We loved this property! The location in old town was perfect, the apartment was comfortable and clean, and we felt very safe there.
- Mitchell (10/5): - The apartment was very nice and in a great location, near the Porto waterfront. A good breakfast was included in the hotel across the street.
- Nicholas (10/5): - Great location to see Porto. Has elevator for seniors or those with walking difficulties. Best to take Uber or taxi due no close parking. Close to waterfrontand other attractions. Highly recomend staying here. Unfortunately there is road construction infront but windows seal out noise
- Donald (10/5): - One of the best rooms I’ve had in Europe, at the apartments kitty corner to the main hotel.
- Alice (10/5): - The apartment is very comfortable and spacious, kitchen well equipped and the place is very clean. Just 2 minutes walk to the Ribera square, highly recommended and definitely will stay there again.
- Alice (10/5): - Great location
- Verified traveler (4/5): - First the positive: location, location, location. You're in the heart of it. But it also means lots of traffic, cars honking late into the night, as in past midnight. Great for a younger crowd, not ideal for a family with young kids or seniors. The room was a bit dated, bathroom ok but there's really no counter space to put your stuff down. Also if you stay in the apartment be aware that you don't get a key, rather a key code to punch in. Can be tricky late at night, since you have to be mindful of your surroundings as you're basically standing on the street when trying to enter. Hotel staff was great.
- Rio (10/5): - The Arc Carrís apartments were amazing! The location is in the best spot, the views are amazing, and the service from the staff was excellent. I would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Porto!!!
- Jess (6/5): - Location of the property was excellent & the room was nicely presented, however, it was let down by lack of maintenance. The studio itself wasn’t cleaned properly, the kitchen area was covered in dust and there were stains around the bed. The bathroom, whilst nicely presented, smelt of damp & the shower was a nightmare to use. To get a constant temperature, you had to have it on a an extremely powerful pressure which wasn’t comfortable to use, any less and the shower would constantly go from scolding to freezing. I liked the apartment and building, it’s just a shame it was let down by the maintenance.
- Jorge L (10/5): Excellent and beautiful Apartment - Great location near of everything
- christina (10/5): - This was an excellent stay. Even with the San Joao festival going on outside our windows, with the shutters closed you could barely hear it. Super cute bathroom with great water pressure. Beds were comfy and ac was nice and cool. Great location. Would stay again
- Andre (8/5): - It was a beautiful apartment, the lobby is modern and welcoming. The only downfall was there was no iron in our room and also, we were promised a terrace / balcony which we did not get.
- Gwendeline (10/5): - Great location, by the river, check in is easy, at the hotel that is right across the apartment. The room is big and the amenities in the apartment is in great condition
- Zhuoren (10/5): - Nice location
- Zhuoren (10/5): - Good localtion
- Sanjiv (10/5): - Very nice property, breakfast was terrific and staff is very accommodating. They arranged out taxi from the airport and recommended a private Douro valley tour . Helena was very helpful in guiding and arranging Douro valley tour. Overall 10/10.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Bad service - The staff is not helping well. I request to use Euros with my credit card. With her instructions, we ended up paying US dollar with extra 4 %. First night, the water heater is not working. Ended up my husband took a cold water shower. I did try to call reception for help but the phone was not working. The second night, one of the room has no electricity at all, we have to go down to the reception to ask for help. It took a long time to persuade the staffs to come up to fix the issue if we don’t insist.
- Javier (4/5): - The building is lovely. We were shocked to find the property had not been cleaned. There were sexual toys left behind from the previous occupancy. When reported this to the manager, he blamed the third-party cleaning company. Unbelievable!
- Michael (10/5): Great location - We enjoyed our stay in the 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom apartment. The check in at the hotel was conveniently located just a few steps away from the apartment building. The breakfast option was lovely. Great service from the front desk and the restaurant servers. Location of the property is perfect for exploring the Ribeiro area. Lots of wonderful restaurants nearby. Easy walking distance to the river for our river cruise.
- jonathan (10/5): Porto Perfection - Excellent apartment in a perfect location
- Harsha (10/5): - I would stay again
- james (10/5): All is good - Property was perfectly located. Breakfast was plentiful. And tasty. Staff was very responsive. perfect combination of good taste and comfort. Only difficulty was recognizing the door to enter, and where to check in.
- Parima (10/5): - Wonderful hotel/apartment with comfortable and clean accommodations in a great location. Very happy with our choice!
- Darcy (10/5): - It was in a great area! The apartment was clean and quiet. Perfect for our family!
- Kimberly (10/5): - Loved location and space
- Myrla (4/5): - Shower showed mildew.
- KEVIN (10/5): - Lovely apartment right in the heart of Porto yet quiet. Very modern and clean. Only issue was parking!
- Andrea (10/5): Great location - We stayed in an apartment with a terrace and views of the river and street below. The room was very spacious and clean, it had a kitchen and sitting area. The apartments are located in the historic district, check in was easy at the hotel across the street. It is a great location with easy walking distance to everything in Porto.
- Francesca (10/5): - Very central closeto tourist attractions and restaurants..place was clean and friendly service..
- seong (4/5): - The Arc apartment should NOT be rated a 4-star, I’d say it should be closer to a 2-star accommodation. Firstly the strong bleach smell in the main entrance and the apartment is a major turn off. And the bathroom (in the apartment) reminds me of a dirty public bathroom. I had to keep my shoes on at all time since the bathroom floor seemed dirty. And, what is up with the yucky red carpet in the bedroom? Very unattractive and dirty. I have to say, I did not enjoy staying here at all and would not recommend. The only good thing about the Arc was the free breakfast. The breakfast was ok.
- Alastair (2/5): - Checkin instructions took us to a location 20 minutes from the actual checkin location. Contact phone number didn't work. Parking is not close, and is ridiculously expensive. Foul odour inside our apartment.
- Shafaq (10/5): - It was spacious and well decorated. Another washroom would have been great. One washroom for 6 people was a bit inconvenient
- Jesiel (10/5): - Really enjoyed our stay . Location was great . Property was clean .
- Kristen (10/5): Location could not be better - This place is great! So nice to have space for everyone to sleep and spread out. You could not get a better location - walk out the door and you are in the heart of the action. Check in at hotel across the road was easy. Recommend the massage at WeDo Massage in the hotel - 100 Euro for 1 hour body and 1 hour foot massage. We had Penthouse Panoramic 2 Bedroom and Wi-Fi didn’t work for us either but we were on holiday so just used hotspots. Only recommendation is to put additional TVs in by the beds. Great stay!
- Lisa (10/5): - We rented the penthouse and it was even more beautiful in person than in photos! Great layout and very clean. Perfect location in Porto. It’s very hard to find, so message the hotel before you arrive for check in instructions.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The property and room itself were great and in a great location. The rest was not great… They told me in the reservation confirmation you HAVE to contact them 72 hours in advance, and then did not respond to 6 emails over 5 days (still haven’t 2 weeks later). Definitely make you feel second class compared to the main hotel, unfriendly staff.
- Yulia (10/5): - We really liked our apartment.It was clean, nicely decorated, noise proof and the staff were ready to help if we needed anything.
- David (10/5): - Beautiful location. Room was very spacious. Very clean.
- Uchenna (10/5): - Very spacious, and conveniently located.
- RUI (10/5): - Great location, walking distance to many things, tons shops and restaurants nearby,Hed no issues with wifi, wonderful stay!
- Andreas (10/5): - Amazing apartment for the five of us. Spacious and clean and cool design. The balconies are great and offer beautiful views
- Pawel (6/5): wifi is essentially not usable - + It is located near the waterfront which makes it a perfect tourist spot for hikes on the riverbank + Apartment looks really nice. + The kitchen is well equipped and thought through. + big safe that can easily hold two 13 inch laptops and some more stuff. When we checked in we realized that the safe doesn't work. After about 30 min maintenance staff diagnosed the problem, removed the faulty safe and installed a new one that worked properly. - wifi is horrible. it works irregularly, with connection going and stopping all the time. Sometimes even checking your email is impossible. If you need stable connection for anything you’re going be frustrated -Bathroom is spacious and looks pretty but the water pressure is low in the shower and it floods the floor. It’s also impossible to use the sink without splashing everything with water. And the light is rather dim which makes it hard to shave - In the kitchen some salt and pepper would be nice. - There is a dish drainer but nothing to wash the dishes by hand. There is a dishwasher and you get one tablet for it but it’s not refilled by housekeeping. (Housekeeping puts any dirty dishes they can find in the dishwasher and turn it on - using their own tablets so there's that)
- Laura (10/5): - The windows and balconies allowed great views of the surrounding streets and sights to the river. Great area with lots nearby.
- Orest (10/5): - The apartment was clean and very secure. We had minor issues but the maintenance guys were there in an instant to make the adjustments. Only complaint is our apartment had a odour in the bathroom. It is probably because there is no pea trap on the sink and smelled
- Craig Robert (10/5): - The Apartment was perfect! It was spacious, clean, and centrally located. We had breakfast included at the Hotel around the corner and it was incredible. The attention from everyone was great. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone.
- Ivy (10/5): - Excellent!
- Katherine (10/5): - A really lovely spot to settle for a longer stay in Porto.
- Daisy (10/5): - Great location. It was managed by Caris Hotel across the street. Check in instruction said to reach out before check in but was unnecessary. Front office was very nice and helpful. We had the corner apartment and it was great to have views of the street on two sides. It was weird though that power in that unit goes off at 7am. On our first day we had to call from our cellphone because the unit phone was not in order with the power out, front office offered to send a maintenance person, but my husband managed to flip the breaker switch which turned the light back on. Happened every day we were there. Not big of a deal. since we figured it out but it was weird. Other than that, the unit was really nice and clean, has most that you need but w/d. It was like a hotel suite with no pre-checkout chores like all other VRBOs!
- Max (10/5): - Great stay at a great location
- Michael (8/5): - Beware: one of the apartments has a stairwell between bathroom and bedroom levels.
- Nina (8/5): - To check into the property, you must go across the street. Also, the address took us down 6 minutes away. Maybe look on google maps first before giving to a driver.
- caroline (10/5): - The apartment was clean, comfortable, and spacious. It is very near the water and lots of dining options.
- Krizia Louise (4/5): Poor communication from front desk and management - Room was nice and clean. However Wifi and room phone wasn't working. I have brought it up with front desk 3 times and no one came to fix. Also sent email to hotel and did not receive a reply. Poor communication and would not recommend.
- Paul Raymond James (10/5): - Great property in a fantastic location - very central and can walk to all the main attractions. Room is like having own apartment. Very nicely decorated and in excellent condition
- Simon (8/5): - Attractive apartment, clean, modern and great location
- Charles (10/5): - Rented one of the studios. The apt. was great. Liked the space. It is managed by the hotel across the street. Therefore, it is treated like a hotel. You don’t get many of the perks that you do when it’s rented by the owner. For example, You get daily housekeeping but no salt and pepper. Not a big deal. There are about five grocery stores within a couple of blocks. We went to Taberno das Mercadores and Jimao Tapas e Vinhos for dinner. They are about a block away and we’re both excellent. They are very small so make reservations. The cost was less than several of the “tourist” restaurants by the water and the food was much better. We did the yellow bus tour with the six bridges tour and Calem wine tour on one ticket. It was $30 euros and a pretty decent deal, although touristy. We didn’t really use public transportation. We used Uber a couple of times. We walked most places.
- Meredith (10/5): - Great location, beautiful apartment, helpful that the hotel can hold your luggage
- Heidi (8/5): - Great location
- kelly (10/5): - Very clean and easy to get into. The only complaint was there was a bad smell in the first floor lobby area
- Sarah (10/5): - We arrived at the property at around 10:00 am and our apartment was already ready. Check-in was easy and the staff kindly greeted us and one of them even walked us next door to the apartments. The apartments are nicely renovated, clean, spacious and had a very secure lock to the front door of the apartment. The shower was nice and hot. The beds were comfy and big. They provided towels. The cleaning staff tidy-up our apartments each night. The apartments are centrally located near the river. It is the perfect hotel to stay at if you want to drink on the river and then stumble back to your apartment. It was very easy to meet our tour guide and pick up Ubers at the location. Highly recommend staying here and will stay here when I return to Porto.
- Nurit (10/5): Great Location and staff - The apartment is bigger than expected, we have all we needed and more, the location is outstanding! We had an icritical ssue and Paula from the front desk help us to solve it above the expectations. Thank you Paula!
- Ryan (10/5): - Excellent location, extremely comfortable stay. We loved it!
- Stephen (10/5): Rally holiday - Very quiet, cleaning service excellant. Handy for all amenities with small supermarket and taxi stand all within two minutes. Nice that security on doors, although not needed were excellant. Helpful staff at parent hotel across the road when needed.
- Muhammad (10/5): - Very good place. Spacious and well maintained and a great location
- Maite (8/5): - I enjoyed my stay but felt the apartment could have included more amenities such as dish soap and coffee. The apartment itself was comfortable and well-located.
- Diego (8/5): - Conveniently located apartments
- Anthony (10/5): - My fiancée and I stayed in the studio with balcony for two nights, and we absolutely loved it! The balcony was spacious, had a table and chairs, and offered gorgeous views. The apartments are located across the street from the main hotel, so there was no concierge or security directly downstairs, but the location seemed very safe so we didn’t feel uncomfortable coming in and out using the door codes. This is just a minute walk to Ribeira Square so there is plenty to see and do no matter which direction you walk in. It is also right above a small grocery store which was super convenient. I will definitely stay here again if/when I return to Porto and I will recommend it to everyone I know who is interested in visiting.
