Stayed 3 nights

It was a nice hotell. But i asked for kitchen equiptment, and when I arrived I hadnt got it. I asked twize, and didnt get it before I returned to the hotel next day. We were 3 people and all I got was 2 of plates, glass, fork, knive and spoon. Before the kitchen had a tiny fryingpan and 2 small cockingpans. No equipment to make food. This was bad service when they advertised a kitchen. And one night 4:30 AM the alarm went of because an error.

We chose this hotel in Gaia, thinking it would be a more affordable alternative to staying in Porto, but it ended up costing us more in transportation and inconvenience. We arrived at 11 a.m. but were unable to check in until nearly 3 p.m. The hotel said it was fully booked and could not accommodate an early check-in, which was surprising since they had emailed us days earlier offering early check-in for an additional fee. The bar was unattended when we arrived despite being listed as open, and the front desk staff was not particularly welcoming or accommodating. The only good thing was the restaurant in the lobby. Breakfast was okay. The hotel is located in a residential area with no restaurants, shops, or attractions within walking distance. We had to take an Uber for every outing, so any savings on the room were quickly lost. The rooms were dated and fell short of expectations. An iron and an ironing board were not provided and had to be requested. The biggest issue was the bathroom. The bathtub was extremely high to step into, very narrow, and had no safety bars. It felt unsafe, and I was concerned about slipping. After speaking with the front desk, we were eventually moved to a room with a walk-in shower. If your goal is to visit Porto, I recommend staying in the city center. The inconvenience of this location and the extra transportation costs made this hotel a poor value for us.
