Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Aveiro District

This is a great hotel! The location is amazing. The front desk staff is very helpful. The breakfast buffet has a great spread of options. The room was a little tight, but modern and clean. No noise and the beds/pillows were very comfortable. The private pool on the terrace was a great addition for PM turndown. Its pretty much a jacuzzi and feels amazing on the body after all the walking each day, so I highly recommend this room! I would 100% stay here again.

Lovely boutique hotel in the heart of Porto. Walking distance to everything - bring comfortable walking shoes !! The hotel provided a tranquil haven to return to after a hot day on your feet. Lovely courtyard at the back of the hotel for a drink & snack with a cool plunge pool to cool down in. Sitting with a glass of something in the courtyard takes you away from the Porto bustle.

The Catalonia Porto hotel is truly a beautiful gem of a hotel. The accommodation feels premium with lovely spaces to relax both indoors and outdoors with attention to detail in the relaxed and calm interior and exterior areas. The pool area and outdoor terrace is a quiet haven to relax and take a dip after a day on your feet. Our room was clean and comfortable, we stayed in a double room with terrace. I would say it's deffinitely worth getting a room with some outdoor space either a terracce or garden option as the room would have felt a little on the small side without the balcony. The road outside can be a little noisy however if you close the balcony doors/windows you can't hear anything and there's A/C in the room so you can still maintain the temperature. Breakfast was delicious with many options to cater for all tastes including continental, English style; bacon, eggs, beans etc and a chef on hand to rustle up omelette's or waffles amongst other things. We enjoyed a couples massage which was very relaxing and professional and very reasonably priced. I also spent some time in the spa which has a fee of €8 per hour per person and consists of an indoor pool, a sauna and some loungers to relax on. I only spent an hour in here, which is probably long enough. The hotel is within walking distance to all the main tourist areas but feels far enough out of the centre to relax and unwind. All staff were very friendly and helpful throughout out stay. Keep up the good work!

We’ve just spent six nights in the beautiful Catalonia Porto Hotel. Everything about this hotel is perfect. Check in was quick and reception staff always most professional and helpful. We felt secure as you need a room key to operate the lifts, there are adequate lifts and never a queue. Everywhere in the hotel was spotlessly clean and welcoming. Our superior room was spacious and comfortable and although it overlooked road, it was very peaceful and we had a good sleep in the comfortable beds. Our room was kept lovely and clean with nice fluffy towels, robes, slippers and excellent lighting. Breakfast was amazing, well done to all the breakfast staff, lots of choice, very fresh, we love the orange juice machine! All fresh food was regularly replenished and breakfast really set us up for the day. As we booked a superior room we were entitled to a daily spa visit, which was most welcome after walking around Porto all day. The massage jets in the indoor pool, cold ice if you want it and a sauna were refreshing. We used the outdoor pool every day, as did a few other guests but it is only for the brave in late September! The hotel is well located, within easy walking distance of the hop on hop off buses, the funicular railway and many restaurants and cafes. We ate in the hotel restaurant one evening and the food was delicious! We highly recommend the Catalonia Porto Hotel, a pleasant oasis in the middle of a very busy city, we couldn’t have made a better choice!

Hotel is in a really good location to get to what you need and Porto overall is very walkable. There is a really good supermarket a few minutes away and close to some bars and restaurants. Staff were really friendly and helpful including giving us food recommendations for restaurants and calling up for us to book. Room was clean, airy and spacious. We had a room with a terrace which unfortunately we didn’t get much chance to use as we seemed to get 3 bad days in the middle of glorious sunshine (never mind) which also meant we didn’t get the chance to use the outdoor pool but the setting seemed really nice. Breakfast is great with lots of choice. Drinks stations, hot food, pastries, continental, fruit and yoghurts etc with loads of granola choices and also an on demand egg or pancake station. The indoor ‘spa’ is bookable for €8 per hour and it’s a small indoor pool with a sauna. I tried it once and wouldn’t have gone back. But all seemed clean enough etc. A bottle of water is also provided upon arriving FOC. There is a tea and coffee station (no pods) in the room and the only small thing is that the biscuits are chargeable at about €1.50 for one.

Nice hotel, excellent service, bar with pool table which was nice in the evening while sipping our glass of port. Only thing that we didn't really like was the private pool. Guess it hadn't been used in a while because it was filthy. Other than that everything was good.

We booked a room for just 1 night as a little romantic getaway during our holiday in Portugal. Upon arrival the peaceful area in which the hotel is located really soaks you into an relaxing mood. We were welcomed by friendly staff and even tho we arrived a little early, they made sure that our room was clean and ready for us. The room is very clean, nicely decorated and breaths the peaceful environment of the area. The spa facilities are great, we were lucky to have them all to ourselfs. There is an indoor pool, turkish steam sauna, jacuzzi and sauna. Right outside the pool area is enough space to soak up the sun on one of the chairs, a bar and a children playground. The hotel offers a library, pooltable, restaurant, roomservice, minibar, lounge area and enough activities which can be booked as an extra for your stay. Breakfast is included in each booking. Our overall experience is that this was the perfect getaway to really enjoy the peace and eachother.

Stayed with my husband and two children for 1 night before our flight home. The kids loved having some pool time and was nice to have loungers around the edge of the pool. The rooms were lovely and comfortable. Evening meal was great (but did feel sorry for the waiter as he was on his own). Breakfast was very nice and the kids said it's the best hotel breakfast that they have had!

Very supportive staff! Very relaxing environment! Good size (covered) swimming pool / jaccuzi!

The hotel is a small haven between the forest. Although somewhat difficult to arrive, the commodities immediately invite you into the forest and the hotel providing you a sense of calm and serenity. The room and cleaning of it was perfect, no issues whatsoever. All rooms are located with river view which makes it very beautiful to just stay in the balcony and enjoy. Breakfast is also included and filled with options that cater to every type of guest and for us, made every beginning of day pleasant and filled with food to start. A plus point is that it offered EV charging which made your trip to the hotel and surrounding cities essentially free improving the stay immensely. Definitely coming back in a near future!

We booked the Suite Panoramic for 5 nights and it did not disappoint! You will want to live in it! It is the very best view in the entire hotel. No pool or restaurant can exceed it though those views are also lovely. It also sits very close to the Adult Pool. Skip the unit with the pool and book this suite and enjoy the pool next door or your own large terrace. The staff is incredible. Super thoughtful, engaging, warm and knowledgeable. The concierge was incredibly helpful arranging many things in advance so we could dimply enjoy snd relax while we are here. The food and wine so lovely and they can easily accommodate plant-based eaters with tasty foods. Biodynamic wines also available and delicious. A very special place we are grateful to have visited. Highly Highly recommend!!

A beautiful hotel in a beautiful spot on the river. Two lovely restaurants plus a poolside bar with excellent service. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. Loved the rooftop pool and the indoor pool in the spa. Great spa too!

This hotel was simply perfect. It was elegant but modern and calmingly designed. The setting was spectacular with infinity pools overlooking the river and room views with expansive windows also overlooking the slowly meandering river. The restaurants were of the highest quality even for a vegetarian couple like us with great choice, ambiance, down to earthness despite the elegance, and just welcoming calming vibes. The spa was fantastic too with a great indoor pool, gym, massages, etc. We have not stayed at a hotel/spa before but this experience is totally worth it (and close to Porto to boot).

The whole complex is located in a very beautiful location in a bend of the Douro river, regardless where you are, in the Pool, restaurant, bar or your room the view is everywhere breathtaking. The 2 infinity pools blend in the scenery superbly. we surely will come back.

Beautiful location, great pools, lovely decor, food very good, pool bar and food good, staff very accommodating and friendly.

The pool was great we chose Suite with a private pool, the rooms were light, clean and comfortable. Jorge was very kind and accommodating making us feel very welcome!

Great location, clean and large room. The private pool was a nice add-on that the kids loved. Very welcoming staff.

Our apartment was very nice, clean, tidy, beautiful view from the top, swimming pool access - we didn´t use - it was not summer anymore but it was nice surprise to have this access, apartment is close to the beach - walking distance - 5 - 10 min, close to the local market - just accross the street, taxis are waiting just in front of the building, very helpful owner - Mr. Silva who takes care of his guests from their arrival to their departure - he was waiting for us at the airport, showed us local restaurants where to eat, showed us nice area where to make nice photos during the sun sets or sun rise, he whowed us the nearest beach that is very beautiful, quiet with some restaurants where it possible to eat and drink, peaceful places, Mr. Silva informed us about local transport possibilities, he is supportive, helpful, available on his mobile phone or whattsup - just in case his quests might need something, thank you very much for your kind help. Area is very safe, nice, clean, nice breakfast - free of charge - first morning just accross the road, Highly reccommended.

Suites O Foz is in a brilliant location, part of a beautiful area of Porto and super close to the beaches. The host is very friendly and helpful, and eager to help accommodate you however possible. The rooms are immaculately clean and there was a lovely cold bottle of water waiting for us on arrival, plus toiletries and tea making facilities. The hosts will wash your clothes and towels on request for no charge and hang them up for you to dry, and provide each guest with a breakfast voucher each day for the cafe across the road where you can have fresh juice, hot beverage and pastry/toastie of your choice. The icing on the cake is the roof top pool which is gently heated and provides a beautiful view of the Fox area and sunsets. The pool is perfect to relax in and the rooftop area has room for sun-loungers to sunbathe in peace without being overlooked by neighbouring buildings.

Aparment was clean and big. We can use swimming pool. The owner Jorge is very kind and helpful and we rally appreciate it. Perfect stay in Portugal - price,pool,close to the ocean. Thank you Portugal friends 💚❤️

If you are searching for a comfortable and clean accommodation near the Porto city center with lovely interior, don't look any further. The b&b is a short walk away from the main bridge, the wine cellars, the old town on the other side of the river. We had the big room with pool view and it was very nicely decorated, had a comfortable bed, nice bathroom, a very! comfy couch, TV with EN channels, a fridge and a kettle. All new and clean. A great choice for longer stays (we stayed for about 10 days). The pool is great too, located on a cozy terrace. The owners serve a breakfast menu in the morning including some pastry sweet and salty, ham, cheese, jam and fruit and freshly squeezed orange juice. They will prepare the beverage of your choice (types of coffee/tea). What we loved were the owners though. They are so friendly, helpful and patient. They really try to make your stay amazing. You have all the privacy you need but they are constantly approachable. I highly recommend staying at this place and would be happy to stay here again. Big thanks for the good care.

The outside space was amazing! We arrived on a hot Festival weekend in Porto (which surprised us as we hadn’t known beforehand about it!). The streets were fun and busy and having this outdoor space to sit and cool off and have our drinks in the pool was fantastic - and well needed. We were a group of 3 ladies on our bi-annual girls trip and the room was large, 1 sofa bed, 1 king for 2 of us to share. Loved the decor and great to have air conditioning in the hot evenings whilst getting ready. Bruno and his family were absolutely lovely and so welcoming. Brit I was always around to offer a guide of where to go, places to see, eat! Lovely basic continual breakfast - Sundays “Gods bread” (like coconut brioche/pan-atone) and the coffee were my favourite! The accommodation was close enough to everything in the city but far enough away to enjoy its space. Thank Bruno and family for help making our girls weekend fabulous!

We choose this place as it is in the quieter Gaia side, and a short walk to the Pon Luis bridge, also a few mins walk to the metro, the street is unsuspecting, the door is nearly grand, when you enter the building is cleverly refurbished using many old features, the room is comfortable, the shower is good, water and WiFi provided, the breakfast area is small and has many of the old refurbished features, breakfast is fresh and very fine, there is a small terrace with a pool ( used it previously not this time) a suntrap and shelter Hidden gem

Bruno the host gave some great recommendations of places/areas to visit, giving us a map & showing us as soon as we arrived. We could also safely leave our luggage until it was time to check in as our flight was an early one. Lovely decor & a real bonus to have a refreshing dip in the pool! Would definitely stay here again.

Great location, beautiful room with extremely comfy bed, pool was perfect after day of exploring the city and the whole property was beautifully designed and spotless. Bruno and his family were very nice with lots of local tips and always ready to answer questions. Really enjoyable and relaxing stay in Porto! Just what I needed. Will definitely come back.

The morning breakfast chefs outdid themselves daily. It was the highlight of our stay to start our day with their sweets and specialties! Location was great. Super neighborhood restaurants. Plunge pool was needed and refreshing after walking up hills all day!

The staff were personable, friendly, responsive and proactive. They were more than hospitable treating us like guest to their home. Lots of great locals’ recommendations from the breakfast staff as well of non-touristy things that were well worth checking out. Susan reached out prior to check in with all the necessary information to enable a seamless experience even advising us that we can leave our luggage and enjoy the amenities before our apartment was ready for check-in and after check out. There were additional offerings such as wine tasting and welcome wine / pasta De nata as well as popcorn! Our apartment had a private pool and outdoor dining areaas well which added to the oasis from the city life of Porto. The apartment had everything and more for a wonderful stay. It was very modern, quiet and surprisingly larger than expected. The location is great, lots of restaurant and bars nearby and walkable to all the main attractions. If you also need a hire car we can't recommend M.Cunha who have offices nearby and can drop the car to you (best car hire experience I've had to date, period). We would highly recommend and look forward to our next stay! Thank you!

We had an incredible stay at Canto de Luz and highly recommend it—especially for families traveling with little ones! The location is perfect: central yet on a quiet street, and we found Porto much more stroller-friendly than Lisbon. We could walk everywhere with ease. Our City Retreat suite on the ground floor was super convenient with our 17-month-old, offering plenty of space (including a long hallway for him to run around). The large pack ‘n play crib was perfect, and the floor-to-ceiling windows could be fully blacked out, making naps a breeze—for both baby and parents! Breakfast each morning was a highlight—delicious, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. They even provided baby cutlery and plates, which was such a nice touch. The bright, airy dining space with large windows overlooking the terrace made for a lovely start to the day. Though we couldn’t use the heated pool due to the weather, it was a great added feature. The staff was wonderful—Susan was always available via WhatsApp, and Joanna warmly greeted us each morning. They even provided milk for our baby when we arrived late and hadn’t had time to go to the grocery store. The small details, like a towel-warming rack, easy-to-use washer/dryer, intuitive lighting, and an incredibly comfortable bed, made our stay extra special. We absolutely loved our experience at Canto de Luz and would stay here again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Porto, especially families.

Breakfast was spot on - good range of menu choices; service was quick and friendly. The location was very good - easy walking distance for us (in our 60s and not super fit) to all the things we wanted to see. Nice pool area. The staff were very helpful and friendly, both before and during our stay. Our room/suite was spacious, comfortable and clean, with good facilities. Nice walk-in shower. Enjoyed the small patio for just us.

Location, clean, helpful staff, the little pool was a bonus. Breakfast was lovely but limited choice

The stay was absolutely fantastic. The property itself is stunning, with beautiful orchards and amazing views, and it is located very close to Porto (25 min drive or so). The villas are also very nice - they have a great private pool, and the interior have everything you need (i.e., good kitchen and appliances, AC, nice bathrooms). The host Sebastião was also an added bonus - he was so helpful and truly does want to make the guests’ stay as nice as possible. Would definitely recommend and if we make our way back to Porto we will be staying there

The location is close to Porto and other tourist locations but quiet, serene and has lovely views. You can take a local bus to Porto from the property gates or the host will organise a taxi if you don’t want to drive or park in Porto itself. The pool is natural water and in a lovely setting. Each house has a different viewpoint and benefits from the sun at different times of the day so your host could advise the most appropriate property. The water was refreshing but perfect for swimming in late September. There are local amenities including a bakery, restaurant and supermarket within a short drive. The bakery has croissants, and a cafe with crepes and pizza options. We also found an excellent bakery in Lever on the opposite side of the dam next to the cemetery. The supermarket has an excellent fish and meat counter. The river road is pretty to drive and has accessible swimming beaches on both sides of the Douro as another swimming alternative. The host is exuberant and on hand, checking in regularly as needed and providing local knowledge and sightseeing advice. The washing machine was useful although drying clothes may be more difficult out of season. Washing the towels mid week was helpful. Swim towels were provided. There was one insect plug-in charger; on reflection I would bring additional ones. The beds were very comfortable. We were grateful for the hospitality basket including bread, milk, fruit and homemade jam. It would be helpful to include butter.

The location was perfect. We wanted to stay outside of town and the villa was beautiful with a great view. Spotlessly clean with a well equipped kitchen and a host that was so welcoming and helpful. We went in March so the pool was chilly but we used it anyways! In spite of arriving hours earlier than planned, Sebastião handled it in stride and took us a on a tour of the local area and got us our welcome basket of fruit and other local food items. He answered our many questions that cropped up during the week. We had an issue with the smoke detector the first evening that Sebastião fixed promptly (he’s just up the hill!) And we made freshly squeezed orange juice from the trees on the property everyday!

Beautiful property in a wonderful location. Sebastião our host could not have done more for us. The pool was absolutely amazing and we loved sitting out on the terrace in the evening and enjoyed a couple of BBQs as well. The property feels very private. The property is very handily located for so many excursions. We rented a car (and so handy to have EV charging on site!) but there is a bus stop at the bottom of the drive to the property. We took a lovely trip to the beach (on Sebastião’s recommendation) and it was only 25 minutes drive away. A fantastic spot for a relaxing break!

We had a wonderful stay here in September. Sebastiao our host was incredible helpful, giving a quick introduction to the area, and then leaving us to get on with our holiday - but with help available should we need it. The location is great, easy to get into Porto and also quick to get onto the motorway to visit other places around (V Novo de Gaia, Braga, Aviero, the Douro Valley). The villa itself was clean and has everything you might need. The pool, terrace and view over the river are a delight.

This place was a dream. My wife and I stayed here for two nights with both of our families following our wedding (12 adults and 6 kids). It was like something out of a movie. Padel court, inside and outdoor pool. Sauna and steam room. And on the second night we paid extra for a chef-catered dinner (buffet which was amazing). The chef also helped with gluten free options for my celiac sister in law. 6 of us also had massages booked for the second day which were great. The only thing I wish, is that we could stay longer. We would love to stay here again. Hopefully next year. LOVED IT!!!

We were very lucky to book this stay last minute. Lots of dates are gone long in advance. We traveled as a family of three and really enjoyed every moment of ours stay. Hospitality is at the top level! Rui is very friendly and welcoming host. The Quinta is located in amazingly beautiful and picturesque place with nice views around. Do book the dinner, it was absolutely fabulous, the dinner exceeded our expectations and it is certainly worth the price asked. Lots of nice facilities, two pools, a sauna, a gym and a paddle tennis court and beautiful surroundings. We would like to come back! Thank you, Rui and your family.

What an amazing place to stay! The views over the valley and the Douro River are absolutely stunning. The hotel blends perfectly with its surroundings and offers great amenities, including a padel court, indoor and outdoor pools, a spa, and more. Everything is spotless and well-maintained, with great attention to detail. The hosts and staff were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway!

The Quinta de Cabanas is a beautifully renovated and extended stone house, with a stunning view of the Douro Valley. The owner made us so welcome and, when we asked, was happy to show us the before and after photos - what a superb construction project. The pool and paddle ball court wee both fantastic. The food, both dinner and breakfast, were delicious.

Great pace with great hosts, nice view of the Duro walley and peaceful location. My wife had a knee injury, so our host went to buy a crutch for her. If you want to relax far away from cities and tourist crowds, this is the pace! Good wines and perfect view of Duro walley. It was one of the best accomodation we ever had.

The property was clean, well equipped and organised. Very highly presentable and spacious. It was very comfortable for me and my family. The pool was great! Thank you for having us stay it was a pleasure and delight! Zita was always available for any questions we had. House was easy to find and it had everything needed close by.

It was an amazing/spacious house with a tasteful decor .the pool was warm which was a bonus for a night swim.

We love the property, impeccable clean, all very organized, nice staff, always ready to assist with anything. The village is adorable, the virgin beach is quiet and almost empty. Bakery and restaurants awesome!

Casa Passal was a perfect place for our reunion of 5 families of friends. The rooms are like 5-star hotel rooms, all of them have ensuite bathrooms and of very good quality. Host Ricardo was very thoughtful and helpful, the best concierge who organised our wine tour, and transport when we needed them. Liliana was always around when we needed anything and took care of all details. We all had such wonderful time and getting together after 8-10 years not seeing one another for some of us. We were there for a week and the children, big or small never ran out of ideas of games due to such big premise, swimming pool, a volleyball/basketball court, table tennis, they even played sardines hiding in brushes. And there are so many different places we could sit around to catch up and have a good old conversation. We were already talking about going back on the 3rd day of staying. Thank you Ricardo to make your villa such a lovely place to be.

Location was much closer to the train station, supermarkets, cafes, restaurant than expected. Breakfast was excellent and catered for everyone. Staff were very helpful and happy to fulfill any requests. The amenities kept the family of 16 ranging 3 generations entertained… pool, badminton, table tennis, basketball…. The large villa and extensive grounds allow space for everyone and a peaceful corner can be found if needed.

This was the absolute perfect place to spend a week with friends - we were 8 adults and 7 children. The host and his team have been extremely helpful and the communication was very smooth throughout the week.

lovely property, good price and breakfast included!

The house and the grounds were perfect for our family group. Very spacious and well equipped. Excellent breakfast. Our host Ricardo was welcoming, kind and very helpful. He responded quickly to questions. He was present but not intrusive. The children loved the stay as did we all.

The house is absolutely amazing. We went as a large group of friends - the communal areas were lovely, but there was also ample space for people to read quietly. There was so much to do on the property too. Beyond the swimming pool, we played darts, table football, pool, volleyball, went paddle boarding and for hikes. All the bedrooms were excellent with individual AC. The barbecue was also great. Overall the property is faultless and the hosts were extremely attentive and kind. Would recommend to everyone!

Lieber Daniel Der Aufenthalt war ruhig und erholsam! Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland Jana & Felix

Lovely rambling villa. Plenty of room for everyone. Pool and table tennis were great for the kids. Very welcome cake, jams and teas when we arrived. Carolina was most helpful. We would love to stay again. The location grew on us as we explored more. Close to Cete station - easy to get to Porto, Amarante, Duoro on the train.

the size and space and rustic charm of the property has everything you need for a big family/friends swimming pool was amazing/table tennis too and the fruit trees are a bonus. we loved the traditional farm house feel.

We had an amazing stay. The area and the house are beauriful, with one of the best views in the world. The host ,Sebastio, was super friendly and helpful and made sure that we will have the best experience. Our kids loved the place and we all can't wait to go there again.

El dueño de la Villa es encantador, muy atento, se tomo un tiempo a nuestra llegada para acompañarnos y enseñarnos dónde estaba el supermercado más próximo, la panadería y el restaurante. El entorno inmejorable y las villas preciosas. Un ambiente muy tranquilo, ideal para relajarse y disfrutar del campo. Seguro que volveremos.

Persönlicher und herzlicher Empfang durch den Besitzer. Wunderschöne Lage, idyllisch, ruhig. Sehr gepflegte Aussenanlage, auf die Umwelt bedacht. Gute Ausstattung der Wohn- und Aussenräume.

Lovely accommodation, location and host - Sebastião was great. Definitely would return.

The house was absolutely amazing! The pool was huge and there were enough Sun beds for everyone. The beds were very comfortable as well! Also, the dinner table outside was very big and cozy, with the lights and flowers above. Furthermore, there were lots of games available! Ping pong table, dart, card/board games etc. The inside of the house was beautiful and very cozy as well! Truly one of our best vacations ever because of this beautiful house en lovely contact person :)

Easy check-in and check-out, owner couldn't be friendlier even left a welcome basket for us. The house is very well equipped and very tastefully decorated. House was very cosy thanks to the pellets oven, fireplace and electrical heaters spread throughout the house.

Great location for walking around the center of Aviero. Beds were comfortable, hotel is nicely decorated, easy to navigate. The Breakfast is excellent with so many local choices. The spa and gym are nice to have. If you need a massage ask for Ana--she is amazing. The spa is lovely for an hour, too.

The rooms were comfortable, clean and modern, it was great. The breakfast was incredible, you had a lot of diversity and options. Overall a great stay for Aveiro, as it's a nice short walk to the most touristic and historical part of the city.

It was a beautiful place to stay. Location was superb. 10 minutes walk to the stunning town, where you see the colorful boats, restaurants, cafes, and shopping 🛍. All In all a great visit to your hotel. Would definitely use again

Great hotel with great facilities. The SPA is nice to have when you are on holiday. The staff was friendly and the room were clean and comfortable.

Beautiful hotel lovely spotless modern room and bathroom,no traffic noise, fantastic breakfast, selection brilliant,secure basement parking for motorcycles,great friendly staff, highly recommended.

Simply amazing staff! From beginning to end it was a fabulous stay. Hender & Antonio organised a little surprise for my friend a week before we arrived and made the entire process seamless and easy. Andre ensured to follow up before we arrived just to confirm and make sure all was in order for us on arrival. Exemplary hospitality! That’s not where it ended though. Mariana and Lígia (reception) made our stay feel like a home and recommended all the best places to visit (several times, oops), kept me company when my friend was unwell and spent time at the hotel reception (bar - oops again). Finally, I want to say a huge thank you to the bar staff that basically babysat me as I drove them crazy trying to speak Portuguese. They graciously humoured me with huge smiles on their faces. 😁 Thank you, Mariana, Ligia, Florencia x 2, Clara, Patricia, Magda and Andrea. Oh! The housekeeping staff also were so hospitable and kind. Love this hotel, love the beautiful staff and LOVE Porto. Muito obrigada 🤗

We arrived about 19:00, the staff was courteous, friendly and helpful during check in. She answered all my questions, pleasantly. The room was LARGE, clean, quiet. The king bed was VERY comfortable with good, fresh linens and very nice pillows. There was room to lay out our luggage, which was appreciated. The air conditioner kept the room at a comfortable temperature. The shower was beautiful and I do like a bidet! The free breakfast the next morning, included eggs, ham, fresh fruit, numerous bakery offerings and a few coffee choices. The breakfast staff greated us kindly and were very pleasant and cleared tables quickly when guests left. The tables/ chairs were comfortable and plenty of seating, so you weren't crammed next to other noisy guests. The breakfast was 5 stars. We visited the rooftop area by elevator for a wonderful high view of the city. It had plenty of seating to enjoy a drink or just the views.

The Avenue is a really great choice when visiting Porto. Good location, a 25 minute stroll to the centre, or around €3/€4 in a Bolt/Uber. All the staff are very friendly & extremely helpful, the hotel is modern, clean & has a good range of breakfast & lunch offerings. The bar area is a little small which was fine in March, but could get cramped in the summer. Standard rooms are very spacious & come with all the amenities you could want & expect from a 4* hotel. Beds are huge & very comfortable & the shower superb. Paper cups with the coffee machine were a tiny bit disappointing for a 4* hotel, but a very minor negative. All in all a great choice!

Maybe the most amazing hotel I have ever been to. The interior is very stylish, everything is new and it is super clean, which is the most important part. The bed is very comfortable. Even the standard rooms are really big and well equipped. The hotel is very close to supermarkets, restaurants, bars, metro, train station and the center as well, you can go to those places by walk, very good location. The staff is really friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend, hope to return back soon. Thank you for everything! :) <3 Best regards, Radoslava Petrova

Good location within walking distance of the centre. Rooms are comfortable and clean. We stayed during the power outage and the staff were excellent, despite having no power for about 10 hours. I could sense they were starting to feel a little concerned about the outage as it started to get darker but they maintained their professionalism, continued to be friendly and helpful, and were doing all they could to find food for the guests. A great job under a challenging time. Thanks for a wonderful stay. I’d highly recommend staying here!

This was a phenomenal hotel experience. Everything exceeded our expectations. Location was close enough to all of the major attractions and walking distance from the major shopping centers. We were able to easily take the train from the airport to the hotel without difficulty. The view of our apartment was fantastic. I have to say, their breakfast was top tier. It was a buffet with so many health conscious options - granola oat cereal blend with fiber forward options (goji berries, bran sticks, dried fruits) . Theres a multitude of freshly squeezed juice options (watermelon, orange juice, mango juice, peach, etc). Theres a huge selection of toasted bread, scrambled eggs, baked beans, etc etc). I was celebrating my anniversary with my boyfriend and they surprised us with a bottle of champagne and cookies. It was such an amazing surprise. We unfortunately were not able to drink most of it because we were so busy for most of the day, but we did have some and it was delicious!! Thank you so much!! (and this is to the hotel: so sorry we couldnt finish it!). I really cant complain. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting porto in a heartbeat. i would definitely be coming back here in the future.

A lovely, traditional style hotel with high ceilings and a gorgeous view from my 11th floor room. I booked a double but was upgraded to a king. I appreciated that my room was ready and I was able to check in early. It's always nice when the hotel can accommodate when your travel plans don't align with check-in times! Hotel Dom Henrique did not disappoint! They also have a magnificent bar on the 17th floor and a restaurant (reservations required) on the 18th, which I didn't try. The lobby was also a pleasant surprise with lots of comfortable seating. Breakfast had indoor and outdoor seating and lots of delicious options. Great-smelling amenities in the bath! Staff was helpful at every turn!!

Don’t be fooled by the run down surroundings. This is a gorgeous, luxury hotel without fault. The breakfast in particular is a stand out. Fresh varied options of hot and cold food with several fresh juices. But the cherry on this particular cake is the 17th floor. The chic lounge and restaurant with 360 degree view of the city skyline accompanied with two smallish terraces. And saving the best to last….. shout out to receptionist Danielle and Concierge Adrian who went begin helping me with a problem with my mobile to ensure I retrieved my boarding pass for my flight home. It is also ideally situated for the sights and the metro of Trindade. Don’t waste time searching other hotels, just book it!

The hotel is located in the central northern district approx 20 mins walk to the main attractions. The hotel reception and concierge staff are were very professional, helpful and polite. The hotel bar and main restaurant are located on the top, 17th, floor with views of the city. My room was a single and had a reasonable amount of space along with modern bathroom. Breakfast was available on the ground floor restaurant area and had a wide choice of food to cater for different tastes, including some hot food such as scrambled eggs, ham, bacon, as well as fruit, cereals and pastries. Would consider using this hotel again given high standards and helpful staff

Arrived at 9am on an early flight and easily stored our bags with front desk attendant who spoke multiple languages. Once we got in our room it was amazing: modern, comfy bed, fridge, great bathroom finishings, and so quiet. Basement pool was nice when not a lot of people there, but really noisy when a larger family descended on it! Pool area has sauna, exercise area, small number of large loungers. Pool area floor very slippery when wet. Hotel location good for walkers: about 30min walk to Campanha train/bus station and the same to the typical touristy areas of Porto (bridge, riverfront). We raved about the breakfast and were sad to leave it: a large assortment of hot/cold american/euro breakfast options, coffee machines, mimosa fixings; everything you could want and the attendants were so diligent on ensuring optimal cleanliness, stocking and presentation. Could not compliment the food or the staff enough in this regard. Hotel seemed to be good value, a lovely property if okay with a bit of a walk.

Indoor pool was amazingly clean and relaxing (quality of water in the pool, hygiene excellent). Alma at the reception along with other were professional and always helpful. Claudio at the bar was so kind. Ramon at the restaurant was always ready to help and also kind. The location is fantastic, and it really exceeded my expectations. I´d go back and highly recommend it. Breakfast was delicious and quality of the food was great! Had dinner on my last night and wish I had had more dinners there. I´m so pleased with my choice.

Te hotel close to everything but still quiet. Reception staff very friendly and helpful, I’ve forgotten names! Loved the pool and sauna and a well equipped gym. We had a lot of rain so it was perfect to be able to swim and have saunas and read by the pool. So relaxing. We also loved the restaurant, the staff made it even better. Great recommendations for wine and food and exceptional service by Claudio and Antonio. A great stay.

I recently stayed at BessaHotel Baixa and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is ideally located just steps away from Rua de Santa Catarina and Mercado do Bolhão, making it perfect for exploring Porto. The interior design is elegant and contemporary, and our room exceeded expectations in both comfort and style. The buffet breakfast was generous and offered a wide variety of options to suit every palate. One of the highlights was the indoor pool area, which provided a relaxing space to unwind after a day of sightseeing. What truly stood out was the exceptional service from the staff—especially Gabriel, who went out of his way to ensure every guest felt welcome and cared for. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Porto.

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The bed was nice and firm. The room was spacious. The staff was nice and accommodating. The breakfast was good with a nice variety. The pool and sauna was really nice giving you a nice spa feel. The location was great. There were stores, a shopping center, and restaurants within a short walking distance of the hotel. We walked every where even to the riverfront but we’re walkers. Comfortable shoes are essential . We didn’t use any public transportation, other than bolt to the train station to go to Lisbon. When we come back, we will definitely stay at this hotel.

O Rosalma Hostel cumpre com todas as informações descritas no anúncio. Localização perfeita, check-in s check-out práticos, quarto espaçoso, cama confortável com armário, luminária e cortinas individuais. Além disso, a decoração super criativa tornava os espaços coletivos ainda mais agradáveis. Outro diferencial refere-se experiência dos banheiros all gender que, para mim, foi super tranquila, tendo em vista que as cabines são reservadas. No seu interior, por exemplo, as cabines para banho (chuveiro) possuem fechaduras e são espaçosas, possibilitando se secar/trocar de roupa dentro delas. Por fim, e não menos importante, destaco a educação e a simpatia da equipe de recepcionistas (nota mil) l, agradeço especialmente a Lorena e Alessandra (as quais tive mais contato), pois ambas foram super solícitas e prestativas em me ajudar/orientar durante um "perrengue" de viagem para que tudo pudesse dar certo (e deu). Diante disso, super recomendo o Rosalma Hostel para a sua estadia na cidade do Porto.

1. The staff are so friendly and helpful. 2. The showering facilities are fabulous!! Large amount of water and very easy to adjust the temperature! Especially good for girls with long hair, as it has two showering thing, one high above and one lower. The lower one is excellent for people who only wants to shower the body! 3. The bed is amazing! Very good blackout of the light, very spacious room, and large beds! I think the beds are obviously much larger compared with other hostel. 4. Very clean. I left late so I saw how the cleaning team do the cleaning, they even sprayed and cleaned the small corner of the beds and banisters! 5. Excellent location. Right in the city centre with several nice cafes just downstairs, and very close to the Chapel of Soul.

I have stopped here while walking the Camino Portughese 💙 Everything was perfect and although I didn t plan, I decided to stay for 3 nights here, very friendly and helpful receptionists , comfortable beds in shared mixed dormitory with curtains and you have a lot of privacy ♥️ very clean, nice places to rest, very quiet and cosy , full equipped kitchen ❤️ Walking alone 👣 with my backpack 🎒: ➡️ Camino del Norte from Bayonne, France to Santiago ➡️ 2 days voluntary work at the albergue in Guemes ➡️ Camino Lebaniego, Saint Vincent de la Barquera - Cades - Cicera - Potes - Santo Toribio de Liébana Monastery ➡️ Camino Primitivo from Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela ➡️ Camino de Fisterra and Muxía -> from Compostela to Cape Finisterre ( Negreira- Oliveroa - Cee - Finistera) and from Finistera to Muxia ➡️ started Camino Portughese from Santiago de Compostela to Lisbon

Paulo at the reception was amazing with his different languages and personal attentuon to every guest❤️ I also loved the patio and feel pity i did not have much time to spend it there. Beds are like three levels and I had the highest one, but it was still okay, no inconveniences. Boxes for stuff are at the bed, which is very practical. Bathing rooms were clean all the time 👍🏼 and of course the decors and the ancient ceilings and stairs. really great place. close to the station Trinidad from where you may go everywhere. and quite close to the city centre.

The staff!!!! Paulo is amazing!!! The girls receptionists are also great, but Paulo is my favorite:)) The atmosphere there is amazing and the people. I've met a few friends there, we spent some time together in the other cities. Very well equipped kitchen! The central location, the metro is nearby, and a good grocery store Continente. I really loved a free robusta coffee in the morning:)) I felt safe as a solo female traveller. Also, if you have any question or issue they solve it in the best way. Thank you rosalma hostel team! You do your job great!
