Beta Porto / Residencial

( 4 stars , Porto , Portugal )

A party of eight of us stayed here for four nights and we were very pleased with the hotel. The breakfasts were very good and the evening meal we had one time was excellent. The biggest problem was the distance to the city centre, quite a long way and Porto is very hilly. The buses, however, stopped right outside the hotel and cost one euro forty-five cents to the centre. Taxis arrived within minuets and cost six euros. On the whole very difficult to fault this hotel.

+ Busstop directly to the city centre. Slightly longer walk to a busstop directly to the beach. - Pool and restaurant staff don't speak English (but are extremely friendly, and try to communicate when you ask them questions. Not a problem really.

Good value for money hotel. Beware that when driving in Porto it is very easy to get lost and road signs are often lacking. Stick to the main roads as much as possible or use sat nav. Tip: if you need to know where you are in Porto find a bus stop where there is usually the name of the stop shown and a large city plan on which you should be able to identify your location.

Helpful staff, clean and comfortable hotel. few minutes from city center is not true, but there is a direct bus connection.

A fair way out of Porto but easy access as the bus stop located 100m from the hotel. The bus also stops at Hospital san Jaoa which has lots of bus and metro connections. Good breakfast. Has swiiming pool etc but too busy to try those facilities.

Rooms were clean and spacious. The rooms at the streetside were not that quiet because of the busy road in front. Location is somewhat out of the centre, but bus 600 just around the corner)takes you downtown within 20 minutes. The temperature in the swimmingpool made it feel like a sauna. And don't forget your bathing cap!

Website pictures give a false impression. Hotel needs remodeling and to improve its appearance

Good place if you have a car better to eat out.

+ Swimming pool and quiet location. Not too far to walk from the metro station as bus service from outside at certain times was not all that frequent into the centre. - The swimming pool area was a bit dated. No showers or toilets in the changing rooms.

I AND MY GIRLFRIEND ORI ARE NOT VERY SATISFACTED.THE PRICE IS OK BUT QUALITY IS VERY POOR.ROOMS ARE POOR AND HOTEL IS 4*, BUT NOT REALLY!!EMPLOYEES ARE VERY NICE AND VERY EFFICIENT!HOTEL IS SITUATED IN FRONT OF BUS STOP SO YOU'LL CAN GO TO THE CENTRE WITH BUS N.600 WITH 10 MINUTS.PLEASE RESTYLING THE HOTEL,SO YOUR GUESTS WILL BE VERY HAPPY.
