Palace Hotel & Spa - Termas de Sao Vicente

Palace hotel Porto A very old and tired hotel. Room had not been aired for a long time so smelled damp and musty - I had to open the window as soon as I entered the room. Old furniture, old and dilapidated bathroom / shower. Span and gym not available. Swimming pool available but costs €18 for a swim! I dont expect to pay as a guest of the hotel. Breakfast OK - coffee cold.

2.5 stars would probably be fair. My room was missing the fridge, there was an empty hole in the unit where it should have been. A couple of the lights in the room weren't working, and the bath surface was flaking off and the safe didn't work. In general it just felt a little run down and in need of a little tlc, The beds were comfortable and clean. The staff that were available were very friendly and helpful, although there was a definite lack of them. Breakfast & Dinner are buffet affairs, nothing special, but plentiful choice and amounts.

I traveled a lot in my live , don’t choose this!!! If you don’t speak English please translate as it is important for you! traveled a lot in my live, don’t choose this place! I booked two night’s and prepaid This place is a complete joke referring to the „4 Stars category“ Physical: We received a room with bathroom in unacceptable condition. Any joint/connection done with silicon was full of mold! We complained and got a different room. This room was generally in same size and condition and “lucky” the bathroom was only 90% as bad like the room before. Managing: Portugal is well known for their “Galao”, which is more or less similar to Italian “Latte Machiato” As we have seen a professional espresso coffee machine, my wife an me got the cheekynes to ask for such Galao. The waitress explained that on the breakfast buffet is the cattle with instant coffee and the milk is beside. “They do not serve any extras” Ok, we got the information , took our coffees and went to our tables. 2 min later different girl from staff comes, started the espresso machine, prepare here self a “Galao” I asked kindly whether it’s possible to get one as well. The girl said that I have to pay extra. We left this “Installation ” immediately To all who will read this: Physically this place is over its time. Setup remind you of the 60’s Managed like an old communist hostal

Hotel was a good location for a wedding venue we were attending, although not much around the area. The breakfast was not very nice, and there were no snacks or food available for people arriving late in the evening. The beds were very comfortable, however there were stains in the bathrooms and communal areas were quite shabby. When walking down some stairs to the pool, they were crumbling beneath my parents feet. It is extremely expensive to get into Porto unless you want to take a 2.5 hour bus.

Excelente estadia, gostamos de tudo, spa, quartos, limpeza, jogos, pequeno almoço segurança e funcionários (muito bem preparados). Hotel bem localizado e com bons acessos. Região simpática e com boa gastronomia. Seguramente que iremos repetir.

Parou no tempo. Massagistas pareciam estar atrasadas para o expresso do Oriente. Senti-me um frango a ser virado no espeto e no final desapareceram (parecia que tinham medo do feedback). Piscinas com 50% jatos avariados. Tudo a cair aos bocados. Quarto do tempo de Afonso Henriques. Vidro da banheira com silicone “dependurados”. Colchão sem estrutura base que acomodasse peso do corpo. Almofadas que pareciam ter andado na guerra e já nem se aguentavam na força da gravidade. Uma manta para 2 pessoas que já tinham sido usada por uma infantaria inteira em plena campanha de guerra. Luzes do corredor que piscam, parece Natal. Pior comida de toda a minha vida. Sem alma. Sem brio (tal como o atendimento). Pato confirmado nem tostado estava, aliás, estaria cozinhado? Era rosa néon, pode ser tendência… batatas secas… entradas secas, folhado de cena com acompanhamento de azeitonas. Continuo à espera que alguém diga: Corta! Isto era para os apanhados.
