Vera Cruz Porto Downtown Hotel

위치 정말 좋고 친절하고 저렴해서 좋아요. 조금 낡긴 했지만 가성비 최고 입니다. 공항가는 철도도 가깝고 포르투 시내 여행이 모두 도버로 가능하고 바로 옆에 줄서서 먹는 식당도 있어요~

Fabulous greeting from Lucas, he was so helpful. The room was clean and functional. The location is perfect for the main part of the city. The shower temp could do with being a little warmer but everything else was perfect. Thanks again Lucas you made our stay wonderful and trouble free!

The longer I stayed, the more my opinion of the hotel changed! My first impressions were that this was an average, budget hotel: a small room with a small double bed, old fashioned furniture, tiny shower cubicle, no fridge, kettle or bottled water and a waste bin that still had someone’s trash in it. BUT… the room was otherwise clean and functional and the ladies on reception were amazing and the friendliest people ever. They spoke fantastic English and greeted me by name every time I left or came back (you have to leave your room key with them). They provided a map and advice on where to go and offered to arrange a taxi when I left etc. You are asked what time you want breakfast when you check in which is a bit odd, but the breakfast room on the 9th floor is small so breakfast times have to be staggered. There is a rope cordon across the entrance to stop people going in (not very welcoming). Breakfast was simple but adequate. The hotel is less than 5 minutes’ walk from Trindade station (if you’re coming from the airport) and in a side street opposite the city hall and the Porto sign. It’s 10-15 minutes to walk downhill to most of the sights and down to the river. The main road is noisy with cars and buses rumbling all night so you might have difficulty sleeping with the window open if you have a front facing balcony room. The walls are thin, so you can hear people talking in the next rooms. However, I really enjoyed my stay as a solo traveller and for 90 Euros a night (including breakfast), this was good value for Porto.
