Vinha Boutique Hotel

Worst experience in Porto

Reviewed By Voyage07474369384

We stayed at other 5* hotel in Porto, and wanted to experience a nice Spa. In our hotel there was only heated swimming pool and sauna, and we wanted a jacuzzi. We searched for the most expensive hotel and found this one - called them and heated they have a vitality pool which is a jacuzzi- and a Turkish hammam. They asked for 35€ for 90 minutes which was 300% more expensive than other hotel we checked and from our hotel, but we went for it anyway. When arrived they mentioned we have to be with. A swimming cap (2 guys with very short hair and 1 which is bald!) they asked all of us to buy from them a 5€ cap in addition. So it’s a 40€ experience. The bald guy bought a cap, and my other friend who has more hair on the face than the head. And to add to all of that - the vitality pool and the hammam - wasn’t working!! Half of their facilities (the reason we came in the first place) wasn’t working, and still charged a full price, we already made the reservation and the trip, so 2 of my friends came in and I stayed at the lobby waiting, because I knew it wasn’t worth the price + the cost for the swimming cap + half of the facilities not working. Won’t go anywhere near this place again, and would definitely won’t recommend.

Istudios Boutique Bed & Breakfast

Great location but very budget accommodation

Reviewed By Elke M

This was very good budget accommodation in a fantastic location. It was hard to find the place initially and we ended up being met outside by the manager who arrived just after us (there is no reception so he comes to the place to check people in). The manager was very friendly and provided a lot of tips for the city. The room was smaller than we thought as we thought we had booked a room that could accommodate 5 people but only had a queen size bed - lucky there was only two of us! We had a nice terrace with views over to a major train station and the bathroom was a good size. It says there is free parking nearby but we had to just park on the street (in a no parking area but we were assured we wouldn’t get a ticket - we didn’t). The train station was right across the road, which made transport easy. The rooms were quiet so we slept well. We didn’t have any hand soap and there is body wash but no shampoo or conditioner. Good on a budget. No option for breakfast. No elevator so had to carry very heavy bags up two flights of stairs. Good wifi.
