    Leaving the highway and finding the right entrance to the hotel was very confusing and we had to drive in circles many times, since we missed it very often. But once we were there, eveything was perfect. The public transport situation is very confusing. There are two busstops directly on the highway which are very hard to reach (which I've never seen). But there is a bus which goes to the music house in Porto. Just ask the emplyees and they will show you where to go. Still, we decided to go by car (which isn't always the best solution in Porto), because the bus situation was already complicated enough (especially during the weekend). Ibis could improve their toilet paper sitution, which feels like blank writing paper.

    The employees were very friendly and helped immediately with everything I wanted to know and asked. The room is very basic (like Ibis Budget generally is), but perfect just to have a room for a night. We came back to the hotel after we were at a freezing and raining festival. The hot shower and the bed were a dream after the freezing situation before. Parking is also fantastic. When the parking lot is full, you just park in one of the other parking lots from the other hotels and give the ticket to the reception to validate.

    Nothing as it was the basic accomodation we needed for one night before our return flight back home.

    Convenient location due to proximity to the motorway for early morning travel to the airport. It was also a convenient taxi journey away to the city centre which we enjoyed visiting before our return flight. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the free little easter eggs available on reception :)

    See above. Problem not laid at Ibis door.

    Helpfulness of Ines the kind receptionist could not be better. Though very basic, the room suited my overnight needs well. Minor problem over charging by Booking.com, being almost 20 euros above the actual on the day price as checked in situ.

    The location is not the best. Already knew that when I chose but I didn't know I should walk 1km to get the bus that take me to Porto. There is a bus stop 150m from the hotel, but the bus that you need to take to go to Porto doesn't stop on that one. Or you can rent a car. I did that, but car and the old thin streets of Porto doesn't match, so you definitely should explore the city by public transport.

    The breakfast is by far the best this property has to offer, it has so many good options, even small pastel de Belém that are comparable with the original one. Also the staff is super friendly, specially the night receptionist. Has free parking space.

    The location. If you are staying in Porto for a short period of time you may spend a lot of time commuting to the tourist heart of the city.
