Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Portobay Flores, situated in the heart of Porto, occupies a beautifully renovated historic building, placing guests within walking distance of attractions like the São Bento Train station and the Douro River. Many appreciate the spacious and immaculate rooms, some overlooking the courtyard with a cathedral view, complete with luxurious bathroom products and excellent showers, including both rain and regular options. The breakfast receives high marks for its wonderful array of buffet options and made-to-order hot dishes, while the Bistro offers delicious meals; some guests, however, have noted that the outdoor spaces are limited to seating in front of the hotel and a courtyard. With its blend of modern and classic design, it's a fantastic choice for exploring Porto.

pool size coffee pods

I was somewhat disappointed by the spa. The "pool" needs jacuzzi jets or thermal taps , as it isn't really suited for swimming. The steam room also needs an activation button. These small additions could elevate the spa to a true five-star experience. Also , two complimentary coffee pods daily felt a bit stingy for this kind of hotel.

The hotel's location was convenient, allowing easy exploration of the city by foot.

My room's shower drain emitted a terrible smell, a problem I assume resulted from years without cleaning ( disgusting!).
