Hotel Spot Family Suites

I have lived & worked all over the world, staying in countless hotels, so I rarely take the time &/or effort to write reviews, ( I think I have only done 3 in 20 years), but this hotel most definitely deserves an excellent review & more. It was like finding a hidden diamond. I have stayed in 4 & 5 star hotels in Porto itself before & none compared to this. The staff were all, not only helpful, polite & professional, but incredibly attentive. We arrived very early & so left our bags whilst we went sightseeing, but in return to check into the room, our bags had already been taken to the room. A small thing perhaps but something very few hotels do & a sign of their attention to detail & guest comfort The room itself had one of the most comfortable beds I have slept in, in years. & the room was exceptionally clean. Breakfast was good, & really for the price the hotel far exceeded my expectations, (& I am quite fussy.) The location was great, easy walking distance to the seafront & historic centre, but far enough away to be quiet at night.The local market is only 5 minutes away & lots of shops (,of all kind from souvenir to high end clothes shops), as well as historic buildings, churches etc with 5 minutes walk. Also easy 10 minute walk from the main Trindade station (although if you have large suitcases & not cabin bags you might be better to get a taxi as the walk is slightly uphill & the ancient pavements can be difficult to manoeuvre cases (even with wheels,) over. I cannot recommend the hotel highly enough & if you can I would say to try & stretch to a room with an outside terrace, a lovely place to spend an hour resting in the sun with a glass of wine, in peace & quiet. Anyway if you stay here you can be sure to have the foundation of an excellent time in Porto. & Certainly given the effort all the staff put in, they should be rewarded with a fully booked hotel.

Hotel is in a very good location, you can walk everywhere in the old part of town. There are many restaurants near by, we visited few on the street behind the hotel. Breakfast is quite ok, if you stay two-three nights: scrambled eggs, sauseges, chopped tomatoes, bread, cheese, ham, yoghurts and pastries like pastel del nata and good coffee selection from machine. Stuff is very helpful and friendly. Room was spacious, shower nice and we had also quite big balcony. Enaugh sockets near the bed to charge your phone, watch and other stuff.

We had an amazing staying at Hotel Spot and everything was good, the breakfast very well furbished and also the rooms were very clean. Right in the center of Porto, in a few minutes you're in midtown, near a metro station, near the bolhao market.

The room size was decent, however the two “sides” were divided by a curtain. The place was a little crowded with 2 parents and two teenagers. The breakfast was good enough, lots of choices, the parking was very handy, the staff were friendly. Oh, and we found the best meat restaurant just one block away.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were able to securely store our luggage at the hotel while waiting to check-in and staff at the front desk provided a map and recommendations for nearby shopping, transportation and cafes. The hotel is in a great location, only a few mins walk to Rua da Santa Cantarina;10 mins to Porto University and Lello Bookstore and 20 mins to the Ribeirra district. The rooms are clean and modern and we enjoyed the free breakfast which included both hot and cold items plus tea/coffee/juice.
