The location of PipaD'Oro is fantastic, right at the heart of the historical center, yet quiet, Walking distance to Duoro river, close to shops, cafes, restaurants. The pool is small but cozy, with amazing views over Porto. The breakfast was delivered to the room every morning and it significantly exceeded our expectations. Loads of food, fresh, tasty, all you might need and want and more. Just great! Last, but not least, the staff was fantastic, accommodating, nothing was of a problem, everyone very polite, with a lot of local knowledge, sort of calm, unassuming hospitality. Special shout out to Nicolau and Diogo, we had amazing time, thank you!

I had to think very hard to put any comment here and the only one I can think of is lack of chairs at the balcony. that's all. didn't bother us too much but would be a nice addition to have a small table and chairs outside.

The hotel was beautiful. The staff, reception area and views from the room, with the Pool area being the best of the lot. Lovely to come back to on a hot afternoon for some relaxation after a day exploring the city. Staff couldn't be more helpful. Rooms are big, clean, safe and quiet. Would recommend to anyone and would definitely stay here again. Close to some really nice restaurants, and very close to other parts of the city.

The sofa bed. The only thing stopping us giving this a 10 rating was the sofa bed (for my 13 year-old daughter). This really needs replacing in the room we stayed in. It was impossible to sleep on. Noisy/creaky whenever you moved, and the springs/poles sticking through the mattress. She couldn't sleep which meant I had to on the last night, resulting in little sleep for myself. A Shame because the rest of the hotel is gorgeous, and it would have been a 10 if there was only 2 of us and not needing the sofa bed.

Nic was extremely friendly, informative and helpful throughout our stay. The interiors of the property were finished to a high finish throughout. Apartment had a calm relaxed, quiet atmosphere. Amazing location in the old town, lots of attractions and amenities a short walk away.

The exterior areas were shabby compared to the high finish of the interiors. The pool areas needed a revamp. The "Garden" that our apartment had access to was abysmal. All of the furniture needs to be replaced. Our apartment was not in the main building where the pool was, it was across the road. I don't think it was advertised as this.

Helpful and friendly staff. Apartment was large and very clean. Advertised amenities were mostly present. Very good location. Breakfast was delivered every morning and was very good. We enjoyed our stay very much.

One suggestion would be to include some type of wardrobe or shelving unit so suitcases could be unpacked. That may not be necessary for a short stay but certainly would be for a longer one. There was plenty of space in the room where a storage unit could have been placed. Also, from the room description, we believed we would have a balcony, but instead there was a small patio that was too small to sit on. Perhaps, the room description could be a bit clearer in reference to that aspect. Still we enjoyed a beautiful view of Porto by opening the patio doors and placing our chairs in front of them.

Perfect location with great view from the room window or the Pool Terrasse to the river and the famous steel bridge. Super nice hotel staff and the pool was great to cool down after the challenging up- and downhill city walks.

At our balcony was a hot air stream coming out from a chimney, so the most of the time you couldn‘t use the balcony which was pretty sad. This is neither mentioned in the room description nor were we informed by the hotel staff. The water tank from the coffee machine had mold which was switched immediately after a short cleaning room staff conversation.

Great location near just about everything. Surprisingly quiet and great views of the city from our balcony. Shower has nice water pressure. Keyless entry is a bonus. Staff were very friendly and responsive.

The WiFi was fairly unusable, and certainly not suitable for a virtual meeting. I could barely check my email. The room itself was comfortable but is in need of a few repairs to the floorboards. Stay here if you’re looking for a comfortable budget option walkable to everything, but stay elsewhere if you need internet connectivity.

This is a very well located apartment, easy walk to many attractions/sights. Code access out of hours was very easy. The pool area and the view from our apartment were fantastic. There was enough room on our balcony for two chairs, which isn't the case for all apartments I don't think. While much of the process is virtual, during reception hours there is always someone there and the two hosts we met were friendly and helpful, without being overbearing. We were able to store our luggage in their sight and to relax by the pool on check out day. This isn't a cheap option, but we were very glad we went for it as it was a highlight of our holiday and therefore we felt it was value for money.

Next to the balcony is a plant room with a louvre door. Heat escapes from this louvre some of the time, albeit it tended to be off when I wanted to sit outside in the sun and helped with drying swimwear! Something to note is that the apartment is divided to separate the sitting area/sofa bed kitchen and the area where the double bed is. There is no wall or door to the bed area, it is effectively a large partitioned studio. This was fine for us, because we travelled as a family, but if you travelled with friends or older family it is something to bear in mind both for changing and for different bed times. Could do with a full length mirror.

The apartment was spotless. We were met at the entrance to the apartments and he helped us take our luggage to the room. We then went to reception to check in and he gave us all the info and a map of the city. He then told us where to park the car for the whole of our stay. Which was safe and secure and at a discount as it was through the accommodation. The apartment was clean and spacious. It was touch coded pad which is ideal-no need to carry a key around. The pool and surrounding area was lovely to relax in. We didn't eat here. We had no faults and would highly recommend.

The apartment was well located in the centre of Porto, cleaned every day which we didn’t expect and had all the facilities for a 5 day stay. The outside terrace was very spacious and nice

Unfortunately we did have a cockroach in the bathroom maybe because we were the garden apartment. We were also awakened in the middle of the night by a leak of hot water pouring down from an apartment two floors up. It was after staff had left and unfortunately there was no one to deal with it. The property would benefit by an emergency number should anything similar occur in the future but all in all a lovely apartment and very good value

Good size 1 bedroom apartment. Newly renovated. It's part of the hotel or an annex of the hotel opposite of the apartment building. Daily housekeeping available. Access to all facilities of the hotel. Comfy double bed. Good walk-in shower. Open kitchen has all amenities for self-catering. Digital code locks for entry, but reception will explain and guide you at first arrival. Fast WiFi (300+/300+Mbps). Plenty of daylight coming in from windows. But wooden window blinds/panels can sufficiently darken the rooms. Pretty quiet street with occasional traffic, despite being in city centre. Very close to a major view point. Walking distance to all major sights, though it can be hilly on the narrow old town streets sometimes.

Apartment gets very cold in this time of the year, if airconditioning is not switched on continuously, when present. No heating in the bathroom and cold floor tiles. Because of the creaking wooden floors, you can hear guests upstairs walking sometimes. But not too bothersome and adds to the local atmosphere. There's construction going on next door, but noise is limited and only in the afternoon. Apartment not suited for people not able to walk stairs. Elevator only on 1st floor. Late check-out only till noon latest. Housekeeping rang doorbell at 12.01pm.
