Hotel da Bolsa  

The staff were very friendly. The location is great. The air conditioning worked which is not always the case with some hotels.

No secure place to store bags when the room is not ready. They were left beside a public entrance to the bar.

Fantastic and very helpful staff, perfect location beautiful views...

The location was excellent for my travel, the breakfast was very good, the bathroom was good too, the staff was friendly, elevators, simple room enough for what we wanted.

The staff at the front desk were wonderful and spoke excellent English, even better than most Americans. The location is close to the river and yet within easy walking distance to the cathedral and other activities within the central city. Hop On/Hop Off transportation is available to see all the sights and stop #1 is an easy 2 block walk from the hotel.

The only negative is the size of the room. It is very small, and for a couple staying together, there is little room to walk around. We stayed there five nights but got use to the compact space after awhile.

I would class the Bolsa as a 2 star hotel

location, location, lopcation.

poor breakfest.

Older hotel, but nice big room and newly renovated(?) bathroom. Excellent location close to Ribeira, river, bridge dom Luiz, Gaia, shoppingstreet etc. Also close to the first stop of the hop-on-hop-off buses(which are excellent also). Pastelaria and farmacia in same street. Streetview from our room, absolutely no noise because of isolated windows. Windows could be opened. Breakfast: GOOD cofee, hot milk. Sweets and white bread. Ham, cheese and fresh orangejuice. :-) Free(30 min) internet-computer in the lobby, helpful and englishspeaking staff. Bar with big tv(usually on sports channel) on ground floor.

Impressed by the cleanliness of the hotel and dining area. Excellent breakfast with efficient and friendly staff.Hotel Bolsa is excellently positioned with easy access to bars,restaurants and cultural places to visit.

The location is very good for exploring interesting areas of Porto and easy stroll to the river side where many interesting events taking place and most of the restaurants are situated. The staff is helpful and polite as you would expect but nothing exceptional. The breakfast is included and very basic. One good touch is that you can squeeze your own orange juice! Everything was ver very clean. We had a pleasant view of the river from our window. Our room was 6 floors up and we had no problem with noise. Room had air conditioning.

The room was rather small. The attached shower/toilet really tiny. You can not close the door if the seat is down! The breakfast room is very small and cramped. We paid 90 euro per night but I think for what we got it should not have been more than 60 euro per night. They get away with this high price because of their location.

Location was perfect for accessing both sides of the river and all tourist facilities. We had a spacious and well appointed room but had requested a room away from the lift and on a higher floor so ended up with a corner room which was two rooms that they had turned into one. It really was very good. Breakfast was typical European and was more than adequate. Wifi did not always work and staff were not able to help. I would certainly stay here again.

This hotel is very well located for the Ribeira area of Porto which was our reason for choosing it. The staff were very helpful. The discounted parking in a nearby public car park was a great saving on the daily rate.

The hotel is a conversion of an old building and extra floors have been squeezed in. Windows in our room extended from the floor to waist height - it was gloomy. They also opened to floor level which would be a real safety concern for children. The shower in the tiny bathroom hardly worked. Breakfast in the small breakfast room was the worst we encountered in Portugal. There was no wifi in the room as advertised. Poor value for money at €90.

Staff were very friendly and helpfull. Good location. Breakfast good.

Breakfast room to small. Had to stand around waiting for a table. Not ideal if you are in a hurry.

We loved staying at Hotel da bolsa, it was close to the rebiera were all the restaurants are, the rooms are fantasic, great size and the beds are really comfy, we also had a lovely view of the river room 306, breakfast is great for Euope and they are very helpfull, with sight seeing, its a great place to stay, we would stay there again,you can also pay 10 euro a day for there car parking, and there is wifi, and the red bus tours leave only 50meters away and you can buy tickets from hotel.
