Yotel Porto

When you are on a tour you sleep and eat breakfast here. It was nice to see this type of hotel which I would say was a self serve experience. Rooms were efficient - things I missed were face cloths and fresh air. Staff were accommodating and provided information when asked. Best breakfast - it had both fruit and veg and great coffees. Activities were all downhill and walkable from here. Well located to transit. Had dinner one night and the food was fine. There is a small lounge on the main floor and a gym.

Location is good, walking distance to tourist destinations. Room is clean but design weird, eg the LED light make you can't sleep even turn off, shower place have no where to put your clean clothes…

Check in was easy and the staff was friendly. If you speak English they are able to easily assist you. My issue is mainly with the room and the lighting. Whoever cleaned the room did a minimal job as the bathroom smelled like piss and there was urine all over the seat. There is no separate area for the bathroom. I also booked my room for two people but the bed was so small and uncomfortable. I’m 5ft and my partner is 5’9 so if you’re tall or need extra space, go somewhere else. The lights were annoying because the mirror light faces the bed and you can’t turn off the light. The mood lighting cannot be adjusted to be anything other than a color or which after a while, it gets annoying. Thankfully the noise wasn’t bad. The elevator is also super tiny and slow which makes it a headache to get in/out. The morning breakfast was also pretty sad. They charge you 19 euros for basic cold buffet food. A lot of places don’t open early so plan ahead if you can.
