Location was absolutely perfect, though access to it may seem a bit tricky. It is located on top of a mini Shopping Mall so plenty of options for meals are easily found.
Location is also pretty easy to locate if you are arriving via the Metro do Porto.
Breakfast was freshly done everyday with plenty of options to have for the first thing in the morning.
The Rooms were small yet they did their job correctly, one side note there was no water bottles in the room so youd have to buy one in the snack bar in the hotel lobby or to the supermarket outside the hotel.
The Staff was absolutely brilliant ready to help with any needs you may require.

Good place to stay in Porto

We had a really nice stay here. Good location with a shopping mall downstairs and metro stop out front.

Very easy to get to the river on the metro.

Big fail was no in room coffee but other then that very nice clean and comfortable despite the decor being stuck in the 90’s

All in all good experience and would stay here again

It is very good hotel location and very easy to get the train rstop to go the city center. My stay include my family and frineds are satisfied at the IBIS HOTEL. But I would like to suggest to the manager of this hotel that the shower booth should have the curtain or sliding door to prevent the water spread over or flood in the toilt. It is not convenience to do shower freely due to above reason.

The hotel is strategically located next to a train stop and a shopping center. If you are looking for a good-budget hotel, this might be your option. It's not in the center of the tourist areas, however, you can get to the touristy places in 10 minutes. The rooms are clean and spacious.

Good option out of the city center

Really good option outside of the city center, but with easy access there and to the tourist attractions nearby. Good public transportaion, it also offers parking in case you need it. Breakfast is charged apart, but worth paying for. The property is located in the top of a shopping mall, which makes easier for shopping or food.

After our first night, me and my partner started feeling a horrific itchiness. We checked the sheets but found nothing so assumed it was from a different wash we were using or something non related. However after our third night, we found blood spots on the bed sheets so decided to check the bedding - we were horrified to find what looked like a flea.
As we were already checking out we decided to mention this to the lady on the front desk specifying that we were not after any compensation we simply wanted to inform.
We also mentioned that during our 3 night stay our bedding was not once changed and at no point were we offered clean towels or room service. We were told that due to COVID-19 they would only clean our room if we requested it. However, surely especially due to the virus better cleanliness should be maintained to ensure everything is sanitised. Also we cannot request something we are not told is on offer. Overall I found the price we paid for the tiniest room without even space for a cot bed for our baby was not really worth it, and I’m now boiling all our clothes hoping we didn’t bring back any fleas or bedbugs.

An affordable, pleasant place to stay

This is an affordable, pleasant hotel outside of the city center. I chose it because it was down the street from a friend, but it was still very easy to navigate the city, because of the train station just outside it's doors. It is on top of a small shopping center which made it easy to grab snacks.

No concession consideeing I was taken ill & ended up in in Hosp for almost 3days in A&E .. 🙏 Just by dealing with duty management I found them to be very inflexible Though they promised to bring my case to IBIS the Manager refused to speak to me point blank when I was checking out leaving the delivery of bad news to her junior colleagues - even though I could clearly see her in the next room - she totally blanked and dismissed me . Very rude and disappointing aprroach after a week long stay. I requested a small fridge from r meds in my room . It wasn’t provided and each day morning and eve I had to approach staff wait and go to oublic facilities to administer my meds. This is for me humiliating ! From r a lesser fee in a similar style Ibis in Wroclaw they facilitated my request in this regard honorably . Lacking in sensitivity is my appraisal of the tough manager - Lady -. Other staff esp the young Barman and one special lady with waves and curls at reception reception were courteous considerate and kind. Credit where credit is due . But the Top of the pencil needs pairing .

Great hotel overall!

Hotel was situated in a great location-close to the centre by metro. The breakfast was very good, the room was clean, and the parking was good as well. The only aspect that could be improved is that the parking lot closes from 12am to 7:30pm, so if you need to leave early in the morning you’re stuck.

Excellent value for money and great location.

We stayed 4 nights here in early May and were very satisfied with our choice. The free outside parking at the hotel, easy access to the metro for a short journey into the city centre, and easy access to main roads and highways, were big influences on our choice and all worked well. Being located above a shopping centre with a supermarket and numerous places to eat at reasonable prices were also big pluses. The staff were very helpful and the room was clean and comfortable and big enough. We did not have only hotel meals so can not comment on that aspect. Wifi was free and worked well. Finding the entrance for cars, which is up a driveway shared with the neighbouring hospital was a bit tricky on arrival, especiallly at the driveway where the sign was in red and not very noticeable whereas the numerous signs on the mainly one way streets were prominent and blue. Overall highly recommended, especially for anyone with a car and seeking value for money.

This hotel is a bit far from the center of town, but it is easy to ride the subway and the price was right. It is near a university and you get a feel for student life because the subway stop is so close to the hotel. (The students were helpful to us in getting the subway tickets back into town). It is an above ground subway stop so it is very EASY. The hotel is on the 3rd and up floors. You have excellent access to food because there is a grocery store, dry cleaners, cell phone shops, etc.. on the first floor and a nice food court on the 2nd floor. We liked staying there!!

Nice hotel, terrible check in service.

Nice quiet location & usual good IBIS room standard with exceptional bed comfort.

Terrible check in service. Firstly, she needlessly folded my passport back through 360degrees, creating a completely new crease line. If every hotel treated customers passports with so little respect, the passports would fall apart within the 10 year lifetime.
Then I was asked for payment at £50 above the reservation rate. The second attempt was £20 above the reservation rate. At the third attempt, I was finally asked for payment at the booked rate. What a contrast to the polite efficiency at the Ibis hotel used the previous night.

The shower in the bathroom might benefit from seeing some bleach occasionally, but overall cleanliness was acceptable.

Lovely staff, not much to enjoy locally.....

Lovely clean hotel with friendly helpful staff but you must enjoy being around students - you go by hundreds of them at certain times of the day as you meander your way through the shopping mall food court to get to the hotel. The advantage of this is that there is a great grocery store on the lower level if you don't mind eating in your room. Unfortunately there are no nearby local restaurants so we missed out on local cuisine every evening. The location of the hotel -removed from the downtown- is very easily accessible on the metro line. The cab for four of us with luggage to the airport was 29 euros and the friendly hotel staff arranged it for us. The continental breakfast is good but pricey (unless you're starving) so we ate it at a nice cafe style at the end of the food court, beside the Macdonalds - which is also open for breakfast.

Ease of access to Metro and airport

Location of hotel is not central BUT the metro is very close by hence easy access into the city area. Located next to small shopping centre with supermarket and food court. Very basic amenities provided. Was told to go to supermarket to buy a disposable razor when I asked if the hotel could provide me with one. This really took me by surprise. Hotel parking is only accessible till midnight, meaning you need to be back at the hotel by midnight or you will have to pay for paying at the shopping centre or the street parking.

Only provided with 2 bath towels on Day 1 and on Day 2 they remember to give us the floor mat. No other towels is provided.

Reception staff is very cold but the staff at the breakfast area is efficient and friendly.
