Great location however….

While the hotel had an appealing aesthetic and I chose it for its competitive pricing and positive ratings on Expedia, my experience took a turn for the worse toward the end of our vacation. On the second to last day, I discovered a bedbug in one of the rooms, and upon inspecting the mattress, I noticed unsightly stains that were quite off-putting. After further research on Google, I found multiple reviews indicating that this hotel has been struggling with a bedbug problem since 2024. Given this concerning information, it's clear that the hotel should implement a thorough fumigation process for every room after each guest's stay. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this hotel based on my experience.

Ideally located close to bolhus market and 5 minutes to the start of the city. Lots of shops around and cafes. Reception are very welcoming. Bed and bedding were extremely clean and crisp. Lovely big bed. Bathroom is really nice and plenty of shampoo and body wash. The shower floods the bathroom so we asked for an extra shower mat to control it. The bar has limited choice, just a local IPA and various wines. We didn't have breakfast.

This Ibis hotel is located close to a Metro station. First time to arrive the hotel is not easiy to be found as no sign is visible from the main street. The building is an interesting representative of early 20th century architecture and was used as an apartment house before being transferred into a hotel. Staff is very helpful in providing information. Rooms are furbished fit-for-purpose and very clean.

The location of the hotel was close to the Mercado Bolhao, and everything else is walkable. The shower area is a little bit quirky since there is no way to prevent the water from overflowing into the rest of the bathroom. Other than that, it was a good place to rest after a full day of exploring the city.

We chose this hotel originally mainly because of the location, close to the metro line from the airport, an overground train station, and the Bolhao market. So no dragging cases along steep cobbled streets! Also good road access if going on trips etc.

This hotel was clean, smart, and comfortable. Simple buffet breakfast and a bar.

Service and check in was excellent. Room was large enough with sufficient space for our clothes etc., but was quite basically furnished. The mattress was quite well used and would probably benefit from being replaced. The screen in the shower was too short to prevent water getting onto the bathroom floor. The hotel is in a great location to easily walk to all of the tourist attractions and bars and restaurants etc. Overall we enjoyed our stay and it was good value for money.

This is the first hotel that I've stayed at that didn't have a ground floor entry lobby and reception desk. We were directed to the second floor bar and lounge area to be checked in by a young woman at her laptop computer. The staff was friendly enough, and when I said that this arrangement was rather strange, her response was \"Yes! We're different.\" When we reached our room I was taken aback by the furnishings and decor. It was a small room for two people, and it had no area for storing luggage amd little space to hang clothing. The furnishings were minimal and more like in a college dormitory than in very good rated hotel. Other than for the bed, which was comfortable, there was not on other soft surface in the room. The appointments in the bath were minimal without even a towel bar to use for safety. Being an architect, I could see that the space was poorly dimensioned and probably didn't meet standard building codes. Additionally, the sink was located in the sleeping area adjacent to what was supposed to be a desk. There was just one hard chair in the room, and I had to request another chair to put luggage on. The final insult was one small window in a sloping part of the ceiling from which we could see nothing. I have no idea what other rooms in the hotel looked like, but I will never recommend this hotel based on what I experienced though the one very positive feature was the excellent breakfast that was served.

We booked the hotel as a 3 star hotel and we were disappointed to find a basic hotel with a make-shift reception. The rooms have an unfortunate design with multiple shelves feeling as if sleeping in a storage area. The hotel has two small elevators of which one did not work at the time we stayed in. The area is close to the market, but the market was under renovation and there were very limited options for dining. On the positive side, the staff was nice and cheerful. Overall, we did not feel that the hotel delivered a reasonable value for the price we paid.
