We were really pleased with our stay and were warmly welcomed by the host Lourdes. Our room was compact but very clean and comfortable, it felt very modern. Great bathroom and we appreciated the ability to store our luggage in a locker after we had checked out and before our flight.

I recommend this property 1000% and will definitely come back in the future.

Very modern, clean and quiet environment, on the ground floor of a residential building. The room was spotless, recently remodeled and amazingly well furnished with a whopping 50-inch Samsung TV on the large wall right in front of the bed. The unit can be accessed through an electronic key code that opens the front door as well as the internal room door. A large lounge area with a kitchen and an entertainment space completes the available amenities, with a sofa in front of a large TV set in a stylish and tastefully decorated environment.

The manager Lurdes was incredibly kind and made sure I had everything I needed during my stay.

I will definitely consider staying again at the Sophia Urban Suites, next time I am in Porto.

The stay was okay. The room was much smaller than I anticipated, but that wasnt the main issue as everything was clean and nice. The issue was with the staff. We were accused of abusing house rules when we did not and were rudely spoken to since the beginning of the trip. Every interaction with the staff was uncomfortable as the woman we spoke with was very rude.

This property is absolutely brilliant, great to have access to a fully equipped kitchen! Lurdes is a great manager, the whole place is immaculate.

What I would highlight to potential guests is that currently there isn't a Metro station within the local vicinity, you have a 20 min walk to Casa Musica. There are buses available from Palacio Cristal which is 5 mins walk away. There is a Metro line under construction and a station due to open very close by in the near future.
Don't let this put you off staying here though, it's fabulous!

Clean and modern apartment but…

Great concept for holiday apartments and I do love the cleanness, and the location of it. However because it was still “winter” in Portugal (we visited in April ) so they don’t provide cold air through their aircon and the room was BOILING. It’s almost 30 degrees outside during the day and although a fan was provided the room was just too hot for me so my sleep was terrible despite a comfortable bed.

Lurdes was wonderful and very accommodating of our last minute delay due to train services getting to Porto.

The suite was modern, clean and the common space was very nice.

The room itself was tiny- tight squeeze for 2 people and luggage. More suitable for one traveller. The wooden bed frame was very uncomfortable and left bruises on the back of our legs from trying to get in and out of bed.

The room was very warm and we were unable to adjust the temperature. Made for uncomfortable sleeps. The desk fan just blew around the hot air but was something thankfully, as there was no windows to open.

The walk is close to the shopping centre, Crystal Palace Garden and restaurants. Bolt otherwise got us to the beaches about 15mins from the suite.

Would recommend for a short stay.

Had a great time staying at Sophia Urban Suites. The location was convenient, close to a small mall and food hall (mercado bom successo, which I'd recommend visiting for lots of various portuguese food vendors in a cute modern space). I enjoy walking through a city vs driving/bussing, so I got my (20-25min) hike daily going down into the city center, but I didnt mind. Ubers were also only about a 15 min ride (costing less than 8 euros!). The property was very clean and super quiet! You share a hallway/chapter with guests either below or above you but I never saw the neighbors (or any other guests the whole duration of my 4 night stay). The best part of Sophia was Lurdes, the property manager! She is the most kind, welcoming, gracious and helpful host and was able to accomodate us for an earlier earrival (by 1 hour) and also recommend so many places for us to visit/try in the city. I'd recommend/stay here again if ever in Porto!

Nice place. Good location and really good prices. I wasn't crazy about not being able to adjust the room temperature as it's set/fixed at a certain temperature. This sat between 24/25° during my week. That was alright but I personally would have liked it a little cooler. I really liked the place though and the location is really good.

Avoid if you want a good night's rest.

We really wanted to like this place. We booked it because of the wonderful reviews it has, and our initial impressions were positive because the place seemed new with modern decor, and the manager Lurdes met with us with such warmth and was very helpful in every way. It is also not too far from the city center.
The problem was the room itself. We booked it for 4 nights, and did not manage to get one decent night of sleep because it was so stuffy and warm the entire time even with the \"AC\" unit and a fan. We set the AC to 18 degrees, and it did not cool down at all- remained constantly between 24-25°c. And this is a very small room... There was no way of getting any outside air so we had to leave both the AC and the fan on whenever we were in the room. We contacted the management about this the first night to see if anything could be done, no response. Another ridiculous thing about the room is the wooden Murphy bed frame, which encloses the entire mattress and protrudes above the mattress. It should have been higher than the frame. Needless to say, it was so hard to get in and out of bed without hurting ourselves, and we couldn't really sit on the edge of the bed, not to mention constantly waking up from bumping into the bed frame at night. To make things worse, the mattress itself is of such poor quality- hard and caves in a bit in the center. We left after 4 sleepless nights and with quite a few bruises. We simply cannot recommend.
