Ok stay at budget price

It’s a budget hotel so there aren’t many amenities, the desk setup isn’t great for remote work. The AC doesn’t work very well despite me speaking with the front desk and their technician looking at it. The best part of the hotel is how friendly the staff is, they were amazing.

Recommended not to purchase the breakfast unless you don’t have time to go to another local restaurant because you have a early flight. Parking is complementary which is good. Towels need to be better are very small towels in the bathroom. This is a convenient hotel for couple day if you visit Porto.

Nice Ibis as expected. Good Value for money

As all Ibis, this is is a good hotel to have a clean space to spend the night and a nice breakfast. Nice deco, clean, new. It seems ideal for business trips if you are based around the area, for tourism it is a bit out of the town but having a car makes it very easy to get there and spend the day. The motorway around is a bit confusing so you need to get used to it.

Basic 24hr check in accomodation

Difficult to access as the hotel is located off the highway and access via steep ramp up from the clover interchange - street lights were not lit and if you miss this slip road - yoy need to go back to the highway and make a big turn. Suggest the hotel put a big lighted sign board at the slip road. There arec 2 Ibis there - make sure you go to the Correct IBIS Hotel.

Just 20 minutes from the airport.
Or, for sightseeing, a lovely, interesting, 30 minute walk into Porto, all alongside the river.

Toilet in room with flimsy door so you share all bodily functions and sound effects. Very isolated and long walk down the hill not to mention up. You have to take breakfast there unless you have a car. It's not budget because you don't get much for your money. Made a mistake booking here.

Inexpensive no/frills hotel

This hotel room is very small and very basic. The towels are small and thin and you are not even provided a hand towel! There isn't a single cup or glass to have a drink of water. Unfortunately we were there for six days and we were only given two small bars of soap for the first four days. We needed to purchase a towel, shampoo, conditioner, soap and glasses. But the worst part is the lack of room to get around with suitcases and no place to put your deodorant, etc. the only place to sit is a cheap, plastic stool. Only stay here if your only concern is saving money on your hotel because it was inexpensive.

A real budget, basic, and clean hotel.

Check in & out were easy. The room is very clean but small, has a stool & tiny table with lots of floor space.
Bathroom is big with shower only (our request) & a folding chair. It looks like a hospital bathroom. It has no electrical outlet or a hair dryer. Bathroom light is on motion sensor. It will turn off after 2 minutes if it detects no big motion.
Our room is a wheelchair accessible room. The biggest problem is that there is only one electrical outlet in the room plus one that is used for the tv. We had to unplug the tv to use the outlet & somehow tied our device to the tv cable to charge our device. There is a long mirror in the room but far away from any outlet. We asked why there was no outlet in the bathroom; we were told because the room is for wheelchair accessible. We told the staff that a person on wheelchair also needs to or can dry her hair, the staff just shrugged his shoulder. We asked for an extention cord, the hotel had none and we were offered adaptors which we didn't need.
Staff was helpful but spoke very basic English. So, it was difficult to ask detail questions or explanations.
Beds were comfortable but small, smaller than twin size.
Wi-fi was very slow. Computer in the lobby was only in Portuguese; even the staff could not make it in English or any other language. It was frustrating to use. After an hour I decided to send e-mails from my tablet to the hotel in order to get what I needed printed instead printing it myself using the lobby computer.
