Perfect position for many of the main attractions.
Clean room, lovely staff, nice breakfast. Palacio da 2 mins walk, waterfront 5 mins, Sao Bentk train station 7 mins, shops & restaurants all nearby
Breakfast room gets crowded, lots of street noise on a weekend even from 6th floor. Take ear plugs. Seagulls also very noisy 😀

We loved our room, it had a fantastic view looking down to the river and as the windows were high the hotel had provided this cute little set of steps so we could sit in the window and enjoy the view. Staff were pleasant and breakfast was pretty good, though not much variety over the week.

Tuve un problema con la app de Expedia para el movil ya que al hacer la reserva me cambio las fechas y me la hizo solo para dos personas y yo la requería para tres. Solicite la ayuda via chat y me pidieron que les diera los datos confidenciales de mi tarje a lo cual conteste que por seguridada no los podria proporcionar y que no era necesario ya que Expedia los tenia ya como datos de la tarjeta que uso normalmente,pra mis reservas .Me contestaron que no podían hacer nada y que lo viera al llegar al hotel. En el hotel si me cambiaron las fechas de la reserva pero me vendieron otra habitación a parte para la tercera presona porque eso no lo podian corregior , asi que termine pagando el doble . Tengan cuidado con la app de Expedia en el movil puesto que no funciona correctamente y te hace reservar lo que no quieres , te cambia las fechas y terminas pagando doble. Yo no recomiendo que la usen, vayan mejor a sitio web.

Great location with easy access to bars and restaurants. Friendly staff, good breakfast. The only thing to note is that walls can be thin and noise from the street loud on weekends plus on the 6th floor, the heavy rain got quite loud. But it was warm and comfy and I will definitely look to stay here again in the future.

Staff was courteous at check-in and the location was great!
The room was not very clean, the bathroom felt dirty. It was also very noisy...I realize this is most likely a very old building, but if you're traveling with kids or sensitive noise, I'd look elsewhere. We were woken up multiple times a night and early morning by noises from neighbors in all directions.

As well, they offered numerous English speaking stations on the tv.

The Hotel da Bolsa is in an ideal location in the western area of the Riberia district. The beginning walkway to the Miradouro de Vitoria is just across the street, you are a minute or so from Rua des Flores with lots of dining, shopping and street music, about a 10 minute walk to Sao Bento train station, and less than a 20 minute walk to the Cais on the Douro River. The room was typical of an European Hotel, with a 24/7 manned front desk, well furnished rooms, and had an elevator!!! I would certainly stay here again.

This hotel was in a great location. However, it was outdated. The carpet was old. The elevators were really really old. The sliding door to get into our bathroom got stuck. The wood floors were scratched. The shower had mildew and leaked all over the floor, causing us to need two towels to dry it after showering each day. There was a dripping noise our third night that kept me up for hours. Again, nice enough staff, not disgusting by any means, and a great location. However, if you’re wanting something that feels nice, this isn’t that.

The location was perfect, walking distance to everything there is to see. As we had a car, parking is, as everywhere in Portugal, a problem and ended up in a very expensive parking lot.

This is a great hotel in a great central location. Can basically walk from the hotel to anywhere in Porto. Staff are very friendly. Rooms are on the smaller size unless you purchase a bigger one and the elevators can only fit 1-2 people max which makes it hard for anyone with kids or extra bags.

Description indicates parking available. When I called upon arrival to ask where the parking was located, the staff member chuckled and stated \"we don't have parking. We have never had parking.\" I tried to explain what I read upon booking and later in person showed him the hotel description. He stated he couldn't help and there was no manager we could speak to. The room was very small and we woke up at 6:30 am to people screaming outside our window given the busier location outside. The shower drain and soap dish were coated with soap scum. The floor of the shower was wobbly.

Good hotel with excellent location

This hotel is centrally located and it’s an easy walk to most of the touristy areas of Porto. The hotel is nice and the breakfast was very good. A wonderful coffee machine, excellent pastries, fruit, etc. I only have 2 complaints. 1). The hotels.com website says that there is limited on site parking. There is absolutely no parking — I confirmed this with management. We found an outdoor lot about a 10 minute walk away for $20 Euro for 3 days. 2) hotels.com says that the room choices include a queen bed. I booked either a queen or 2 singles. We were given a double which was small and when I asked about this, management said that they do not have any queen beds. The website needs to be updated. One other thing — our room was on the top floor so the view was nice, but the ceiling slanted and the bathroom door did not fully open, so it was a little tight getting in and out of the bathroom.

Hotels.com needs to update their website.

The builfing dies not have any distinctive Portuguese features . I found the room quite hot and prefer fresh air to AC. The nature of the windows made it unlikely for it to be easy to open and shut them easily.
The breakfast was serviceable but dominated by machines e.g., coffee out of a machine, a vat of almost boiling water to boil an egg.
The staff, for the most part were curtious and helpful. The location is terrific; easy to access higher up near the university or lower diwn by the river.

Recently stayed in this hotel for a few days and were very pleased with location. The staff were very pleasant and good choice of food available for breakfast.

Room was excellent, good size and very comfortable bed.
