Hotel Ibis Porto Centro Mercado Do Bolhao 3 estrelas

We stayed here for 3 nights during our visit to Porto. The hotel is very centrally located. It is an old but recently refurbished apartment. The rooms have all the necessities. It is very easy to arrive from the airport, just a tram ride away. While the hotel is quite affordable compared to other hotels in the area, it provides good quality service. However, there are some minor issues that could be handled better. 1. The bathroom shower panels are very short and the flooring has no depth at all. Adding to that, the drainage isn't fast enough to drain the water and the shower floods very badly. Please ask for a few extra towels and cover the floor for possible flooding. 2. The breakfast is really good and we think it is a good value meal. The tables were arranged nicely and they left individual pickers to keep the open buffet clean. Big kudos on that. The restaurant has limited seating and overcrowds quite easily. During busy hours, we didn't feel covid safe due to crowding. The management of the breakfast area by the staff could be improved. Nobody welcomed us and checked us in when we arrived to the restaurant. We found a table and helped ourselves. This angered the staff as our stay didn't include breakfast. They came to check whether we paid for our breakfast (which is completely fine - I totally understand and it is fine to be interrupted for checking our room number). We said we need to pay for it and told our room number. Then the staff got a bit aggressive and told "Well, you should have paid before sitting here". When we offered to pay, she said, "No, no. That's ok. Pay when leaving". Still, there was an attitude when we went to pay afterwards, she didn't talk at all but took my credit card to pay through right away. I found this attitude a bit rude. What I would expect is: "First enough staffing for not letting us in if we didn't pay, and if we were already in, it would be ok to be friendly. We are definitely not trying to sneak food and earn enough to pay 9 euros". 3. The hotel staff accommodated our requests during check-in and provided extra towels and pillow. However, there was no shower gel left in the room (it is wall mouthed). When we requested some on our second night, they said the cleaners locker is locked at the moment, they will put the next day. We didn't get any shower get the whole duration of our stay which wasn't ideal. Overall, good value stay but could be better with a bit more friendly service.

Ficamos no sexto andar sem janela nem arcondicionado As tres horas da manha conseguimos trocar para um ap do quinto andar e conseguimos dormir Eu ja estava indo dormir nas cadeuras da recepcao q tinha ar condicionado Absurdo o ibis nao ter ar condicionado Ja a segunda vez Ano passado no ibis di centro de madri tambem nao tinha

O hotel é bem localizado, porém poderia melhorar a qualidade do quarto em alguns aspectos. A caso de banho poderia ter um vidro na área da ducha para impedir que molhe-se tudo quando tomamos banho. Não ter frigobar no quarto é inadmissível pelo nome e qualidade da rede.

Sinto-me em casa.

Excelente localização, boa limpeza, tranquilo, bom pequeno almoço
