Hotel Poveira

I had a very good one night stay at Hotel Poveira. The location is great if you need to get an early morning train as it is 3 minutes from the Porto Campana station. The downside is that the area around the hotel is not interesting. The room was big with wooden or laminate flooring, a big desk, a double bed, bedside tables on both sides of the bed with lamps, a comfortable bed, a nice duvet and a view to the inner yard, hence the room was quiet. There was a wardrobe with mirrored tables and plenty of space The bathroom had a good shower, fluffy towels (sometimes 4 star hotels don't have as nice towels as Hotel Poveira, so an extra point for that!) , a sink and a bidet. The man at the rception was very friendly and professional. He gave me a map of Porto and some directions. The hotel also has a small and cosy bar. The breakfast had all you need: Bread,croissants, cheese, ham, jams, yoghurts, cereals and even some home made cake. Everything was good quality. Sure, it was a no frills hotel, but it had all you need for a good night's sleep and a good breakfast to get you going. I would happily stay there again if I would go back to Porto.

Fabulous location lovely clean room,strange shape bathroom good breakfast ,nice staff.......only concern was flimsy room door lock like an indoor toilet lock didn't think it was very secure for a city hotel in such a busy area Added comment is it wasnt nessesary to valet the room every day with towels etc and if they had a door tag to say if it was needed or not hotel staff could save a lot of time and energy

I don’t think the 1 star rating is fair for this hotel, the room is decent for what you pay, clean and a decent size. Staff are nice and breakfast is alright (nothing cooked) but still adequate
