Vivacity Porto - Rooms & Apartments

The location is excellent. A few steps away form the 601 and 602 busses (2.5 Euros) to and from the airport and steps away from the historic tram network (12 Euro for 2 day pass) and more than enough cafes and restaurants of different types (including Taco Bell) in the same small block and hundreds more shops (and the Harry Potter bookstore) very close. The 'Superior" room wasn't very superior but I did like the "balcony" (a ledge) to open the windows and look out over the street at the back. The little parkette at the front is nice to have a bit of green and trees while at one of the cafes'

The hotel and rooms are very modern and sterile lacking any character and the staff are without personality. The breakfast is blah. Not enough hooks and hangers in the small room. There was only 1 foot (30cm) of space to get around the bed. No elevator so the 60 steps up to the room were a bit tough for legs sore from walking around the city. But TV OK with lots of channels.

Location, included breakfast

Front desk man wasn’t friendly or welcoming, one light didn’t work, bathroom door didn’t lock properly, sink was getting plugged

Apartment is big, clean, and with appliances and tools for cooking, coffee and so on.

Posizione centrale. Personale gentile. Bella vista dal balcone.

Stanza molto rumorosa fino a tardissima notte, soprattutto il venerdì e il sabato. Nonostante il clima piacevole, è impossibile lasciare aperte le finestre ma è necessario comunque l'utilizzo dell'aria condizionata. Consiglio di munirsi di tappi. Colazione quasi inesistente, molto essenziale ma considerando che è inclusa, se non si hanno grandi aspettative dei classici buffet è più che sufficiente. Nota sulla pulizia della camera. Non è prevista la pulizia come in un classico hotel. Nessun problema a riguardo ma non viene segnalato dal personale e le modalità per richiedere il servizio di pulizia.
