Disgusting Conditions and Appalling Standards – Bruval Premium Apartments, Porto
Nothing. Anything good about the location becomes irrelevant when you don't want to return there each day.
Our five-night stay at Bruval Premium Apartments in Porto was an extremely unpleasant experience. The standard of cleanliness, maintenance and customer service was appalling. The apartment was dirty, poorly maintained and had a persistent, overpowering smell of urine. We would not recommend this accommodation to anyone.
The cleanliness was simply unacceptable. The floors were dirty, and the bathroom was in a disgusting condition. There was visible mould in the shower cubicle and around the basin. The shower itself was barely usable. The drain was clogged, and within less than a minute of showering, the floor would begin to flood. We repeatedly had to turn the shower off and wait for the water to subside before we could continue.
The shower hardware was also broken. The handheld shower nozzle would fall to the bottom of its mounting frame and was visibly cracked. There was no effective way to switch between the handheld and overhead shower heads; both ran simultaneously. The bathroom ventilation fan was not working, making an already unpleasant and mould-ridden environment even worse.
The smell throughout the apartment was revolting. There was a strong, persistent smell of urine that made the apartment deeply unpleasant to occupy. We had to leave the doors open continuously in an attempt to air the place out and make it bearable. An apartment that cannot be comfortably occupied without its doors being left open because of an overpowering smell is simply not fit for purpose.
The bedding was another serious concern. The bottom sheet was far too large for the bed, with overstretched elastic that meant it would not stay in place. More concerning was the smell of the bed linen. Initially, we thought the musty odour might have been caused by damp sheets being stored or placed on the bed before they had properly dried. However, after a couple of days, the smell became increasingly reminiscent of body odour.

Comfortable property in a fantastic location.
The location was very convenient for walking all around Porto and across the bridge to Gaia. The apartment had everything we needed for a 4 day stay. Great kitchen for preparing some meals.
Having to walk through cigarette smoke to get in but that is not the property’s issue just a result of being on the corner.

The location was fantastic. The breakfast was more than plentiful and good variety.
Be aware ours was the top apartment and there are 4 flights of winding stairs to navigate. Good exercise but not great when you have heavy luggage to carry. Or at the end of the day when you are tired. It could be quite challenging.
While breakfast was varied and more than plentiful it didn't get delivered (uber eats?) Until well after 9 am, one day at 9.45! Not suitable when you are a tourist and want to go out early and explore.
The apartment was quite dirty and dusty, when we arrived as though it hadn't been vacuumed for a while. The furniture is chunky 80's style pine, the bed has a shelf around the mattress that that begs to bruise your calves every time you walk past.
There is just one arm chair. The bed had two pillows on it but the spares in the wardrobe had no pillow case. The bottom sheet did not fit properly and kept rolling off. The shower area was mouldy, and the toiletries provided was one small bottle. The hot water was scalding hot, be very careful.
Surprisingly for a country that prides itself on their wine, only one wine glass was provided!
