Tudo bem!

What a lovely place! Great location, close to the Mercado do Bolhao, but in a quiet area. Easy to do a walking tour from here. Staff were all very professional and kind, full of helpful tips, and willing answer all of our questions since it was our first day in Portugal. Rooms were aesthetically pleasing, very clean, well stocked. Indoor pool was refreshing after a day out in the Douro Valley. The WiFi was smooth. Hotel breakfast was delicious and fresh with fruit, veg, European and American options. The staff even helped us find a doctor when our daughter was sick. Highly recommend BessaHotel Baixa! Can’t wait to come back in the future.

The amenities, food and staff were all exemplary. During the power crisis, the hotel went into overdrive and did an extremely good job. They can be justifiably proud of themselves. Thank you. A great place to stay. I would recommend it. Next time, I would pay more for the superior room as I think the layout is better.

Make no mistake this is a luxury hotel. The staff were absolutely wonderful; attentive, professional, friendly and polite at all times. It was evident that much time, money and consideration had been given to the the design and decoration of the both the rooms and the common areas which felt contemporary and stylish. The restaurant was exceptionally good, the best hotel restaurant I have eaten in by a long way. The menu wasn't too large, which is a very good sign, but the food was outstanding. I have no hesitation to highly recommend BessaHotel Baixa and I would love to stay there again. Thank you! Ziggy
