Fantastic Stay at Holiday Inn Express Porto City C

I had an amazing stay at the Holiday Inn Express Porto City Centre. The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Porto, making it easy to explore the city's top attractions, restaurants, and shops on foot. The room was modern, spotless, and very comfortable, with a cozy bed and a well-designed bathroom. Despite being in a central location, it was quiet, allowing for a great night's sleep. The complimentary breakfast was excellent, offering a variety of fresh options to start the day. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with recommendations and any requests. Their warm hospitality made the stay even more enjoyable. Overall, this hotel is a fantastic choice for anyone visiting Porto. Great value, excellent service, and a prime location—I would definitely stay here again!

Wybraliśmy ten hotel ze względu na położenie oraz atrakcyjną cenę. Do najbliższych atrakcji dojdziesz spacerkiem w 10-15min. Przy hotelu znajduje się dużo kawiarenek, restauracji i sklepików z pamiątkami. Hotel zadbany, pokoje czyste oraz dobrze wyposażone ( suszarka, żelazko, kosmetyki, ręczniki). Śniadania smaczne i jak dla mnie wystarczające ( jajecznica, sery, wędliny, pieczywo, jogurty, soki, woda, kawa, ciasteczka w tym Pastéis de nata). Recepcjoniści bardzo przyjaźni. Duży plus za możliwość zostawienia bagażu po wymeldowaniu. Zdecydowanie polecam!

Okay place to spend the night

We stayed at this hotel last week for a few nights and had a wonderful experience - a super-quiet room with a balcony view, super clean, very friendly and accommodating front desk staff and food services staff, etc. We came back last night for one night and our experience was not the same as last week. Our room was noisy and we really missed last week's staff. It is going to be a long evening of overnight travel home on very little sleep. Breakfast was good throughout both stays, although we were bummed that the croissants and wheat rolls were not offered this morning.
