Beta Porto - Porto, Portugal     

If you are expecting this hotel to be up to the 4* standard it is advertised as, you will be very disappointed. It is more like a 2*. Negatives: Very dated furnishings and the whole hotel (apart from the reception area) is in need of modernisation. Stairwell areas are really grim - plaster off the walls and ugly fire doors etc. Pool area is very small and very hot, and quite run-down. Rooms are not very well sound-proofed and our mattress had a big dip in the middle of it which was a little annoying. No hairdryer / iron / tea or coffee making facilities in the room (which you would expect in a 4* hotel). Not very close to the city centre (although bus stops nearby). Positives: Modern double glazing. Bathrooms are ok. Staff are friendly and happy to be of service and the continental breakfast is OK - fresh bread, cereal, cold meat and cheese etc. Only 10-15 min bus ride to city centre, only Euro 1,35 for one-way trip. Overall, i wouldn't choose this hotel again when visiting Porto.

El hotel está bastante lejos del centro de Oporto. Las 4 estrellas no están a mi parecer justificadas, aunque tal vez lo estuvieran en su momento. Es un hotel antiguo, cubierto de moqueta roja y que ni siquiera tiene luz directa en las habitaciones. Reservamos habitaciones de matrimonio y nos dieron camas gemelas y respondieron a nuestras quejas con un encogimiento de hombros. El trato no es especialmente amable, la relación calidad/precio no es en absoluto proporcional y las instalaciones dejan bastante que desear. Yo desde luego no repito ni invitada.
