Over a smallish shopping mall with supermarket and cafes, and right next to IPO metro station with frequent trams to Porto's historic centre. Much cheaper then more central hotels, so offered excellent value for money.

Location was absolutely perfect, though access to it may seem a bit tricky. It is located on top of a mini Shopping Mall so plenty of options for meals are easily found. Location is also pretty easy to locate if you are arriving via the Metro do Porto. Breakfast was freshly done everyday with plenty of options to have for the first thing in the morning. The Rooms were small yet they did their job correctly, one side note there was no water bottles in the room so youd have to buy one in the snack bar in the hotel lobby or to the supermarket outside the hotel. The Staff was absolutely brilliant ready to help with any needs you may require.

The hotel is strategically located next to a train stop and a shopping center. If you are looking for a good-budget hotel, this might be your option. It's not in the center of the tourist areas, however, you can get to the touristy places in 10 minutes. The rooms are clean and spacious.

It is very good hotel location and very easy to get the train rstop to go the city center. My stay include my family and frineds are satisfied at the IBIS HOTEL. But I would like to suggest to the manager of this hotel that the shower booth should have the curtain or sliding door to prevent the water spread over or flood in the toilt. It is not convenience to do shower freely due to above reason.

Convenient location with an affordable price

great location by the metro station and on the top of a shopping mall. Even though the hotel is not located in the city center, it is easy enough to get there and to the tourist attractions using the convenient metro nearby. The mall also offers a range of services, which makes shopping easier as well.

Really good option outside of the city center, but with easy access there and to the tourist attractions nearby. Good public transportaion, it also offers parking in case you need it. Breakfast is charged apart, but worth paying for. The property is located in the top of a shopping mall, which makes easier for shopping or food.

It was amazing stay at this hotel. The hotel is located near a metro station - less than one minute walk. The hotel is located in the third and fourth floor of shopping center. In the first floor you can find several restaurants, and in the entrance floor you can find several shops and supermarkets .
