OportoHouse

This was our first visit to Porto: definitely worth visiting. It was a Thursday. As we entered the side street off a promising part of Porto we were dismayed to see two strip clubs - hiding behind the moniker of Gentleman's Clubs. This immediately made me regret booking this place as my teen daughter was with us. On entering the main door into the hallway we went through another coded door to a lovely interior so our spirits were lifted after the initial shock! This was short-lived however as we didn't get any sleep until 5am when music from across the street ended. I tried listening to a podcast but my regular headphones couldn't cancel out that background beat of thump, thump, thump, thump! It was my fault for mixing up Oporto House (which has no parking) with Turim Oporto (which provides parking). Maybe don't make that mistake if you value your sleep. On the plus side if you like strip clubs and don't need much sleep this is right up your street! We enjoyed good, healthy food at nearby NOLA (short for no label). We parked at the Trindade public carpark about a 10 min walk away (it is covered in splendid murals) and it cost us 24 euros for our stay of just under 20 hours.

With my wife, we booked this place by phone for a trip on Porto, the hostel confirm us the dates and we exchange several mails and calls to confirm the dates. 8 hours before the plane, the hostel just canceled our reservation without serious reasons. To avoid

Nous avons eu une annulation de vol suite aux grèves en France. Nous n'avons donc pas pu nous rendre dans cet établissement. Nous avons contacté l'hôtel dès que notre vol a été annulé! Ce dernier n'a rien voulu savoir et n'a pas cherché à reporter notre séjour. C'est une attitude peu commerciale et regrettable. C'est lorsque les clients ont des problèmes que l'on peut vraiment apprécier le professionnalisme d'un établissement! Malheureusement cela ne semble pas être une priorité chez eux! Cet établissement est surement très bien ! Nous ne le saurons jamais ! Dommage !
