Fornelo e Vairão Holidays from £308

The property was centrally located and clean. Outside the property there were drug users shooting up at all times of the day and night, it was scary and less than optimal.

The hotel staff was exceptional… They were in quick and close communication with us before I stay and throughout the stay. The apartment/hotel well, within a 10 minute walk to all the popular points of interest and right next-door to a coffee shop that opens around 8 AM with great food and coffee! If you have a car, getting to the hotel is very tricky with very narrow roads, but we got lucky and found a space right by the entrance. That may not be the case for everyone. It is definitely a city for walking versus using a car. The bathroom was very clean, with toiletries, etc. Our only complaint is the bed was a little hard since it was more of a pullout couch style, and there was some mold on the wall by the window. Otherwise, we thought the hotel was exceptional!

Nothing fancy, fairly sizeable rooms for an affordable price. Would recommend if you stay here as a tourist that you walk in to town and taxi back as it’s essentially one long uphill walk for about 20 minutes on the way back.

The overall setup inside the property is satisfactory, yet the electricity supply is easily disrupted when the oven, cooker, and the air conditioner turn on at the same time!

A magical stay! Right in the heart of Porto’s vibrant Ribeira district, and close to all the sights. The property managers communicated with me the whole time to ensure we had a great stay. It’s an apartment and it was initially confusing to find given we had never been to Porto, but the managers were messaging with me and had someone meet us to show us how to find and enter the space. The apartment itself was beautiful, even better than we expected. The view from the balconies is million dollar! We enjoyed our time there and the managers messaged us a few times to check in and give us recommendations in town. I would recommend this property to anyone coming to Porto.

I never wanted to leave this property. It was the height of excellence and beauty. We’ve travelled extensively and this property is in the top 3 of the hundreds of hotels we have visited in 40 years. Breakfast in the garden was such a beautiful experience. Hotel is walkable to many restaurants and historic monuments. The main stop for the Hop on, Hop off bus is just across the street allowing for easy tours of the city attractions. Would recommend GA Palace to everyone.
