Bruval Premium Apartments - Sé Porto

The apartment itself was very nice. The balcony opened up onto the street and was the perfect place to sit in the morning. The air-conditioning kept the room very cool. Towels and toiletries were provided. The kitchenette featured a stove, microwave, and kettle. The apartments are in a perfect location, not directly on a busy street, but an easy walk to the river, the cathedral, and close to lots of nice shops. Castro, an incredible pasteleria is less than a minute’s walk.

When I arrived, there were a few hairs on the pillows from previous guests. I think they may have come from the headboard and not from the pillow cases. The shower drained very slowly to the point that it would overflow in less than five minutes. People smoke in the street below and the room will occasionally smell like cigarettes, so be aware if you do not smoke.

Location is perfect, close to everything. Clean. Comfortable bed.

You live in the center so there will be a lot of noise, that is understandble. There is also a lot of noise coming from inside the house because there is no insulation. You can hear everything. There is a large cupboard with loads of space to hang your clothes. But then they offer you four (4) hangers. The shower drain does not drain and you have to close the tap every other minute so that the room would not flood. Not so handy. There could be in advance information about the breakfast. It's available only from 9 to 9.30.

Great location, very clean apartment and very good facilities.

You could hear a lot of noise from the street. Breakfast included would've also been great, as well as more hospitable hosts.

The location was fantastic. The breakfast was more than plentiful and good variety.

Be aware ours was the top apartment and there are 4 flights of winding stairs to navigate. Good exercise but not great when you have heavy luggage to carry. Or at the end of the day when you are tired. It could be quite challenging. While breakfast was varied and more than plentiful it didn't get delivered (uber eats?) Until well after 9 am, one day at 9.45! Not suitable when you are a tourist and want to go out early and explore. The apartment was quite dirty and dusty, when we arrived as though it hadn't been vacuumed for a while. The furniture is chunky 80's style pine, the bed has a shelf around the mattress that that begs to bruise your calves every time you walk past. There is just one arm chair. The bed had two pillows on it but the spares in the wardrobe had no pillow case. The bottom sheet did not fit properly and kept rolling off. The shower area was mouldy, and the toiletries provided was one small bottle. The hot water was scalding hot, be very careful. Surprisingly for a country that prides itself on their wine, only one wine glass was provided!
