Oporto Serviced Apartments - Alvares Cabral

Location

Apartment had several things to be fixed. Tap in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom lights, kitchen window... it all needs a maintanance.

The apartment offered everything expected and more. Thanks for the coffee pods we enjoyed it very much, as well as the liquid washing powder and washing up liquid. All we had to make provision for was our food. Our stay was most enjoyable and exceptionally comfortable and breakfast was arranged timeously especially when we had early morning excursions.

Perhaps an upgrade to a smart tv could be made possible.

Good location Clean

good: very clean, communication service (contactable all time), location (only a few minutes away from downtown), the beds were ok, dishwasher was good, towel change for no extra charge (they did not dry in the bathroom because no heater or window and the aeration wasn't doing his job, only made noise); supermarket close by; electric kettle, toaster, big fridge

Stay: end of january for 3 nights; we stayed in the MOLHE -App (upper level) . So I only have exp. with this app. I travel a lot so I might compare the quality of accomodation. the heating wasn't good at all. Only 3 "small" electrical heater in the app. One in each bedroom (that was ok if you let the doors closed) and one in the living room. No heater in the bathroom! We stayed 3 nights in the app and the weather wasn't good. Cold and rainy outside. So for us the app wasn't warm enough at any time (even though we put the heater up to 25/26 degrees- heater in the living room didn't have enough power). Then, practical things: the mirror in the bathroom was to the right from the toilet, not above the sink. Was quite circuitous). Also the shower: not much water coming out of the shower head. If you have long hair, it takes hours... also kitchen and bathroom are using boiler. So sometimes warm water took a while/ no warm water was left/water temperature was changing during shower.. not so nice... water in the sink in the bathroom only went lukewarm. The chairs in the living room were very uncomfortable (basic wood, cold, no cussions), the table made of stone (so very cold as well if there is not much heating). The sofa was a bit worn out. No scissors. Then, we paid 11 Euro per person for breakfast. They only had a few coffee pads in the kitchen. If you wanted some more, there was a sign, 0,50ct extra per pad. Breakfast: 2 choices (only sweet but ok for us), but only 1 very tiny butter and 1 very tiny jam. So for us not enough. The Croissant was delicious, the buns good and the cereals/granola /fruits and orange juice very delicious as well. So we bought cheese, coffee, butter and extra jam in the supermarket.
