"This was our first stay at HF Fenix Porto and the experience was exceptional. At arrival we were treated like valued guests. The check in process was quick and simple, and the reception staff were amazing. We were assigned a corner room on the 10th floor and the room was very modern and spacious - even including a small table and chairs for dining. The bathroom was extremely modern, spacious and well equipped. The buffet breakfast was wonderful and offered a full range of hot and cold foods - and the service is exceptional. During our stay there was no evening restaurant but we did enjoy a dinner in their sister hotel that is next door (HF Tuela) The hotel is located in the business district of Porto which we found ideal - there is a shopping mall next door, offering all sorts of stores plus a supermarket. And there is a wonderful food hall spanning the next block where many vendors offer all different types of cooked foods - from snacks and ice cream to full meals, plus of course the Portuguese wine. This is incredibly convenient and even better because it is used by many of the locals Taxis are readily available at the taxi rank outside, and we found it very convenient to take a taxi each morning to our place of choice for the day - depending on the destination, we paid between 4 and 10 Euros for a taxi. And many locations are very walkable. This is a hotel we would choose again for a visit to Porto. We had a great five day stay. Thank you"

"Near so much of Porto's sights and history. The new Metro Station construction was a bit of inconvenience, but wasn't a major disruption. "

"You will have to drag your luggage to the front entrance of the hotel. Only taxis are allowed to go to the door and if costs more. Uber is not allowed there. I had asked for a replenishment of face towels but none came for 4 days! My tv did not work and it was clear that they replaced the whole thing because the furniture was moved around when I got back. And the person left the master key card in the slot. When I brought it back to the front desk, the person didn't seem to realize that I could have used that card to get into anyone's room and steal anything! I would stay there again but I would ask for a room facing the water. Looks like I was supposed to get an upgrade but that did not happen. But got a bottle of their house wine instead. I guess I should have been more demanding about the towels. But I did ask about them every day for 4 days. Never got them in the end. "

"This hotel is in a wonderful location and was lucky to have a room with great views.The local architecture looks impressive day and night..Friendly and informative at Reception. I was here last year and had to return ! "
