BessaHotel Boavista

It is a few years since I last stayed at the Bessa; I had forgotten what a good hotel it is - clean, modern, efficient and friendly. The staff were very helpful to accommodate my request for a late check out. Breakfast is always good there, and this time I had a couple of snacks in the bar in the evening, which were truly delicious.

I'll start with the only con to get it out of the way - it's not a central hotel. It's located in what seems like a residential neighborhood. Ubers to the center are not expensive however. Having said that, I don't care because it was AWESOME. The room was very very clean, the bathtub was luscious and the hot tub was amazing. Porto is a lovely place but I would honestly travel there again just to stay at this hotel. The staff was absolutely lovely. We had to stay another night because our flight was canceled and everyone was so friendly and sympathetic. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who doesn't care about being exactly in the center and wants a more luxury experience than the usual small room with two bed put together that you get in Europe a lot.

Everything!!! That room with jacuzzi on the terrace was such a great choice for the day when Portugal got out of power - this hotel has an autonomous power generator and they accepted guests that day; super tasty dinner (got it into the room with a nice bottle of champagne); kind staff; location in Boavista next to the stadium in between Porto city center and Matosinhos; I will definitely get back for more days

Good breakfast for the cost of €12 Lovely comfy bed and the hot tub was a great addition after a long day walking. Room was very clean. The only thing I would say that you have to get into a bath to take a shower which may cause some people difficulty

We are a family of four - and the suite that we booked was actually two big rooms with two separate bathrooms. It was so spacious. The bed is big and comfortable, the temperature was just nice. The hotel is not in the most central location but with uber, you can pretty much get to anywhere with 3-4 euros. The breakfast was lovely, reasonably good selection, with both hot and cold selections, wide variety of fruits, fruit juice, bakeries etc. The staffs were really lovely too. They did not change the towels daily but otherwise the hotel was lovely.
