Not in the center city, but the metro is next to it and 10 minutes or so and your in the center city. Very clean and there is a food court and grocery store in the same building. I would stay there again
It is very good hotel location and very easy to get the train rstop to go the city center. My stay include my family and frineds are satisfied at the IBIS HOTEL. But I would like to suggest to the manager of this hotel that the shower booth should have the curtain or sliding door to prevent the water spread over or flood in the toilt. It is not convenience to do shower freely due to above reason.
Over a smallish shopping mall with supermarket and cafes, and right next to IPO metro station with frequent trams to Porto's historic centre. Much cheaper then more central hotels, so offered excellent value for money.
Excelent front desk person Mss Daniela, she was very helpfull and cordial. Also good housekeeping on our floor, helpfull. Shopping Galerry is extreamly helpfull as it was raining all times.

Cheap on toiletries. Only 2 Dixie cups. No kleenex. Only 2 towels.
Breakfast buffet was good.
The hotel is strategically located next to a train stop and a shopping center. If you are looking for a good-budget hotel, this might be your option. It's not in the center of the tourist areas, however, you can get to the touristy places in 10 minutes. The rooms are clean and spacious.

Wonderfully connected to all the core areas of Porto, just outside of the hotel is the Metro stop
Hotel is outside of center but onky a 12 min tram ride which is located outside of hotel. A small shoping center is located one floor below hotel with good eating areas and a very nice grocery store.
Rooms are equipped with aircon., tv, good beds, basic. Near hospital, quiet area, nice lobby.
Really good option outside of the city center, but with easy access there and to the tourist attractions nearby. Good public transportaion, it also offers parking in case you need it. Breakfast is charged apart, but worth paying for. The property is located in the top of a shopping mall, which makes easier for shopping or food.
great location by the metro station and on the top of a shopping mall. Even though the hotel is not located in the city center, it is easy enough to get there and to the tourist attractions using the convenient metro nearby. The mall also offers a range of services, which makes shopping easier as well.
It was amazing stay at this hotel. The hotel is located near a metro station - less than one minute walk. The hotel is located in the third and fourth floor of shopping center. In the first floor you can find several restaurants, and in the entrance floor you can find several shops and supermarkets .
Portugal is under lock down. Thankfully, this hotel provided me with a 5€ self-Covid test that I had to pass in order to stay there, a new requirement of all hotels in Portugal starting December 25.
