One of the Best Serviced Apartments We’ve Stayed At
This was easily the best serviced apartment we’ve stayed at recently. All the facilities were brand new, and the cleanliness—especially in the kitchen and bathroom—surpassed even some 4-star hotels. Everything we needed was provided, and the interior design was excellent. The bed was also very comfortable. Great location, great price, great amenities.
Here are a few potential downsides that might matter to some guests:
• The internet was very slow. The Wi-Fi signal on the second floor was the strongest, so we used that, but it was barely sufficient for even checking emails. It felt as if the connection was intentionally throttled. If you need stable internet for work, tethering through your phone might actually be faster.
• No elevator. Our unit was located on the second floor, and we had to carry about 30kg of luggage up the stairs ourselves. Even a small, old-fashioned lift would have been a huge help.
• Noise from upstairs. Although the apartment was newly renovated, the flooring is still the original wooden structure, so noise from the upper floor can be heard. We were tired enough to sleep through it with earplugs, but sensitive guests should take this into account. Booking the top-floor unit might solve this issue, though that means climbing even more stairs.
• Early check-in confusion. We had requested an early check-in, but it wasn’t communicated properly. As a result, we had to drop off our luggage at the YOUROPO office, which is about a 6–7 minute walk from the apartment. I wonder if we could’ve left our luggage directly at the property if the message had gone through properly—perhaps someone from the team could clarify?
Despite these minor issues, I would still give this property a full 5 stars. If we visit Porto again, YOUROPO will be at the top of our list.

Guest UserI stayed here for 5 days and 4 nights, and it was hands down the best decision of my entire trip to Porto. If any of my friends or family visit Porto, I would literally force them to book this place. If you are debating between this and a slightly cheaper, mediocre hotel, do yourself a favor and choose this residence. It offers absolute value for money.
1. Unbeatable Location
The location is incredible—literally right next to São Bento Station. If you walk down the slope right across the street, you end up right under the Dom Luís I Bridge. If you walk up the slope to the left, you can reach Jardim do Morro in just about 8 minutes. Having the metro station right outside means you can easily get anywhere, whether it’s Rua de Santa Catarina or the Gaia district. It was so convenient that I could visit a tourist spot, come back to the room for a quick nap, and head out again for evening sightseeing.
2. Excellent Room Condition & Value
The condition of the residence is top-notch. Instead of spending money on an awkwardly priced, lower-quality hotel, staying here gives you premium comfort for an amazing price. It is truly the perfect budget-friendly luxury.
3. Fantastic Amenities (Washing Machine & Cooktop)
Whether Porto is your first stop or you are coming from Lisbon, you’ll eventually need to do laundry or crave some comfort food. The room comes equipped with a washing machine and an induction cooktop. It was amazing to be able to do my piled-up laundry and cook some ramen after buying groceries at the supermarket. This feature alone makes it a must-stay destination during your journey.
[Conclusion]
This place is flawless in terms of location, price, and convenience. Don't hesitate—just book it. You won't regret it!

Lovely apartment, but has some niggling things which could be improved. However, one thing I imagine can’t be improved is the amount of natural sunlight coming in. I stayed in building 339, floor 3 apartment 10. The windows are either too small to let much light in, or it’s facing another side of the building into someone else’s apartment. When I first entered, I also had 6 different flies of all sizes in the kitchen area. When I queried about this, it’s apparently an issue in the warmer seasons. I didn’t let these flies in, so they must have been let in when cleaning the apartment.
The other issue was, the floors weren’t cleaned very well with crumbs in corners. However, the bedding and towels smelt lovely and were clean.
I would have liked flatter pillows, the once they have are way too high and caused neck pains, but this seems to be a thing in Portugal as other places I’ve stayed have a similar setting.
The shower has no proper seal to stop water from flooding the bathroom floor, other than a piece of silicone strip on the shower floor, but it wasn’t sealed down so it was pointless.
If you’re a light sleeper, it’s generally very quiet but I had an issue with neighbouring apartments with someone walking around with heels and shoes. They provide slippers! Please use them to not disturb others. Overall, a good stay and location.

I recently spent four nights at Aparthotel Oporto Sol, and while my stay was overall okay, it came with a few drawbacks.
First, the location is a bit outside the main area of Porto, which required some extra effort to get into the heart of the city. While the surroundings were quiet and less crowded, I did find myself relying on public transport or taxis more than I would have liked.
One of the main issues was the absence of air conditioning in the bedroom. During my stay, the temperatures were warm, and it made things uncomfortable at night. Opening the windows was not an option due to the presence of mosquitoes outside, which meant I struggled to find a comfortable sleeping temperature.
On the positive side, the apartment itself was spacious and generally clean. The amenities were adequate for my needs, and the staff was friendly and helpful, albeit a few blocks over. I appreciated the kitchenette, which allowed me to prepare some of my own meals during my stay.
In summary, while my stay at Aparthotel Oporto Sol had its merits, the lack of air conditioning and its location outside the main area impacted my overall experience. If you're sensitive to heat or prefer to be in the city center, you may want to consider other options. Otherwise, it serves as a decent accommodation for those seeking a quieter spot.

Just far enough from the busy crowded spots to feel peaceful, yet close enough to walk and or catch many different forms of transport.
We booked planning to use the Sauna and Spa after a busy days sight seeing. Unfortunately they had time Limits that didnt allow such comfort, but that just made us do more in gorgeous Porto itself. The garden are well kept, a lovely, and not so small, green space to sit and enjoy the sunshine.
Ana checked us in, she was wonderfully fun and full of so much helpful Information!! She gave us a fantastic, if not a little too ambitious itinerary for our short visit. And not one piece of advice Was wrong! Thankyou!!
The apartments are nice, they have a warm grounding vibe. Everything Was comfortable except our bed, but that is always relative to who's sleeping in it.
Well equipped for short stays, extra kitchen Equipment was available on request. But theres too many delicious options practically on your doorstep. We barely Even had coffee in our room.
I would gladly return and stay at Apartments Oporto Anselmo again. And recommend

Guest UserSeriously, who understands the convenience of staying right above Porto's main shopping street? The room felt like a charming European apartment, and the balcony was amazing! It was spacious, and the location couldn't be better. The staff were also super friendly! There's a big supermarket just 50 meters downstairs, and walking left or right from the hotel takes you to two of Porto's most famous churches, Capela das Almas and Igreja de Santo Ildefonso! We even walked to the main cathedral. Highly recommend it! Just note that if you're checking in after 6 PM, you'll need to retrieve the check-in code from your email.

I was quite bold to book a hotel with little information and no reviews. So let me be the first to give a review! First of all, the location is excellent. During my three days in Porto, I walked everywhere: the nearest attraction is the Church of the Holy Spirit, a 4-minute walk; there's a metro station right across the street, though I didn't take it. It takes 25 minutes to walk to the new town across the river. Basically, the furthest I went was to watch the sunset on the other side of the river. The room size matches the description, very spacious, and has an elevator! The facilities are practical, nothing fancy but all works well. The shower water pressure is strong, and the Wi-Fi speed is decent. We happened to be there during a system change, and there was no signal one day. We met a construction worker, told him, and it was back on when we returned! Finally, the staff were incredibly friendly! Thank you! You can send them WhatsApp messages. Bonus tip: the Lanzhou noodles at the nearby Kungfuniuniu noodle shop are more natural than other noodles, which are more technologically advanced and have a stronger ”raw” flavor. The best is King Kong, which doesn't have as high a rating as Niuu; the dishes are delicious, especially the fried rice noodles. The portions are small and the prices are reasonable; you can order two to try, and order more if you like them.

Guest UserVery good, very good location, see the São Bento train station and the Porto church on the front and rear balconies, all walks can be walked. The kitchen is fully equipped and can be eaten by yourself. You can see the priest tower by pushing open the window, and the night view of the Douro River is beautiful! Porto is a beautiful city where you can drink coffee, drink beer and daze!

asif_saudThe biggest issue during my stay was that the hotel took access to my ⛔️credit card⛔️. I was very disappointed and concerned about this, as I was not expecting it and did not feel comfortable with the process. Clearer information should be provided to guests in advance regarding any credit card requirements.
Another disappointment was the swimming pool. One of the main reasons I booked this hotel was because of the pool, but unfortunately it was not available during my stay. I understand this may not have been the hotel's fault, but I was not informed beforehand.
There wasn't shower gel, Shampoo, face wash only they provided Hand wash. 🦧
On a positive note, the room was excellent—clean, comfortable, and well maintained. I would rate the room 5 out of 5.
The location was also good and convenient, although not the best compared to other areas.

We stay in Porto for 2 nights and the apartment location is great, near to most of the attractions and there is supermarket nearby.
There is free parking which is great to us.The Host is great and nice.
We need to say that there is great service but not the hardware, our group is 5pax, the 5th person who stay in the living room with sofa bed, there is no curtain with a huge windows and no Air-con. The temperature is under 10c at the night time and my fd got a cold.
One of the bedroom the air-con is not heated, even the host try to fix it, it didn’t work. The host offer a protable heater finally.
We encountered a boiler issues on the first day, there is no hot water after 2 showers, we wait for a very long time to get the water heating, we need to have a very good plan on the second day to complete 5 showers. Lol
