We've had a good three night stay at the Olala hotel. The location is great for visiting central Porto - 15 minute walk. If anything to comment on is that the noise insulation of the rooms could be better, but the area is very quiet otherwise.

Super responsive staff via WhatsApp, nice and comfy apartment with spacious rooms. But the walls and floor are quite humid without enough ventilation. And a fan can be provided for upper floor would be much better for air conditioning supply from the lower floor.

The place was very clean, nice welcome beverages. Annoying fire alarms were lighting up all night, it felt like airplanes coming over even with your eyes closed. The building was very noisy because off the talking locks and the way it is build and they were working in the building early in the morning

Accommodation was clean but bathroom tired. Single beds were actually bunkbeds and not suitable for 3 older ladies travelling together. Getting into property not the easiest either, as code not sent. It had a hostel feel about it. Good position.

Do not book through hotels.com

Book directly through olala. Hotels.com didn’t send me any of the necessary information for check in until 30 minutes before I was checking out. There is no reception and it is a contactless check in process, so it was lucky the cleaning staff was there to assist with check in. This is an excellent property and location at more than a fair price.

We didn’t get our code until late. When we got in we couldn’t get into our room. Didn’t understand first floor is not the ground floor. The cleaning staff could not speak English but finally a staff appeared who did. Then our shower drain was not draining so we could only use it 2 or 3 minutes without a flood. We had booked the guest house in two part so the 2nd last day, we found out our door was locked and we couldn’t get back in. We would have to wait u til 3 to try and go back in. It was very unsettling wondering if we would have a nplace. The bed was comfortable and enough room.

This property needs some TLC and requires a hand rail for the stairs (safety). The place was not clean and we sent Olala photos of our complaints. The bathroom wall and door frame were separating from the floor. The shower door did not close properly so the water made the bath mat and floor wet. The floors were “cleaned” with a dirty floor mop which we cleaned to show the dirt to Olala. Being able to communicate via the internet only made it frustrating. Olala apologized for the issues but it is not the same as having someone to talk to. The photos shown on the website do not represent the condition of the property. I did ask the company if they inspected the property to check the upkeep and condition of the property on a timely basis but they did not answer. I think this place is overrated, posting a 2015 Hotels.com 4.8 rating in the entrance area is ingenious….. 8 years old is up to date. I think a lot can happen in 8 years. Do not rest on your laurels.

Heureusement que j'avais une réduction !

Quand à l'endroit, c'était très sonore, j'entendais tout ! Et compliqué de faire plus bruyant que les femmes de ménages. Le seul bon point était les draps qui était propre...
