Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Beautiful disigned new hotel. Luxurious rooms with elegant atmosphere. A real pleasure to stay here for a few night in Porto. Nicely priced for a quality room. Location is oké to walk to all the interesting spots in the old town. For 5 or 6 euro you can take a taxi back to the hotel if you don't like walking uphill. There's a smal nice looking indoor pool with sauna to fresh up. I just do not understand why the rooms lack closets, you can not unpack your suitcase. Compliments for the beautiful hotel decoration. The courtyard has nice trendy furniture to sit for a cold beer.

Nice hotel in the city centre of Porto´s downtown. Excellent location for tourists, not so good if you're on a business trip. I stayed during covid-19 restrictions and the hotel was not running at his maximum. nevertheless, I had a good experience. Took the Superior deluxe room with a jacuzzi on the balcony. The room seems a lot bigger in the hotel photos than it actually is. Would prefer a little more space inside but it´s ok. Liked the decoration and comfort. The big rounded mirror near the bed has an excellent TV inside and it´s really amazing how it works so well as a mirror and as a TV. The weather was not great, very cloudy and rainy, but that did not prevent me to use the jacuzzi when I wanted. 37,5 degrees during the 24h of the day. Breakfast was some kind limited due to Covid safety measures. Didn´t use the swimming pool, garden or gym but they look quite good. Parking is very easy to access although it can get full very quickly (i should say 15 to 20 cars max.). finally, the staff was very friendly (reception, breakfast and dinner staff).
On the negative side, I should point to the fact that Room Service was not available. I really do not see a good reason for that since the hotel has breakfast and restaurant service, why not just send a person to deliver it?

This hotel is incredibly beautiful, well located (near the subway station Bolhão), clean and safe. Plus, the staff is wonderful, everyone is so kind and helpful ! ​Thank you Catarina and Bruno from the reception for your amazing service, you really have illuminated our stay ! Thank you also to Sarah the therapist for the Detox massage, it was perfect (helps a lot for people having heavy legs issues during summer, has I do.)

For those who want to read more about our stay :

As you may agree, the first night you spend in a foreign city is the one that will give the tone for the rest of the holidays. Therefore, for our first night in Porto we wanted to find the perfect hotel to start our romantic trip...and we found it !!

We were staying in room 410 and couldn't belive our eyes ! The big with bed, the marble floor in the bathroom and the size of the shower, the large terrace and the hot jacuzzi, everything was stupendous. The bed was so comfortable, we spend the most relaxing first night here (also, the street is so calm that I didn't heared any noise at night).

Since I am very picky regarding the cleanliness of the room I'm sleeping in, I can tell you that this room is very clean. The immaculate white sheets smell good, same goes with the toilets and the shower, the jacuzzi water is clear and the floor doesn't have any dust.

The breakfast was very rich : a buffet offering a large selection of foods and drinks. I personally appreciated a lot the little pastries and the fruits. And the fact that the portions were so small was great because it allowed me to taste a bit of everything without feeling sick.

Finally, the pool, sauna and fitness at the level -1 were amazing ! Such wide spaces, beautiful decoration and again, everything is so clean !
The gym equipment is very complete with : a weight bench, dumbells, a machine for upper body workouts, mats, a bike and a treadmill!

To put it in a nutshell, we were amazed and we are definitely coming back! Thanks a lot BessaHotel Baixa !!!

An absolute gem of a hotel: the attention to detail, the facilities and staff make this 5 star!
We stayed for 3 nights in a suite, returning yesterday and we were made to feel so welcome throughout our stay.
Lia at reception is a credit, she kindly recommended restaurants and took her time to explain where things were in relation to the hotel.
The room was spotless and cleaned everyday with fresh towels. Rituals toiletries are made available.
Water, coffe, tea, were provided and replenished every day.
A robe and slipper were provided.
The from was spacious, with ample hanging space and 2 tvs.
The hotel decor is individual and unique and the furniture is certainly not seen in other hotels.
The garden space was a great addition and lovely for an afternoon drink.
The pool and sauna were a welcome addition and pretty quiet when we used them.
We had breakfast included and there was a good range of fresh hold and cold choices.
Every single member of staff was welcoming, polite and helpful.
The location is good, up to a 20 minute walk from all of the main areas and we liked the quiet area; it was nice to go back to the calm atmosphere.
The rooms were well soundproofed and air conditioning was effective.
The only tiny points for improvement for us would be a few more hooks needed for towel or wet swim clothes to hang. There were 3, 1 in the shower and 2 outside but with robes, we just felt a few more would help. The other thing is a soap dish or change the soap bar to a dispenser. The basin is great but we used the sponge packaging as a soap dish as there is no where else to put it. As I say these are tiny points 😁
We loved our stay, it exceeded our expectations and we would absolutely recommend this hotel.

Hotel located close to Rua Santa Catarina, Mercado do Bolhão, Av dos Aliados and Capela das Almas, tourist attractions in Porto. You can easily go to Ribeira on foot. For those who like running, in 12 minutes you can reach Estádio do Dragão.

Hotel with very good accommodation; We got a room with a double bed and sofa bed (wonderful), soft pillows and all clean bedding. I was just a little surprised that there is a counter with the sink and mirror for us to brush our teeth, which they share with the rest of the room (the shower and toilet areas are closed). The shower is very good, with cold and hot water.

Breakfast is good; It's not a colonial cafe, but it's very good.

The hotel has a really cool heated pool (the water is warm, not hot), with sun loungers for us to relax and one really cool thing: it also has 2 bathrooms where you can close two doors and have a private shower. Dry sauna.

The gym is also very good, with new and complete equipment.

Parking is paid (17 euros/day), and is on the street behind the hotel - Rua da Alegria. It's worth it, as it's more worthwhile to leave your car there than on the street, where you have to go to the parking meter and pay every two hours.

The staff is also super friendly and helpful. However, if you order room service, you are charged 8 euros just for someone to bring you some food/drink.

Also remembering that we pay a municipal tax upon check-in.

We will definitely be back.

Bessa Hotel Baxia is a conveniently located hotel to visit Porto, close to the Bolhao train station and a short walk from the city center.
The hotel has a small indoor swimming pool and a small gym well equipped.
The breakfast buffet is plentiful and varied, fruits are fresh and delicious. There is a possibility to dine in the hotel and the prices are reasonable (same as other restaurants in the city center).
We had a suite for 2 adults and a child, it was spacious, albeit not much closet space.
We would definitely book it again if we would come back to Porto.

Very good hotel with very good facilities. Good and quality breakfast with variety. Perfect beds and pillows. It had all the necessary toiletries in the bathroom, even a sponge. The only thing that was a little uncomfortable was the arrangement of the bathroom. As a space and decoration perfect but for a couple not for three people like we were. The wash basin was open to the space, the shower and toilet independently (family room). The parking is underground and safe with direct access to the hotel and with a fairly economical fee (15€ per day). Nice spa & pool area. Very convenient location, near the metro station 2 stops from the center. I recommend it and if I come again I will prefer it.

We were very disappointed to find out upon arrival that the hotel pool and spa were out of service since it was the leading reason we chose this specific hotel. After having discussed with other guests, it was known to us that the pool and spa had been closed for two weeks. Since the hotel failed to inform us before the moment of check-in, we did not have time to make other accommodations. The hotel failed to be transparent and it affected the quality of our vacation.

Furthermore, after spending a full night, without sleep, dealing with a couple in the room next to us who had no respect for those who surrounded them, the hotel refused to refund us for the inconvenience. Although we understand that the hotel is not directly responsible for the action of other guests, it is our belief that they are, in fact, responsible for what happens on their premises.

The room and the breakfast staff were very nice, but due to the lack of honesty and compliance on part of the hotel, we cannot in good faith recommend this hotel to other travelers.

Responded 22 Mar 2023
Dear Yanisme, First of all, we would like to thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. Our customers' opinions allow us to correct any possible flaws in our service and customer care. Due to an external issue outside of the hotel's control, we had to close our swimming pool, and the repair took longer than expected. Fortunately, we are happy to inform you that our swimming pool has now reopened! Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to welcome you soon at BessaHotel Baixa. Best regards, General Manager

Wonderful hotel, very good facilities and general atmosphere.
Indoor pool was very pleasant, and so was the sauna. Staff were very welcoming and our needs were met for the entire duration of our stay.
Location is also incredible, you are essentially 5 minutes away from the tourist center of Porto, and yet, you are in a very calm street, away from the masses, making this a very calm environment where we slept very well.
Overall, highly recommended and we will return again.
