Crowne Plaza Hotels in Lordelo do Ouro

I arrived at the hotel on 20 November 2022 for a 5 night stay. The stay was business related and with so many hotels to choose from, I decided to go with the Porto Palacio. What an excellent choice! The hotel is absolutely brilliant - I cannot find a fault. Check-in was very smooth and on arrival to the room - wow - very modern, crisp clean sheets on the bed and a spacious room. In terms of food, the Breakfast experience was the best part of the stay for me. I have stayed in many hotels around the world - both on a personal basis and a business basis - I can honestly say that the breakfast staff at the Porto Palacio are the best I've ever come across. On arrival, I was seated quickly. On Day 1, the staff members memorised what I had that cannot be chosen by the buffet - for example, a tea and two plates (as I like two plates) - on Days 2 and for the rest of the trip, I didn't even need to ask. I was called by my Title and Surname on arrival. The whole experience was brilliant. I would like to mention a lady called Rosa and another lady (they both greet staff members at the door) - their hospitality skills are great and they are always smiling - nothing is too much for them. I didn't eat at the restaurant in the evening but had room service as personally, I like to relax after a day at the office. The food was of good quality and was tasty and piping hot. I used the gym during my stay - the gym is open to members of the public, therefore is not your usual hotel gym. It's huge - there are loads of machines and I was never waiting for someone to finish using something. Staff members are friendly. All in all - a brilliant stay and is a genuine 5 star hotel! I will return to the Porto Palacio both on a business basis and also on a personal basis - Porto looks like a great city! It's a shame that I didn't have time to look around as I had a busy schedule but I will certainly be back! Thank you!!

Klassisches Businesshotel mit schönen Zimmern, sehr freundlichem Personal (Concierge, Rezeption, Servicepersonal), gutes WLAN und für mich überraschend gutes Mittagsbuffet. Zum Frühstück gibt es eine große Auswahl, mit dem Taxi ist man in knapp 10 Minuten in der Altstadt. Wer schwimmen will, kann dies entweder im hoteleigenen Hallenbad oder im Außenpool, der sich im 15. Stock (inkl. Bar) befindet.

Bereits das zweite Mal war ich in diesem Hotel. Es gab im Vorfeld ein Upgrade auf ein Club-Zimmer im 11. OG. Normalerweise beinhaltet dies wie auch mein Status den Zugang zur Lounge. Diese war aber nicht nur geschlossen, sondern total ausgeräumt (s. Foto), so dass ich gar nicht weiß, ob man vorhat, sie überhaupt wieder zu öffnen. Leider gab es als Kompensation nicht den hier bereits erwähnten Wagen mit Leckereien. Man bekam aber das Frühstück im Hauptrestaurant dafür kostenlos. Die im 12. OG gelegene Lounge wird sonst für das Frühstück der Statusgäste genutzt. Die Zimmer im 12. OG scheinen z. T. gerade renoviert zu werden, weshalb wohl auch keine Suiten verfügbar sind. Das Frühstück war gut, die Bedienung hier wie auch das Personal am Check-In freundlich. Als Titanium-Gast hätte ich mich über einen Willkommensgruß des Managements gefreut, wie sonst eigentlich üblich. Die Lage außerhalb des Zentrums ist mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln (Metra Francks 10 Minuten, Bus 5 Minuten fußläufig) gut zu überbrücken.

Ich war noch nie daran gewöhnt, in Hotels wie Jugendherbergen, bei dem Einwohner oder sogar im Campingplatz überall auf der Welt zu reisen. Natürlich ist das Essen des Selbst zu essen und es sollte nicht anspruchsvoll sein. Ich war mit 3 Freundinnen in einem Zimmer, das auf Turns gab und wir nehmen die gemeinsamen Duschen und WC. Auf den 3 WC, niemand schloss an Schlüssel. Also, als wir ankamen, hatten wir die gute Überraschung, Haare und Haare auf unseren Fliesen zu haben. Natürlich ist das Personal einladend, aber wenn wir eine Bettwäsche (siehe Photo) auf einem unserer Matratzen gesehen haben, hat er nicht das notwendige getan. En effet, il s'est contenté de venir dans la chambre afin d'asperger la punaise de lit avec une bombe spéciale puis il l'a retiré avec un mouchoir et a seulement changé le drape du sous. Wir blieben noch die andere Hälfte der Woche in diesem Hostel und wir haben weder Bett noch Zimmer verändert, während die Punishes in den Matelas sind und daher eine besondere Intervention erforderlich. Überraschend ging ich zu den Ansichten über das Hostel und ich war weit davon entfernt, die einzige zu haben, die Punishes de lit gefunden hat. Kurz gesagt, ich empfehle Ihnen dieses Hostel nicht, wenn Sie einen guten Aufenthalt in Porto haben wollen.
