Mouco Hotel, Porto
Expert reviews
“A slice of Californian cool slightly removed from the heart of Portugal’s second city. The hotel is part of a larger cultural space that includes a concert venue, and takes its music credentials seriously. Meanwhile outdoor areas, especially the saltwater pool, are a real boon of staying here in warm weather.”

A piece of California in Porto
The hotel had a fun and quirky vibe. It had a whiff of California chic without the LA attitude. I LOVED the library and took full advantage of it! You could take out 5 records and 1 book a night and listen to records in your room! All of the staff were kind and accomodating and the food was great too.
It wasn't as easy to walk from the train station as I thought it would be and the pool was much smaller that I had thought. However, the hotel is lovely and I would definitely stay again!

Everything about the place is perfect.
Aircon is hard to figure out. Everything is over my expectations.

Excellent stay with brilliant staff. Thanks all on team Outsite Mouco!
Food was excellent, all staff superb. Rooms airy, clean and spacious. Housekeeping excellent.
Pool opening times were difficult to predict, some noise at night from bar customers.

Great place for short and long stays a little off the tourist track!
What a fantastic find. Up a little side street near Heroismo metro station, this property is very modern both the building and and the concept. Basically set up for digital nomads with lots of communal work areas. Room was a little apartment with bedroom, bathroom and little kitchenette and seating area. Lots of polished concrete. Great shower! Very clean! We tried the free record player and listened to some cool vinyl tunes over our stay. Staff really helpful - including helping setup the tv . They also gave us a great recommendation for a local restaurant for dinner on our first night.(Tashquinha Rebelo) The breakfast is great - 12 euro for the variety was a steal. Attended an outsite community wine tasting event which was a great way to meet the other residents. The pool is small but salt water and not chlorine and plenty of sunbeds and space to enjoy the sun. Will be checking out other outsite locations for future stays.
The lighting in the bedrooms could be a bit brighter and we took a while to work out what switches worked what lights.

Amazing!
Beautiful architecture, loved the pool and the other shared spaces! And loved the use of washing machine and dryer!
Our bathroom floor was sticky but that’s the only fault I have, and it’s a very small fault!

Great place to stay, with friends or with family.
Such a chill place, with we work kind of sharing office concept. The vinyl can be upgraded, but it’s not any issue. Staff are really nice and helpful, cafe is either decent food. There is even a stage for conference or performance at the basement, amazing

It was my first time at Mouco, but I unfortunately did not take advantage of all the place had available. Weather upon arrival was grey and cool, so I did not try the pool. There were also events during my stay, but I had other engagements. I will have to return again! I stayed in a studio with a small kitchen - everything was clean, well taken care of (though the lighting was a bit odd and temperamental), interesting design. The surrounding area has it's idiosyncrasies: many locals and immigrants, some worn down buildings. It's a 5 minute walk to Heroísmo subway station, 25-30 minute walk to central Porto (think Aliados). The staff was warm, helpful and available when needed. A good breakfast was available for 12€, I believe from 7h30 to 10h30. I think this is a great place to stay if you're planning to stay for some time, to work, or to take advantage of their social gatherings and events.

It met my needs.
A quiet location away from the centre but with good transport links by train, metro and bus. An excellent breakfast was available from a menu rather than being a buffet type. The building and furnishings can be best described as functional.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a great time and definitely booking Outsite in the future!
we loved the rustic charm style of the hotel - upon check in, it did not disappoint us! It’s perfect for music lovers as there are wide selection of vinyl records to take to your room to dance and enjoy.

Overall I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The hotel is beautifully designed and only a short 5 minute walk to the closest
The hotel is definitely unique to anywhere I have stayed before. The lobby area and bar/work areas were enjoyable to relax.
Our room featured a spiral staircase to a mezzanine style bed area. Although this made the tv/bathroom area of the room spacious, the bed area did not have any air conditioning so was very hot and uncomfortable at night while trying to sleep

Very good
breakfast on the first day took a long time to arrive despite asking 2 times and it was just granola

I love the concept and design and would highly recommend staying on your own or with friends!
Very nicely designed facilities, with terraces, garden, swimming pool and even a yoga/gym room with mats and light equipment for workouts! The breakfast was delicious and the atmosphere was very good. I had a large double for extra space, with a kitchenette and large window sill were I could sit and read.

Cool place to stay
Amazing architecture and design. Lovely outside space with a pool and yoga room as well. Room was good, minimal but nice design & good shower.
The room could’ve had more to make us comfortable. It was super minimal and quite dark. The breakfast was okay but there’s no flexibility in the menu.

Good for a Night Before Taking the Train
Attractive building including spaces to work and a small pool. Very nice cafe with a good menu, especially for breakfast. Room quite large and fittings modern.
Convenient for the Porto Campanha train station, but not so near the historic centre. Lighting in the room was not good, and there was no shade on the window.

Great experience in Porto
Great hotel, very charming and cosy with music theme - lending music instruments and records. Great atmosphere and nice staff.
Location - it is not walking distance to the main touristic points. It is close to a subway station and train station
