Oca Flores Boutique Hotel, Porto

Very central to most of the places we wanted to see and on a lovely little road with shops and restaurants

Breakfast could have been warmer

A little jewel. The street entrance from R. Da Flores does not seem impressive. Pretty tiles, simple lobby and check in area. Our villa on the 4th level was close to perfect. A lovely and spacious garden in the interior courtyard was our sanctuary. Views of the Porto tiled roofs and the Cathedral. Breakfast and bar area comfortable. My traveling companion scheduled a massage at the spa which she said was great. The location was convenient to everything. The immediate area has restaurants, bars, cafes, etc. Shopping good. Metro and local buses within walking distance. Staff was so nice and always helpful.

Only two minor things. Room electrical outlets were abundant but not where they are needed, near the bedside or sofa. The bathtub/shower lacked a grab bar and was a bit slippery. The shower head itself would not be useable by anyone over 6 feet tall without removing the spray arm. So very minor in the scope of things, but something the hotel might look at.

The location of the hotel is superb. All main sights of Porto are withing a short walk. Our room in the upper part of the property was very quiet and had a great view on the cathedral. All people at the reception were very kind and helped us with dinner and taxi reservations. During our stay we only once had breakfast at the property. The breakfast was reasonably priced and we were pleased with offered food options.

Nothing to think about.

Fantastic location. Nice courtyard.

It was in a beautiful area. Beautifully located. Lovely gardens to relax on the top.

Not enough lighting in the bedroom and no shaver plug in the bathroom

Great breakfast, amazing location, friendly staff

the pool that was promised wasn't really a pool

Perfect location and amazing hotel - lovely grounds and amazing help from staff, who were all very friendly! Breakfast was amazing, with lots of variety!

Great location, stylish

Room was a bit dark, limited availability of certain foods at breakfast

The staff were welcoming, the room was clean and kept well and there was no noise from the street.

There could have been more variety at breakfast.

Very central location close to Metro. Spacious high ceilinged apartment, clean facilities, helpful unintrusive staff. It is a lively tourist street so there was a bit of noise into the night. It is a boutique hotel so expect facilities like the gym to be quite small. There is a little bit of pleasant outdoor space on the rooftop with a bar with great night views of the city but it was definitely more compact than I had imagined from photos. I also got the impression from the listing that there was an indoor pool but on arrival it was clarified that it's more of a plunge pool. We didn't visit it on our stay in the end.

++ Great location, wonderful staff, beautiful garden, spacious rooms, we were very comfortable with 2 kids -- The room was not very clean, there were hairs in the bathroom at check-in and the glasses had lipstick marks on them :( the second bed was a sofa-bed, and was constantly coming apart, which was fun for the kids, but uncomfortable for us

Wonderful welcome, great room, and a garden with perfect views

Fantastic location, exceptionally clean. Lovely staff, good breakfast, comfortable bed, good shower.

Floor in our room a little creaky

Lovely staff, great location. Spacious room. Highly recommend

The building is beautiful. The dining hall where breakfast is served is particularly stunning.

The swimming pool should not be described as a pool. It’s more of a built-in jacuzzi. Any attempts to try to swim for exercise is unsafe due to the columns and their sharp corners.

Beautiful hotel, lovely & spacious room

The pool/Jacuzzi was cold. The room was a bit chilly, but they gave me extra blanket after I asked You could hear noise from the hallway or adjacent rooms. The hotel wasn’t busy, so I didn’t mind

We loved everything about this hotel .. the building, location, staff and food were all excellent

There is nothing that we didn’t like

The location was perfect. Everything is around 10/15 minutes max walk away. The staff was very friendly and always helpful. The room was very clean and the shower was great ! The hotel itself is very beautiful and the apartment was big with high ceilings.

The pillows were uncomfortable, they could definitely be improved. The room was not soundproof, you can hear every step from the apartment above and in the hallway, especially from the bedroom which disrupted our sleep almost everyday ( we stayed here for 9 days ). We had a terrace with our apartment, but on the first days of our stay we weren't really able to make use of it as it rained, so it would be good if there was a part of the terrace that was covered. The water in the spa area was cold which didn't allow us to fully enjoy the beautiful roman bath style pool.

Great staff, nice room, amazing location. We walked everywhere!

Flores street was loud at night and that kept me up (although I'm sure only the rooms facing the street have that problem). I also wish we didn't have to pay to use the pool/sauna.

The room was great for 2 people…….separate rooms.

After a long day of travel I was soooo looking forward to a nice deep bubble bath but the plug for the tub did not work (allowed water to drain out of tub as soon as it was put in) and when we called down to the desk for a ‘fix’ of situation we were abruptly told there was no the they could do…….so much for my deep bubble bath!

Like staying in a small apartment

Missing a kettle

Everything, location, the staff especially Ana was so lovely, such good value, we would highly recommend and they even provided a birthday treat, so nice!

Nothing

Fantastic location ,deluxe room was perfect for our family with two teenagers very comfy including kitchen and bathroom. Breakfast was nice with fresh coffee and chose of tea and testy local food .

As we come in February we experience over the night temperature in rooms drop and was cold ,aircon was not work well and we cant make chances to adjusted thermostat .

Room is great

The Only issue we encountered was a lot of ants in the bathroom.

Good location, excellent recommendations from staff

Access to sauna is not complimentary

Location was excellent - right in the historic district and 2 mins walk from the train station / metro. All major sights are only a short walk away. Staff were so friendly and helpful and the breakfast was excellent.

Slight noise from outside which was quite late on one night.

The location can't be beat, it was right where you want to be. Porto is very hilly, so having a great location made our short stay in Porto more enjoyable.

Location and facilities

Nothing

What amazing front desk staff!! Anna and her colleagues were fabulous, they are so helpful and friendly like old friends welcoming us to their home! They also look after three stray cats on the very top terrace, who have made the hotel their home, very kind!! Great views from roof terrace. We will be back to sample their exceptional customer service.

We could have done with a little table or more shelf space and a kettle but I’m sure had we had mentioned this at the time they would have fixed this!

The location was superb, we spent a week at the hotel and felt that Flores as a location had some of the best restaurants and shops by far. Very nice breakfast but the bar wasn't much to write home about but apart from that Room 501 had everything we needed and was very bright and comfortable, I would recommend

Everything was great. The room was spacious,right, comfortable and super clean with an excellent view.. The hotel is perfectly located at walking distance to almost all interesting sites, nice restaurants and cafes. The staff was very nice, polite and helpful. There was an issue with an extra that was counted twice due to a technical bug and they handled it quickly and efficiently. We would defi9go back.

Nothing to mention, all was perfect.

Best location and great staff.

Everything was good.

The room was very cosy and intimate and the hotel had a lovely rooftop terrace.

There was nothing we didn't like.

The room was amazing and above our expectations. Breakfast was superb. Central location and close to points of interest. Receptionists had very good knowledge of English. A lot of restaurants in the area.

Need to have more light in the room. Lights were a bit dim but still nice.

Great location, SPA, comfy beds, very nice bathroom, gorgeous terrace—the hotel has a very tasteful vibe. I would recommend it to my friends and colleagues. I could not have chosen a better place to visit Porto!

Lobby is a bit tiny ;-) But we can not blame it - it is a classy building

Hi. We had a great room for our family of four, nice staffs , clean room , close to the most attaractions.

Great central location . Apartment was roomy and had great facilities . Very clean and staff were great

The room was very spacious and clean

The staff was very helpful with any request we had. I would highly recommend and if we visit Porto will definitely stay again here

Location

None

Perfectly located in the old town area, extremely friendly and helpful staff that went above and beyond.

Amazing location and staff were very friendly and helpful. Good breakfast and rooms were clean and comfortable.

We were on the second floor and the gym is above on the third. I believe there is a treadmill that was used and the noise of running came through the room quite clear and went on for about 20/25 mins. Was quite annoying. Ask to stay on the first, third or fourth floors if poss.

Location, stuff, room and breakfast was good. Also cathedeal view at night was amazing.

Just the bathroom was out dated ,but spotless And I never know why but lack of toilet paper.

Fantastic location. The room is comfortable, clean. Breakfast is exceptional. On the roof of the hotel there is a beautiful garden to enjoy.

This is a great location in one of the main streets of Porto. It is central to all the main attractions so easy to walk to the cathedral or the bookstore or the bridge. Porto was a magical city to explore with so much history. Recommend to do one of the walking tours to orientate yourself - the starting point just 5mins from this hotel. Beautiful big rooms as an apartment very spacious. Also, amazing that you have breakfast in an ornate room of the previous palace.

Room was incredibly spacious and clean. Hotel is in a great location and very central. Bar and outside area was nice and a good price. Nice facilities and toiletries in the room.

We were told that the pool and spa was closed for maintenance during our stay which was disappointing and did not get a chance to use it.

The reception staff were very welcoming. The room we had was massive compared to many other hotel rooms. Room was very clean, beds were comfortable.

Only reason I gave a 9 rather than 10 is that the noises from the street kept us up for a long time, only died down closer to midnight.

The Oca Flores exceeded our expectations in every possible way! The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The hotel is lovely, and located in an excellent area. I would highly recommend it!
