Pro: located near by most of site viewing. Walkable distance to everything Cons: Cleanliness of the room- dusting on the lamps, washroom with mold, kettle has not been cleaned, room condition different from shared picture, AC not available (just fan which is not functioning) therefore room had very seriously mold, muggy smell. Humidifier was too small to work for the size of the room.

The location was great but no parking, walking to this spot is not easy. They offered welcome gift and appetizer in the booking details - but it turned out to be just the espresso machine and two packaged biscuits. I would not consider this a gift or appetizer as most hotels/bookings provide a coffee maker these days.

I would not advise booking this property for a long duration. It’s okay for one night if you’re looking for something affordable. It does not offer four star hotel accommodations. The bathroom has mold, there is no AC and it is quite noisy from guests within the apartment building due to the structure and outside due to the prime location. I went with my family and it was disappointing that there were no refills for soaps and shampoos. Disappointing there were no extra towels or cleaning service during our 2 day stay. If you’re looking for a bit of luxury, this isn’t the place. The location is fabulous and the water pressure in the shower was great.

This property is in an unbeatable location, with some of the best views in the city. However, it is becoming rundown and it need of a refresh, and could use more professional management. Some of the broken items in the room included the safe, hairdryer, single mattress (ripped), and dishes (most of them are chipped). The two men who run the place are very pleasant, but not overly helpful. For example, they communicate through the expedia app about check in, so messages are delayed by many hours and you can't check in without the messages - we had to go knocking on the locked door to get access to our room and were lucky we arrived when there happened to be someone at the front desk who let us take a picture of the check in instructions with our phone. Additionally, the room was only made up once during our weeklong stay, and did not include refills on shampoo, toilet paper, etc, all of which we had to request separately as we ran out. A few items could go a long way - such as providing more than 2 coffee capsules and 1 small bottle of water as the promised "welcome basket" for a week long stay. Loved the location, but a refresh and more attention to detail would improve the experience. It is a 2* stay in a 5* location.

We had such an amazing time at the Cathedral Design Appartments. The team was great to comminuciate with, responded quickly and answered all of our questions. The room was very clean and well kept. The surrounding area was awesome and veing close to the Porto Cathedral was a very cool experinece. This stay is a 10 minute walk from so many locations which made our stay in Porto very convenient. Wokkd definitely stay again!

Super nice front desk staff. The property is very old but made up fairly clean. Location is absolutely perfect! I had three major problems with the property. 1. There is no air conditioning. I would have never booked here had I knew that first. 2. No elevator, I had to drag my luggage to the third floor. 3. The windows were nailed shut, not only it was super hot but there is no way to escape if there is a fire. I asked the front desk to unscrew the window blockage, and I was able to open the window from there. Which is great.

Unfortunately the blurb and the actual property do not match. The apartments are nicely designed and ok size wise, but when you say premium bedding and there is a hole in the duvet cover and there is supposed to be a pillow menu but no mention in your room. The picture online also don't show that the bed is one that folds into the wall so it is not possible to have the big comfy couch unless the bed is away. And speaking of the bed it was the hardest bed I have ever slept on, I travel a lot and this was so uncomfortable that we went to a shopping centre and bought a topper to try and get some sleep without waking up sore. Sorry would not stay again.

The apartment was moderate size and a good location if you don’t mind walking upstairs or hills while staying in Porto. Midway between the riverside restaurant area and the centre of the old town. Information office next to the cathedral very helpful. A laundry was stated but not actually onsite. We had to use a laundromat. An inside restaurant is actually next door and was noisy every night as it has Fado performances. We were booked 4 nights but given only 2 coffee capsules, 2 dishwasher tabs and 1 hand soap. No tea towel. Bed was extremely hard.

The hotel staff was exceptional… They were in quick and close communication with us before I stay and throughout the stay. The apartment/hotel well, within a 10 minute walk to all the popular points of interest and right next-door to a coffee shop that opens around 8 AM with great food and coffee! If you have a car, getting to the hotel is very tricky with very narrow roads, but we got lucky and found a space right by the entrance. That may not be the case for everyone. It is definitely a city for walking versus using a car. The bathroom was very clean, with toiletries, etc. Our only complaint is the bed was a little hard since it was more of a pullout couch style, and there was some mold on the wall by the window. Otherwise, we thought the hotel was exceptional!
