Buarcos Holidays

Our room had some issues - leaking into our suite after a heavy rainfall, electrical panel kicking out due to faulty wiring, shower door needed to be repaired, wobbly kitchen chairs. The staff were excellent in correcting these things for us. The suites are decorated nicely, great location. But we expected more from the property owner with the quality of the fixtures that we didnt have to deal with these problems.

Excellent in every regard. Brilliant hotel. Great walk along the river into the centre that adds to the excitement of visiting Porto. Port houses within metres of the hotel makes it even more wow. Balconies and terraces and the views are wonderful. The rooms and suites are very well appointed, super comfortable bed, great shower room, the mini kitchen was excellent, the minibar and snacks on another great level of care and thought. Meal and drinks very good indeed. Service was exceptional throughout. If you cannot guess by now I entirely love this hotel and has a huge recommendation from me.

This is a beautiful and stylish hotel which feels brand new having only been opened a few years ago. We stayed for 3 nights and the team at the hotel are very professional, friendly and helpful and all of the facilities and amenities are excellent. It is very well located to visit all that Porto has to offer without feeling too touristy and the pool, spa and gym are great. We found the hotel to be very good value for a five star experience and were very impressed with our balcony room which had a large outside space and great views across the city. This really must be one of the best hotels in Porto, with the facilities of a resort hotel but the service and intimacy of a luxury boutique - look no further for a great experience in Porto.

Breakfast menu was varied and fresh but would like to have seen more vegetarian options for dinner and an earlier dining time - currently 7.30pm. Staff were wonderful and helpful; room was very clean and comfortable.

The A.S. 1829 is one of the nicest hotels we’ve ever stayed in. They did a wonderful drop working with the pen and stationary downstairs (open since 1829) to retain the aesthetics and character of the building. The room was elegant and spacious. The staff were wonderful. A 5 star stay for sure. The only criticism, and this is a tiny thing, is that the light switches are comically complicated. Very unclear which buttons control which lights and many don’t control any light at all. But all around this just made for some great comedy.
