very good staff and rooms design, perfect breakfast.

We had a balcony, but it was dirty and has no any chair or table: so, totally unusable and it is very strange… Shampoo and gel seems were combined with water, so almost not usable or you need to spell more. No kettle, so in 4 stars hotel you can’t make a tea or coffee… very strange. anyway, it’s good hotel and I can advise. only a few points to be improved and will be amazing.

Breakfast was adequate but not as good as other hotels we have stayed at. The menu for lunch/evening was ok but lacked choice overall. Staff in the restaurant and bar were friendly, helpful and attentive, particularly Alexander who could not do enough for us. The bar was well stocked with all our favourite drinks. Our room was immaculate, comfortable and quiet. Good room size and balcony looking out over east Porto. The hotel was within walking distance of the centre of Porto (about 30 mins), good restaurants were available within 1km (15 min walk) and one of Porto's main train stations (Campanha) within a 5 min walk which was great for our trip from Lisbon to Porto and other sightseeing trips to Braga and Guimaraes. The nearest Porto metro station, Heroismo, is a few minutes walk from the hotel. For those who don't want to walk there is a taxi call point in reception. The hotel arranged our final taxi trip to the airport which was good value for money. There is a little park within a 10 min walk (Aguas do Porto) full of trees and interesting fountains and a great view over the Douro. The 207 bus stops almost outside the hotel and can take you into central Porto or as far as Foz.

The area around the hotel appeared to be shabby at first sight but we soon realised that this was not untypical of much of central Porto. We did feel safe, however, walking to and from the hotel.

We arrived having booked two rooms for myself and my wife, the other room for my wife's brother, whom we were visiting for the first time in five years that he had lived in Portugal. He could not make it due to his concern over the fires that were raging in close proximity to his house. Both staff members who were on reception (Joanne) were sympathetic and said they would see if we could cancel his room without charge due to the situation . The manager duly agreed and waivered the charge. We also had a room upgraded due to my room request being unavailable. We were very grateful, and the room was superb. Breakfast was fabulous, lots to choose from. We had dinner on our second night, which again was superb. All staff were always smiling and asking if everything was alright with our stay. Check in and out a breeze. Would definitely stay again if I visit Porto.

One thing was the time it took to get a drink at the bar as the staff member seemed to be covering the dining room as well, which made it busier for him. Small issue, but he was pleasant and attentive when serving my drinks.

Great value for money.Very clean rooms and really nice breakfast

Exceptional value for money, this hotel is both clean and highly comfortable. A decently sized room with a supportive bed and a spacious, modern bathroom. The hotel provides secure indoor parking for just 9 euros per day and offers a well-rounded breakfast for only 10 euros per person. While the location is outside the city centre, I recommend avoiding driving your own car into the old town due to congestion and limited parking. Instead, consider taking the train or metro. We opted for taxis, which are remarkably affordable—each ride cost us approximately 6 euros. This approach proved both efficient and stress-free.

Lovely hotel! I live locally but have a big work project and a deadline looming so I decided to book a couple of nights here as it's close to my favourite cafe, and it was a wonderful stay! I had a balcony room which was a pleasant surprise, and the room was much bigger than I was expecting from the photos. Bed was super comfy, room was very clean with a spacious bathroom and I would've loved to have stayed one more night but they were fully booked! I would definitely stay here again. The staff were also really friendly and helpful.

I will say the soundproofing isn't super great and you do hear a lot of noise at times from the corridor, but it wasn't so bad that it disrupted my time there too much, or would deter me from staying again.

Everything was great. It was further out of the touristy part of town, but it suited us as it was only 5 mins walk to the train station and we were only stopping over. We could still walk to the centre of town though. Lots of lovely bars and restaurants nearby. The staff were fabulous. We arrived early about 10.30am, with no expectation of getting our room early, but we were in by 11am. Even if we couldn't get in, they were more than happy to store our luggage.

Only one small thing. The cups provided in the room were too small for tea and there was no milk provided, but we were able to get both downstairs without a problem. I would suggest having a small milk provided as there is a fridge or long life single serve. Also, two extra cups (larger) for tea would be great.

The hotel although not in Porto city center holds a quite good location, since it's in a 2' walking distance from several public means of transportation , like Campanha suburban train ( 1 stop from city center), Metro station (3 stops from city center), as also from Train central station and Bus central station connecting with rest Portuguese cities. In 50m from the hotel there is also a bus station. Location is quiet but also safe, we returned late at night have no worries at all. Hotel in overall looks quite new, everything is very clean and well taken cared. Personell was quite helpful with fast check in and check out process, while i noticed - although not used - that they offer parking service. Our room in the 2nd floor was in top level cleaness, spacious as also with big bathroom. All towels and bed linen seemed new , smelling freshness . Several plugs, good lighting and big allowing natural light windows! Good wifi connection! Breakfast in plentiness, with several choices of good quality. We were allowed to store our luggage for several hours after our check out, till we depart from the city. In overall, we are very pleased with Oca Oriental hotel and we will definitely choose it again , upon our return in beatuiful Porto.

If something could be added, would be a tooth brush / slippers kit, although definitely not a prerequisite.

We stayed at the Oca Oriental Porto Hotel in early May on our way back from walking along the Portuguese Camino to Santiago. The location is just a few minutes walk from the Porto Campanha Train station, which made this a very convenient location, returning from Santiago by bus, and then taking the train to Lisbon the next day. The room and facilities are all very comfortable and new and very clean. In addition, the included breakfast is fabulous. Being close to the train station and the Campanha Metro also makes it super easy to get to the Porto downtown or anywhere in the area. Highly recommended!

I pre-checked in three hours early and then went out. I came back one hour before official check-in time and watched while many other travellers came in, registered, and were allowed to check into their rooms. I asked why my room wasn’t ready and they said it was just being done. I feel that given I’m a solo, older traveller and was there three hours earlier, they could have actually made my room a priority and not the last room to clean in the day. As it turns out, I did not get into my room until the dot of 2 PM, which is stated check in time. The staff did not show any friendliness towards me around this, indeed they were bordering on rude. The breakfast was disappointing. I stayed in a 3-star hotel in Setubál, which had a far superior breakfast and much friendlier staff. Yes, the room was clean and comfortable, but that is not the whole of staying in a 4-star hotel.
