Hotel Central Parque

Very handy for the airport when you have an early flight and free parking outside hotel which is a bonus. Only minutes from a metro station where there are frequent trains to central Porto. Extremely comfortable beds and good breakfast.

All staff in the reception and the bar spoke very good English and were most helpful.

Were asked to put our car in the hotel garage which has very difficult access, narrow, curved and steep and caused damage to car on exit. Would normally have left car in the road outside the hotel but during our stay the road was being dug up and we had to move car. Staff were excellent in trying overcome the problem.

They had a great breakfast; nice firm beds; good lighting; near tramway; and nice to have a hair-dryer. Very quite hotel.

The staff was very helpful and friendly, the breakfast was very good and with great variety, the room was very good with enough space to move around, as was the bathroom.

The only thing that "bothered" me, although its probably like that on most hotels, is the shower has a bit too low flow for my taste. The access to the garage is quite difficult for big vehicles, however I got a parking spot right at the front of the hotel in its reserved spots. Besides this two places to park, they also provide parking on a private parking lot around 50m from the hotel, however it closes at midnight. If you go during the weekends you have lots of places to park around the hotel, during the weekdays the problem are the parking meters (during the weekdays you have to pay from 8h to 20h). However, I stress that I didn't have any problems with parking.
