Find Your Leca Do Balio Hotels

Hotel located on the edge of a very noisy national road but the location is very convenient to get to the airport which is 10 minutes away and parking is free. The staff was very smiling and very welcoming. We had to leave at 4am for our plane and despite the hour they offered us coffee, orange juice and homemade cake before leaving. The room is ”in its own juice” but very clean and with a balcony overlooking the pool. The evening menu is very extensive and reasonably priced.

Just checked out from this beautiful and well maintained hotel. The breakfast was fantastic. Very friendly owner and staff. The Roms and bath are very nice. Voucher for welcome drinks is given at check-in and that was also given 20 years ago, same owner then and he still runs the hotel with the same good style and professionalism.

The spacious rooms, and very friendly and careful staff, relatively average cleaning, and at the level of breakfast quality very bad. Not quality, it is very expensive for what they offer to customers, I have visited the hotel before and continues in it, even at the level of the parking park that I have been going to the north for more than 2 years I am once in this hotel for reasons of I am working and continues.

Clean modern and cheap hotel in 10 minutes walk or 3.5€ Uber journey to Porto Airport. This is very convenient to leave. What I personally missed in the hotel were two things: 1) toilet brushes 😆 and 2) water cookers to drink coffee or tea. We couldn't have breakfast because our departure was at 6:55. Therefore, water cookers would be perfect.

Due to price and proximity to the airport, I chose to stay here for a night while waiting for my flight back to the USA. Why due to price, might you ask? Well, doesn’t 63 USD sound amazing, especially since neighboring hotels were selling in the hundreds that same night? I tried booking that young-adult discount rate online prior to arriving at the property, which I knew was only available for purchase on the official hotel site but assumed I could easily get at the check-in counter as well. The site was down or not accepting my bank account for whatever reason, even after clearing all fraud protection freezes and things like that. Please know that when I say the following, I’m not putting direct blame on the individual staff members at Stay Hotel Porto Airport. I’m putting blame on the larger system. BUT it still needs to be said. I wish the staff could have quickly given me the $63 rate at the check-in counter, KNOWING I was having trouble with the website/app and should’ve been entitled to it with a better payment method. By the time I tried and tried and tried to get the rate to go through, the $63 rate had expired and the next best option was for $81, still exclusive to the app. And sure enough, know what happened when I tried paying for the $81? Still no luck. When the clock struck midnight, all hope was lost for a cheaper rate—the app reset its prices to the next night, and I had to pay a rate of around $100 at the counter to get a room right then. A valid argument could be to ask why I’m this picky about the prices, since when viewing it macroscopically, the differences aren’t that extreme. But I was traveling on a VERY tight budget. Every little amount counts a ton. And being at the end of my trip, my finances were in jeopardy more than they’d been at any other point in Europe. So I lost out on 40 bucks, which adjusted for non-backpacker inflation is 400 bucks. Or more. The last thing I’m going to add to the unfortunate pricing situation is one where I feel arguably the most disappointed about. Yes it’s apparently company rules not to book rates over the counter that are supposed to be booked online. But I didn’t feel that sense of sympathy or apology from either of the two employees at the desk. They were kind and friendly enough, which was expected—but when something goes wrong out of the customer’s control, I also expect clear, explicit concern and care to be verbalized. I don’t think they really “cared” that I missed out on a cheap rate because their company’s app payment portal malfunctioned. One of the ladies even told me (when I asked if this was a common issue with foreigners) that this scenario occurs roughly once each WEEK, which she labeled as not very common…but I beg to differ. I’m not saying they should fix the app issue…but they should’ve given me something like an apology. Quickly to fulfill my job responsibilities as an objective and comprehensive reviewer…the room was clean and comfy, the bathroom was spacious with

Stayed four night as a base for Porto centre. Would give it 3.5 if possible to use halfs. Rooms were clean although showing signs of wear. Bed made up daily and fresh towels. Lack of shelf space in cupboard. Used for breakfast once but also tried the Mitica Inspiracao out of the back door twice for a more relaxed setting and no temptation to overfill v the buffet. Shower has good temperature and flow. Friendly and helpful reception staff. Nearby supermarket for anything you need. The bus from the airport took 50 mins during the morning midweek, and initially goes away from the hotel before heading back towards it. If I was doing it again I would take the Metro to Ramalde the nearest stop and then get an Uber to the hotel. The airport Metro is just behind the road at arrivals. Bus 304 seemed the quicker bus than the 300 or 301 into town. Had issues with bus reliability getting back from town after 8pm using information from route planner on Google maps .. chasing round various bus stops near the Town Hall Square to no avail. Ended up prefering to get the Metro back to Ramalde and then €3 for an Uber. Opted to use luggage lockers at Trindade Metro, €6 small for upto 12 hours rather than detour back to the hotel on the last day. Other sizes available but limited availability.

It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to walk from the airport to the hotel, and you have to cross the opposite road. I thought there was a free bus directly to the hotel at the airport, but later I realized that I had to make an appointment. Near the airport, it seems that this is the nearest one. After I walked to the hotel, I checked in and booked a free bus to the airport the next day. There was no food on the construction site nearby. It's safer to live here in a hurry. I remember correctly, it seems that breakfast is eight yuan per person.

Overall excellent service, clean and spacious rooms , very helpful and polite staff. We stayed for 10 nights and couldn’t ask for more. Would like to spot light wonderful Raquel at reception desk, who directed and answered any questions we had. All other staff goes extra mile too, to welcome and please their guests. Loved our experience in Portugal, very peaceful, polite and beautiful cities as well as people. Feeling safe and welcoming . Thank you all very much xxx

Next door is a large shopping mall, there are many restaurants, there are supermarkets, like to buy clothes bags can also. The hotel is quite clean and not afraid of noise. I will stay here next time.

The location of this hotel was perfect for us since it's a block from the end of the Porto yellow (D) metro line. We parked the car in the underground garage and a short ride later we were in downtown Porto. The room was modern and the largest we have ever stayed in while travelling in Europe. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The rainhead shower with jets was awesome. Breakfast was the best of our trip with several hot items as well as the other usual selections. Wifi was good and english channels were available on TV. Service was good and a nice touch was the welcome bottle of port. We had dinner one night in the hotel and this was the only disappointment. The one other table arrived after us, ate and paid their bill before we got our entree. Recommend eating at one of the neighbourfood restaurants instead. Definitely recommend this hotel.
