Not 5 star. No Teamaking or trouser press, unusual given the volume of business types who use it. Charge for car parking, can you believe it ? The broadband service is expensive and only available on the ground floor....so much for Wifi access. The bar and restaurant prices and ludicrously expensive, especially when the hotel is surounded by bars, cafes... more

Just returned from Porto having stayed at the Ipanema Park. After doing my usual "research" i realised that the hotel was miles from the city and had very little to offer in the immediate vicinity but decided to book anyway to experience the 5 star luxury offered at the remarkable price of 123 euros for 2 nights. Big mistake. We... more

Not everyday do I or can I afford to sleep in a 5* hotel in Europe. Taking advantage of an Internet price in a kind of offish season time I decided to go for it. The hotel has all the makings of a 5* hotel. Starting from the unshakeable bellboys at the entrance, through its huge lobby, its vast number... more

Firstly this was my 6th trip to Porto and i wanted to stay in a different area to before - having never stayed in the Boavista area and not needing to do the tourist trail again i plumped for the Ipanema Park My decision was Mainly based on price & facilitys . I got this hotel for 116 euro's for... more

Stayed for 7 nights August 2008. Hotel nicely decorated and rooms large and well furnished, good bathroom with plenty of toiletries etc. The staff were helpful and professional. Excellent breakfast, large selection. However the room walls are thin and so you get plenty of noise especially with families. Not what I expected from a 5* hotel. Also questionable area with... more

Ipanema Park is a true 5 star hotel: nice room and bathroom, daily change of bed linen and excellent attention. For 54 euros per night including buffet breakfast it is a real bargain. The only disadvantage is location but several buses run from the hotel to Porto's town center and rooms have a good view of the beach. Finally, prices... more

Presumably the rate I had of €69 per room per night reflected the fact that it was November, but what an absolute bargain. Questionable whether it is worthy of 5* but certainly a good 4*. The decor and facilities provided certainly reflect this. An excellent spa facility - small gym, indoor and outdoor pools (the later being on the roof,... more

I stayd recently on a business trip for € 69 incl. breakfast. I booked a non-smoking room which was confirmed by the check-in but no non-smoking sign and 2 ashtrays in my room. The furniture was pretty new but the carpet had staines and was filthy. Shower was covered with limestome sowere the tiles in the bathroom. No ventilation in... more

I paid €68 for a room I enjoyed. The hotel is fine but by charging such low rates they attract a crowd that would not afford it if that same hotel was located in any other european city!! The included breakfast was very fine and the roof-top pool was great (free). I did not use the hotel parking as it... more
