Art Senses Suites & Rooms, Porto

Great renovation and surprising breakfast

The beautifully designed Art Senses was one of the best hotel experiences of my life. In feel it is somewhere between a boutique hotel and a gorgeous (but very livable) luxury apartment. The airy and well-equipped kitchen, and stunning private terrace, which I usually had to myself, make it seem as if your actual room is just the bedroom of a much more extensive residence. Everything is elegantly and also very thoughtfully designed, so that it is both luxurious, subtly impressive and yet comfortable. The architect who designed the place should get an award! The concierge who checks you in/out and cooks and serves your (enormous and super-tasty) breakfast is wonderfully kind and makes you feel as if you have your private butler. I tremendously enjoyed the extensive outdoor terrace, with its modern hammocks (like a suspended eggshell), gazebo, mesh loungers and outdoor dining table, particularly over a glass of wine that was so easy to pick up from the mini-supermarket just downstairs (which the hotel is amazingly sound proofed from, so I heard nothing of it and even on the terrace, very little street noise). The rainhead shower was correctly constructed (many are not), and the bathroom very spacious and inviting. The airconditioning was strong but super quiet. There is even a Nespresso machine not only in the kitchen, but in your own room, god bless 'em. Every single part of my two night stay was simply a joy. Don't miss out on staying here if you're ever in Porto.

Note: They don't have lift. So need the carry your Luggage up. But the friendly lady did offer to help. And other than that the Hotel is as perfect as it can gets. Location: 3mins walk from the metro. Located beside a Supermarket. Room is huge, with Free in room snacks and Nespresso making machine. The Bed is the Big and comfortable. Nearly wanted to stay another night in Porto because of the amazing hotel. Breakfast is Simple and Nice. A must stay hotel in Porto. If I am not wrong, they even have a few private parking lots nearby.

The hostess was INCREDIBLE! Very helpful, welcoming, professional, and kind...even brought me to another local place when I got food poisoning. Very beautiful, reasonably priced and comfortable place. Extremely unique and soothing and so easy and cheap to access the center of town/river!! Need to come back to Oporto just to stay here and hang with hostess!

We visited Porto for a short city break. Art Senses Suites and Rooms are wonderful. Beautiful rooms, warm welcome, very friendly and handy for public transport. The bus to the centre goes from the same stop as the airport bus. The airport bus stops on the corner coming into the city and you catch it back from outside the hotel.
