Guests would return to Bolsa based on the location. They found that it was near perfect, complete with a 300 metre walk to the Duoro riverfront with shops and restaurants, and easy access to a bus stop for city tours. They could also efficiently reach a metro station that took guests directly to the airport.
A great breakfast with plenty to choose from added to guests' good impression of this hotel. The continental selection had all of the usual suspects, but with some added items like freshly squeezed juice, and a nice selection of meat, cheese, and jam.
Guests wished that every hotel could have friendly staff like Bolsa. While some guests would have liked staff to easily communicate in English, they were able to overlook this because of the great attitudes of all service personnel.
If you are the kind of hotel guest that doesn't travel lightly, this might not be the hotel for you. Some guests complained of small rooms that were at times uncomfortable for two people. Bathrooms with sloping ceilings also weren't ideal, with little space for toiletries.
A few guests staying at Bolsa commented that external noise was a nuisance. Depending where your room is located, you may have to contend with street or traffic noise. Others also weren't thrilled with sounds from fellow guests, due to what they described as thin walls.
You may encounter slow service at this hotel. While staff generally received top marks all around, a few guests found that they had to wait to receive assistance at breakfast or in the bar.
