Guest Reviews
Location
Guests appreciate the hotel’s calm atmosphere and the ability to relax after a day of sightseeing. The property also includes a bistro for breakfast and small meals, contributing to its appeal as a comfortable and peaceful space. Although the surrounding neighborhood has been described by some as less charming and somewhat remote, its accessibility via public transport alleviates potential inconveniences.
Proximity to essential amenities such as shops, supermarkets and metro stations further enhances the location's practicality. For travelers who prefer not to stay in the densely packed central areas, this hotel offers a balance of quietude and connectivity, making it a good choice for a city trip without being in the city's heart. While there are comments about the area being slightly unpleasant or lacking charm, the overall accessibility and peaceful environment provide a pleasant experience for many guests.
Breakfast
However, some reviews point to areas needing improvement. The hot selection often arrived lukewarm and coffee quality received mixed feedback with calls for a better coffee machine. There were comments about a lack of variety with some guests noting repetitive choices and the absence of certain items like raw vegetables or cereals. Additionally, a few reviews mentioned that breakfast was not always included in the stay and came at a higher price, which some felt was not justified by the quality and variety offered.
Despite these issues, many guests found the breakfast satisfying and good value for money, enjoyed in a pleasant and well-decorated environment. The staff's friendliness and the ambiance of entertainment also contributed positively to the breakfast experience at the hotel.
Dinner
Despite these positive experiences, there were some criticisms. Issues such as high prices, tough meat and slow restaurant service detracted from some guests' experiences. Additionally, there were complaints about the limited breakfast variety and the unwelcoming setting for it. Some guests had to seek dining options outside the hotel due to these limitations or when the restaurant was closed.
The vibrant bar with DJ sets and the lively atmosphere was appreciated, though there were moments of disorganization when the crowd increased. While the food was mostly good, particularly the vegetarian dishes, a few guests found some meals disappointing and overpriced. Overall, the dining experience at Outsite Porto Mouco was generally positive but varied depending on individual expectations and specific circumstances during the stay.
Rooms
However, there are several recurring concerns. Some guests report that certain rooms can feel small, dark and cramped with poor lighting and insufficient natural light. Noise can be an issue, especially for rooms facing busy areas or the pool. A few guests also mentioned that the soundproofing could be improved. Additionally, specific rooms are criticized for being stuffy or having issues with air conditioning and heating systems.
Despite these few drawbacks, the majority of the feedback points to a well-maintained establishment with super comfortable and clean rooms that cater to both comfort and style. The hotel’s thoughtful design, spacious layouts and added conveniences like kitchenettes and comfortable bedding make it a favored choice for many travelers.
Beds
However, the reviews were not unanimously positive. Some guests found the beds to be too hard or firm, while others felt they were too soft, indicating varying personal preferences. There were consistent mentions of beds being too low, especially for elderly guests and some beds were reported as smaller or narrower than expected, leading to discomfort for certain guests.
The platform beds, in particular, garnered criticism for being inconveniently low and there were occasional complaints about creaky beds and uncomfortable mattresses and pillows. Despite these concerns, the overall ambiance of the rooms was frequently praised for being comfortable and cozy with beautiful furniture adding to the positive experience.
In summary, while Outsite Porto Mouco has garnered praise for comfortable beds in multiple reviews, potential guests should be aware of some variability in mattress firmness and bed height, which could affect their stay depending on personal comfort preferences.
Cleanliness
The property, which looks brand new, maintains a sanitary environment with both private and shared spaces receiving praise for their immaculate upkeep. Guests highlight the thorough and impeccable cleanliness throughout, noting that rooms are cleaned daily, which enhances the overall experience.

Wi-Fi
However, not all experiences with the WiFi are ideal.

Despite some inconsistencies, overall feedback highlights a generally positive WiFi experience, paired with the convenience of additional technology like a provided smartphone and a tablet for information and communication. The service from the hotel staff, described as friendly and helpful by guests, further enhances the overall stay.
Pool
However, there are notable critiques. Some guests found the pool to be dirty or the water cloudy, which detracted from their experience.

The nearby music and opportunities for relaxation add to its appeal, making it a cherished spot for winding down after a day's activities.

4 Star
However, there was a recurring sentiment that the amenities offered were limited for a hotel of its rating. Hygiene products and certain services were found wanting. Breakfast, though generally well-regarded, didn't fully meet the standards associated with a four-star hotel. The pool also left some guests underwhelmed.
Despite some noise issues from traffic, the hotel maintains a beautiful, eco-friendly ambiance that leaves many guests content. While reasonably priced for the amenities provided, some found it a bit pricey compared to other four-star hotels, particularly given the lack of extensive features. Overall, Outsite Porto Mouco offers a modern and comfortable stay but might need to elevate certain aspects to fully justify its four-star designation.
Business

The mix of good business facilities and a conducive work environment ensures that this establishment remains a strong contender for business travelers seeking both comfort and efficiency.
Accessible
However, there are some limitations, such as a 15-minute walk to the center and some areas that are not well-designed for accessibility. Additionally, the site is not bike-friendly and could be better marked for easier navigation. Despite these minor setbacks, the eco-friendly hotel provides a generally easy and accessible experience for visitors.
