............live like the locals!! I have no complaints about this hotel whatsoever - it wasn't advertised as luxurious, it didn't claim to have any special "USP", it is reasonably close to the city centre (quite a pleasant walk actually) and is CHEAP! On arrival check-in is swift, friendly and with a trainee receptionist is doubly welcoming. Rooms are pretty basic, a little careworn, but clean: the slightly wilted potted plant (pic2) kinda sums the place up. Breakfast is actually very good - the usual cold meats, cheese and bread: elevated by a couple of salads and hot sausages and decent coffee - for the price definitely recommended.
There are three hotels here on the same site, all three of which are 20-ish story tower blocks, originall built as worker's hostels during the reconstruction of the city. Whilst the Portos claims amenities such as shop, restaurant, bar etc. these weren't actually available at the time of my visit since the ground floor was being revamped but were available from the other two hotels sharing the site: the Aremis and the Atos. I kinda liked the lifts - these were quite bizarre: there are 2 pairs of lifts facing each other on either side of the hallway. To summon the lift you press the button in the normal fashion, then when the lift arrives a lit arrow shows which lift ISN'T there - by the time you realise this the lift that WAS there has gone and is now the one BEHIND you, on the other side of the hallway - with the lit arrow pointing to the lift which hasn't arrived yet. Now each lift can only really take 2 people anyway and perhaps are counterbalanced aqnd so when summonsing lifts from the upper floors makes for quite an entertaining 5 minutes wait as they go up and down, behind and in front of you, always just seeming to elude as you try to guess which door the lift is really behind - FUN, FUN, FUN!!
