Stayed one night at the Tryp Porto Expo during a business trip.

The rooms are adequate for a 3 star hotel, athough in a few of them some work needs to be done. The buffet breakfast is good enough. The biggest downsize would have to be the hotel's location. Very far from the city center and from any tourist attraction, this is strictly a business hotel for those going to the nearby "Exponor" or are travelling by car.

This hotel is in the vicinity of the industrial area of Porto, of the Expo ( if this is why you are there for) and of the airport. If you are there as a tourist, find something else, as it is not located close to downtown, the view of your room is very austere (as I have mentioned - industrial area). The hotel is not bad overall, not great either... A typical 3 star. The food was not bad at the restaurant, the rooms are large, however not enticing. There was a convention at the time nextdoor at the Expo, and I guess it is a good hotel for it. Parking was also available.

Stayed at the Tryp because we had an early flight home from Porto airport next morning. Booking in was no problem as we had advance pre-paid reservations etc, but our room was SWELTERING although it was November, and only about 12 -15 degrees celsius outside. We found that our room's air con controls were useless and we were quite unable to turn down the heating which was relentlessly pumping warm air into the already sweltering room.. To make matters worse, the window wouldn't open and we called the front desk. The guy - who had just checked us in minutes earlier - was suddenly surly, unhelpful and grumpy when asked for assistance with the heating problem. I assured him that it was at least 30 degrees in the room, but he dismissed our complaint and reminded me tha t I should be glad the room was warm as it is now winter! Cheeky git!

All he needed to do was send up somebody from housekeeping to sort the heating controls out, but he couldn't resist the opportunity to be a [--].

Would I stay there again ? Definitely not.
Nor would I recommend it.

A very clean and functional hotel within easy reach of the airport. Rooms are clean and the bathroom modern. The staff are polite and courteous. There is a non smoking floor (all the rest are for smokers). But I was put on a smoking floor (by mistake) but because my room didn't smell I was content to stay put. In addition to the hotel restaurant, there are 2 restaurants (which look decent) within walking distance. It is not in central Porto so you will need a car. Very rarely do flights go over head so you can get a good nights sleep. Overall a good hotel to stay at if all you want is a clean place before or after a flight.
