And then there was the BEST breakfast in Portugal “

Amazing interiors and staff - great location. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing Location, tasteful design, high confort, lovely and careful staff.

The Gran Cruz House is located in the Ribera and right on the river - could not be more central to everything. This is a very small property - only 7 rooms. Ours was the “White Room” which is on the top 6th floor and was a lovely (if not spacious) room. Well appointed in general. Great views over the river front. There were only 2 issues we had about the room: 1. The bathroom was relatively small and could not accommodate 2 persons at the same time 2. There was no coffee maker/Nespresso/Kureg machine in the room. If you wanted a coffee however the reception desk would get one for you from the restaurant. The folks running reception were exeptional - lead by Bruno. Totally helpful in every way. The area near the property is quite active, but the windows kept significant noice away from bothering us.

Terrific hotel and location. The breakfast every morning was really fantastic. The staff were excellent. Everything was perfect! We'll definitely be back. Just a really beautiful hotel and location. PERFECT!

The room was beautiful with amazing decor and a great view. The bed is super comfortable and the bathroom is great. The breakfast was amazingly delicious as well as the dinner. The staff was incredibly accommodating and helped us find all sorts of local places to eat and drink and helped surprise us with honeymoon wine and snacks. A completely incredible stay. Shout out to Bruno, Michael, and Sofia for being so wonderful.

This hotel is very small but quite nice, with quirky interior touches. It was recently renovated and they did a good job. Loved the murals painted on the bathroom doors! The room and bathroom were spacious enough, the bed was very comfortable, and the breakfast options were good. The front desk staff were very helpful. The location is really excellent with a lovely view across the river and it is surrounded by many restaurants and shopping areas.

A wonderful home to stay in Porto, we are already planning our next visit, for sure we will be back in the Gran Cruz House! Thank you for being so helpful with any question or advice we asked for

The hotel is fairly new. Our room on the 5th floor had a nice view of the river. The room was not huge, but it was a nice size, and comfortable. The breakfast was included daily, and was nice as well.

This was an outstanding experience and wonderful surprise to find such a beautiful boutique hotel in Porto. The restaurant was one of the best experiences from the service quality to the exceptional food.
