to get started.

The location of this boutique hotel was perfect! It was set right on the river so there were a lot of bars and restaurants nearby and you could easily cross the bridge to walk to the port tasting rooms. The hotel was extremely clean and spacious and had everything we needed. The staff was excellent too and recommended restaurants, made us reservations, and got us settled in our room.

Gran Cruz house is an amazing hotel in a perfect location. My room was beautifully decorated (in reality it looks much better than the pictures) and very clean. The staff is very attentive and helpful and they always have the best suggestions for restaurants or places to visit. I hope to return here soon!

Monica, Austria

We loved the design details of this immaculate property. From the room there was a wonderful view of the river and window seats to enjoy the view. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice, everything made fresh to order eggs bacon whatever you want and great coffee served in the lovely restaurant. The staff were all friendly and helpful. In particular the man who checked us in was full of really helpful information about Porto. He gave us a restaurant recommendation that was amazing. We ended up in a cozy friendly restaurant full of locals and the food was excellent. He deserves a special mention for making us feel so welcome and helping to make our first visit to Portugal perfect. We definitely recommend this hotel and would happily return.

Surprisingly quiet at night inside room considering it was in busy area of outdoor dining and river walking. View of river every morning surrounded by geranium flowers on the patio made for a lovely breakfast time.

Kristina, United States of America

Everything :) the location is perfect. The room & furniture are very beautiful and well designed. The view from our room is wonderful. You can just sit and relax in your room. The staff is very helpful and arrange everything for us. We have an early flight and have to leave the place around 5 am. They offered us a mini breakfast (actually you have everything bread ham coffee tea fruit yogurt musli) at 4.45 am with the best view in the restaurant off course :)

It is one of the wonderful hotel that i stayed. I am fascinated with room decoration and view. The staff was very helpful. Located at the best place of the town.

Annoonymous, Turkey

The Gran Cruz House is a gem within Porto. Located in the best part of town, this new hotel is absolutely spectacular. The rooms are decorated with impeccable taste and the view of the Douro River is breathtaking. Everyone we met on the staff was there to help and answer any question. Breakfast was incredible in their restaurant and the overall Cruz aura and image is well-reflected and enhanced throughout the stay. Though there were many good options for our weekend there, we're very happy to have selected this hotel and will return for sure.

Porto's old town is full of crumbling pastel-colored houses. It's peaceful and relatively untouched – despite being designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it's still off most tourists' radars.

It was a little bit hard to find the door to get in at first glance since you can see the name of the hotel on the building, but if you ring the doorbell at a set of white french doors just below the steps you've found it!

Beautiful, centrally located small boutique hotel on the banks of the Douro river with magnificent views of the Dom Luís bridge and Vila Nova de Gaia with all the port wineries. Friendly and helpful staff, excellent breakfast, very pretty room, which was however a little bit on the small side. We absolutely recommend this place!
