Richard, United Kingdom

Great location! Historical beautiful old upgraded hotel! All staff amazing! Rooms clean and comfortable and nicely decorated! Breakfast was excellent and the room spectacular with classical music playing in the background... no CNN so peaceful and lovely 👍👍

Mostwonderful, Canada

Beautiful lobby, hall, Windsor Bar and restaurant. Very nice and super clean room, lovely breakfast too. Really enjoyed my stay!

Ek3113, United Kingdom

The common parts of the hotel are very plush and richly appointed in an old-school "grand hotel" style, which is appealing. The staff were friendly and helpful. The central location is excellent and there is convenient and cheap parking.

Jonathan, United Kingdom

Loved being put in a bigger room. Loved the bar and the bar area

Rachael, United Kingdom

Great location, recently renovated rooms, excellent breakfast and friendly helpful staff

G, United Kingdom

The breakfast was excellent. We had dinner in the restaurant one night and that was delicious, the staff were very attentive.

Patricia, United Kingdom

Located in the center of Porto, on a pedestrian street. Near metro station and easily access to some tourist sites by walking. There are many choices in breakfast which is delicious. Really like the decoration of hotel.

Yancheng, China

The breakfast and all meals are served in the grand dining room, a very elegant setting. There are many choices for breakfast and the fresh fruit was especially good. The rooms are old and plain but with updated new bathrooms that are very good. The hotel sitting rooms and the bar are traditional and simply elegant. You can feel you have gone back in time perhaps 100 years ago. We sat for several hours and read books and the newspapers, watching guests come and go in a wonderful setting---on a rainy day. The rooms were warm enough for cooler temperatures. The location is fantastic, close to many good restaurants and walking areas. But the food service in the grand dining room is quite good especially on a rainy day.

M, United States of America

Excellent location and extremely helpful staff. Good food and interesting public rooms.

“If you get a renovated room, this will be a good choice.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉I understand the rooms are under renovation floor by floor. Unfortunately, we had a room which hadn't been renovated and it wasn't especially nice. Spacious enough and reasonably clean, but very tired (visible rot/mould staining on wall!) and rather spartanly furnished, which contrasted rather too obviously with the lavishly appointed foyer and common parts.
눇The common parts of the hotel are very plush and richly appointed in an old-school "grand hotel" style, which is appealing. The staff were friendly and helpful. The central location is excellent and there is convenient and cheap parking.
