to get started.

Very beautiful and charming hotel, centrally placed in the town. Very clean. Very comfortable beds. Charming staff.

Henrique, Portugal

Location best possible - not only on center but only a 6 minute walk from/to the Sao Bento train station - and I got one of the duplex rooms which was an extra attraction.

Joao, Portugal

Great location, renewed room with double deck (bed and TV are upstairs), good breakfast

Tiagolordello, Brazil

Excellent central location and staff across all areas of the hotel were most helpful

Alan, United Kingdom

Breakfast is superb! The staff and facilities excellent.

Maria, Brazil

everything was perfect - loved the breakfast including the beautifull location

Cristiano, Brazil

Lovely place with pleasent stuff. Location is really in the center of Porto but rooms are quiet, no noise from outside. Public transport near the hotel so you can travel around Porto without any problem.

Marina, Ukraine

The hotel was in a perfect location and was warm and comfortable. The public rooms were very attractive and old fashioned. All the staff were excellent and nothing was too much trouble. The reception staff were very keen to help especially Christina who was a little gem ! The evening waiting staff were very friendly and made the experience delightful. Full marks to Manuel. Bedrooms were basic but very clean and housekeepers were very proficient even turning down the bed -covers at night. Bathroom was spacious.

Rosalind, United Kingdom

The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The location was great, rooms were clean and spacious, and the breakfast included was what you'd expect from most continental hotel breakfasts - very nice.

Ukjan16, United Kingdom

Very good central position Comfortable room Good breakfast choice

Michael, United Kingdom

눉Tiny rooms and poor decor. 2nd floor painted dark brown which Made the place dark and depressing. Rooms painted brown too and minuscule. Breakfast quite limited and food of poor quality with limited choice. Staff at reception moronic and not helpful when enquired about room and a possible change due to its size and decor.
눇Location. Very central and near restaurants and shops

“Pay A Little More and Stay at Another Hotel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Basic Double Room
- • Stayed 5 nights
눉Horrible bed...awake first night with pain. Mattress topper added but was king size on a double or queen bed and hung over the side right to the floor making it dangerous to trip over during the night as it took up all the space between the bed and the wall.....very small room. Ugly renovation of floors above entrance rooms (which are very nice and very grand) Bath and shower combo meant climbing into tub for a shower. Awful tv reception and channels. Internet below par.
눇Breakfast included and was very good, lots of choice of hot and cold, fresh fruit and juices, baked goods, eggs etc. Handy location opposite Majestic Cafe

“Good location in Porto, close to shops, restaurants, metro and local sights.”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Basic Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눇As others mention, this hotel is quite grand downstairs, but the rooms are quite standard and basic - but it's not expensive so you can't expect grandeur throughout! Staff were helpful. I didn't try the restaurant, menu was fairly short. Some refurbishments ongoing on ground floor and above 2nd floor, but I didn't hear any noise from these. If you arrive by metro take a while to orientate yourself - maps and street names aren't abundant and I took a somewhat circuitous route! Breakfast was good, fairly standard buffet style.

- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Twin Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉Grand stops on ground floor. Expensive. Not 4 star when compared to other hotels we stayed in.Room allocated small and dingy and had a lot of noise from floor above. Hotel under renovation which I wasn't aware of. Was moved upon request to newer room ( loft style) but bed bed only a small double so not sure what was worse. Stairs to bed which may not suit a lot of people.
눇Hotel entrance, front desk, and ground floor impressive. Grand and historic in appearance. Staff at reception friendly and helpful. Moved rooms without a fuss to a quieter room. 3rd floor better if you are a light sleeper. Location good if you like shopping but about a 15/20min steep walk to waterfront which may not suit everyone. Taxis are cheap and plentiful though. Plenty of cafes, restaurants etc nearby. Breakfast ok.

눉Had to move twice. Electric in one room kept turning off. Shower water cycled ice cold to blazing hot while in use. Whatever you do do not take their loft room and make sure you don't book their standard room which is hardly bigger than the bed.
눇Tried to resolve problems. They did deduct one night cost. Scrambled eggs were good. Nice breakfast. Zara is across the street.
