The room was very comfortable and we had a lovely view of the courtyard, pool, and Douro River. The staff was also very lovely. In fact, when you check in, you're given a delicious glass of Port - it's a charming touch.

Katsuaki, Japan

Spectacularly beautiful old palace. We loved that there are areas of the walls not yet restored that really show the history. Kind of hope they are left as they are. Juxtaposition of contemporary art with old architecture works amazingly well. Superb breakfasts, very good dinners all with attentive waitstaff Very helpful, friendly staff all around. Steam room and pool were great.

United States of America

“This restored palace on the river opened in 2003. It is astounding -- world class service, facilities, and food. The staff in very attentive without being intrusive; they truly treat you as a "guest," not another credit card. The restoration was executed with care showing off a historical gem with all very modern amenities. There's an infinity pool and a spa in which to relax, should you need it after enjoying the sights of Porto (don't forget to include the Port!).”

눉Pigeons dominating the pool area and drinking the water, while there were guests in the pool. Twin beds pushed together when we asked for a double bed. The breakfast was disappointing and a lot of the hot items were tasteless. Could not sleep with the window open due to extremely loud noise coming from the hotel events, as late as 3.30am.

“While it was comfortable, it lacked charm.”

눉The location of the hotel is actually quite awful. It's located in a very rundown area of Porto that seemed a bit dodgy and unsafe. The photos of the hotel are actually a bit deceiving, while everything is just as beautiful as you imagine everything is a bit smaller than it seemed in photos. Lastly, the hotel has a very corporate feel. During our stay there was two conferences taking place. It definitely takes away from the magic and charm.
눇The room was very comfortable and we had a lovely view of the courtyard, pool, and Douro River. The staff was also very lovely. In fact, when you check in, you're given a delicious glass of Port - it's a charming touch.

눉The hotel, decor, service and facilities were excellent and exceeded expectations. We were prepared to pay the extra cost for the hotel for the comfort, attention and facilities. Mattresses are too soft with hard/no upper layer. Better to have firmer beds with thin cushion layer for ultimate comfort and healthy sleeping. Spa treatments were excessively expensive. Access to the indoor pool required a swim cap, which was offered 5 Euro. This charge is unnecessary and "cheap".
눇Food/breakfast was excellent, as was dinner. Service was prompt and attentive and all personnel were exceptionally polite and went out of their way to please. Rooms spacious and hotel facilities were good.
