Hotel Grande Rio is located within 35 minutes walking distance from Campanha train station - it is worth to take this fact into consideration - it is not the center of Porto but it has some advantages - neighourhood is quiet, you are in a close distance to the FC Porto (info for football fans) and there is a lot of local restaurant with good prices in the area. Staff is very friendly and there is possibility to leave your luggage after check out. We have room with four beds, there is a view on the street, small balcony is available - in this price range (about 50 Euro total for 3 persons), it was a very good deal for this standard.

I was a bit scared after I read some of the previous reviews but the hotel exceeded my expectations. Comfy and clean room, I felt really good here. Definitely recommend. Good value for affordable money. Location is also fine in my opinion, it's not directly in the centre but it's a quick Uber ride or a longer walk.

Lucia Slovakia

Everything was fine and just like in the description/in the pictures.

Agnieszka United States of America

Laza Serbia

Great staff! Gave me a useful information about restaurants in the area.

Daria Latvia

I stayed one night in this hotel and I have no complaints. The host was very welcoming and spoke good English. The place is super clean and location is very quiet. 10 minutes to the city center walk. Good value for money.

Diana Malta

Good value, Clean. Helpful staff. Comfortable bed.

Sebastien Belgium

Everyone was extremely helpful- Rui at the front desk knew we’d only be there 1 night and even drew out a route for us to take on a map to maximize our site seeing while there!

Susana Thailand

Staff was extremely helpful at the reception. Location is awesome. Price is really reasonable. Quite place, good to sleep after long drinking in the city.

very nice and helpful staff. the room was very big and had all the basics you need. very close and easy access to the center (either walking or metro) but away from the busy areas so it was very quiet at night and there was absolutely no noise interfering with a good sleep. excellent value for money.
