great neighborhood rather than tourist area. near university near metro line. 1.2 mile walkable to Porto cathedral

Kristin United States of America

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

I loved the fact that it was extra-clean. My bed was perfectly made and my pijama lovely folded on my pillow. The receptionist was extremely kind in giving me all the information to know the city. 15-20 min walking from the heart of Porto and close to the metro, bus stop, supermarket, automatic washing machine and nice bars where to have breakfast. The room was essential. It is an old building and they are trying to improve it.
