We had a fantastic time staying in this centrally located hotel. It is right in the heart of the city, on a lively shopping street, making it convenient for exploring all the sites. The room was comfortable and had a modern bathroom, with a powerful shower. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing excellent service throughout our stay. The breakfast was delicious, with a good selection of food to choose from. The hotel also had a beautiful dining room and a cosy bar, which added to the overall charm of our experience.
The décor in some parts of the hotel, particularly on the lower level, seemed a bit outdated.

Centrally located with helpful English-speaking staff. Old world charm with cozy bar and reading rooms. Great value for money and good breakfast. No tea making facilities, but overall a pleasant stay.

The hotel is located in a bustling pedestrian street, making it convenient for exploring the city on foot. It is also easily accessible from the airport via the metro. With various tourist attractions nearby and excellent public transport connections, it is a great base for sightseeing. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the bathrooms are spacious with plenty of hot water. The staff are friendly and helpful, providing top-notch service. The breakfast is fresh and plentiful, offering a great start to the day. The hotel also has a rooftop viewing area, perfect for enjoying a glass of wine.
The decor in the rooms could be brighter to create a more uplifting atmosphere.

I recently had a fabulous stay at a hotel in the heart of a popular shopping district. The attention to detail was impressive, from the welcoming staff to the comfortable bed. The basic amenities, including the en-suite bathroom with an almost impossible to use shower, were all in place. What made my stay even better was the delicious breakfast with traditional Portuguese food, which was included in the rate. At about 16 Euros, it was definitely great value for money.
All in all, everything was just ok.

I was really surprised by the unique layout of my room at Grande Hotel Do Porto. The bathroom and sitting area on one level, with the bedroom up a small set of stairs, added a touch of charm to my stay. Despite limited space for storage in the bedroom, the room itself wasvery comfy and tidy. the friendly staff and tasty breakfast buffet made my experience more fun. I would highly recommend this hotel for its great location and distinctive rooms.

This hotel is centrally located, making it easy to explore the city's historical center on foot. The rooms are comfortable, with good en-suite bathrooms and really comfortable beds. The breakfast, included in the rate, offers a wide selection of traditional Portuguese food and is of great quality.
No improvement needed, everything was satisfactory.

I had a wonderful stay at a beautiful and opulent hotel. The public areas were excellent, with fine chandeliers and exquisite furniture. The bathroom was gorgeous, and when we requested more coat hangers, the staff promptly brought them up. The breakfast was decent, although the scrambled eggs and bacon were cold on the first morning. the cold buffet made up for it with a selection of cakes, pastries, and other delicious options. The hotel's location, right in the midst of a lovely shopping area, was perfect for a weekend break. I highly recommend this hotel for its charm and beauty.

Great location in the center of the city, with easy access to all the main attractions and public transportation. Cute and helpful staff who provided excellent customer service. Clean and comfortable rooms, with attention to detail in terms of cleanliness and amenities.
The rooms were quite basic, lacking in terms of decoration and style. The public facilities in the hotel were much better than the individual rooms.

The central situation was perfect, located on a pedestrian mall in the heart of this city. It was easy to explore the city, as the hotel was in the centre of Porto and on a direct metro line from the airport. The hotel facilities were excellent, with comfortable sofas in the lobby and a lovely dining room. The breakfast offered was delicious and included in the total price we paid. But what made our stay nice was the amazing staff. They were helpful, polite, and friendly, always going above and beyond to assist us.
Nothing could have been better.

The hotel is located in a prime spot, close to many attractions and within walking distance of the city center. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing us with great recommendations for restaurants and things to do. the breakfast spread was delicious with a wide variety of options to choose from.
One downside was that our room was a bit small, making it feel a bit cramped. It would have been preferable if the hotel had notified us about this beforehand.

Lively atmosphere in October, 1920s decor, comfortable sofas, lovely dining room. Clean rooms with partnered car park. Friendly, helpful staff. Central location with easy access to key sights. Great sleep on comfortable bed. Good variety and availability for breakfast. Hotel is updated but maintains its historic charm. Convenient luggage storage and relaxing library lounge. Reliable WiFi.

The food was excellent, with a varied breakfast and affordable dinner options. The wine prices were surprisingly low, and the bar served great cocktails. The staff was helpful and the beds were comfortable. The location was ideal, with a pedestrian shopping street right outside and easy access to the main avenue and river.
Nothing, no complaints at all.
