Hotel berhampiran Galeria Comercial Mota Galiza, Porto

The Portus Cale Hotel exceeded our expectations. It was spotlessly clean everywhere. Our room was quiet snd spacious, the bed was very comfortable with nice bed linen and good pillows. The bathroom was huge, the water was always hot and there was Dove hand-wash and shower gel. provided. The air con was very quiet and efficient. There was a small fridge and a kettle (take your own tea bags and coffee). The double glazing was very effective and blocked out the street noise below. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. We were room only so can't comment on the breakfast. There are 2 large supermarkets 5 minutes walk away. There's a lovely tea room next door, open to 11 pm, selling cakes and light meals. It's very popular with the locals. So is the little grill restaurant next door, and there's a nice Italian restaurant 5 minutes walk away. Although it's a 45 minute walk to the historic centre of Porto, there are many regular buses from virtually outside the door, and the Casa Musica metro station is just 10 minutes walk away. The bus fare is 5 euros for 2 people no matter how far you go on the buses. The buses are cash only unless you've bought a travel pass. The nearest beach (Praia Inglesias) is a short bus ride away. We would highly recommend The Portus Cale Hotel and we preferred its location away from the noise and crowds of central Porto.

Porto has always been rated highly so was a little concerned that the Novotel was on the other side of the Douro River. Quickly dismissed on arrival when we were greeted at reception by Aderito Diaspora. A most charming man who made every one signing in to the hotel feel very special - being multilingual helps. Free with advice on what to see, what and where to eat and the best places for shopping. A trip into Porto was a little as €4 and never more than €10 and this included a ride to beautiful shopping complex of El Conte Ingles. So leaving the hustle and bustle of Oporto to the calm of Afurada was a plus. The suggestion to walk down to the quaint fishing village of San Pedro with an Uber to take us back was greatly appreciated as we were able to see the Uber coming right up to our restaurant table. All hotels should have an Aderito Diaspora.

I arrived at the hotel on 20 November 2022 for a 5 night stay. The stay was business related and with so many hotels to choose from, I decided to go with the Porto Palacio. What an excellent choice! The hotel is absolutely brilliant - I cannot find a fault. Check-in was very smooth and on arrival to the room - wow - very modern, crisp clean sheets on the bed and a spacious room. In terms of food, the Breakfast experience was the best part of the stay for me. I have stayed in many hotels around the world - both on a personal basis and a business basis - I can honestly say that the breakfast staff at the Porto Palacio are the best I've ever come across. On arrival, I was seated quickly. On Day 1, the staff members memorised what I had that cannot be chosen by the buffet - for example, a tea and two plates (as I like two plates) - on Days 2 and for the rest of the trip, I didn't even need to ask. I was called by my Title and Surname on arrival. The whole experience was brilliant. I would like to mention a lady called Rosa and another lady (they both greet staff members at the door) - their hospitality skills are great and they are always smiling - nothing is too much for them. I didn't eat at the restaurant in the evening but had room service as personally, I like to relax after a day at the office. The food was of good quality and was tasty and piping hot. I used the gym during my stay - the gym is open to members of the public, therefore is not your usual hotel gym. It's huge - there are loads of machines and I was never waiting for someone to finish using something. Staff members are friendly. All in all - a brilliant stay and is a genuine 5 star hotel! I will return to the Porto Palacio both on a business basis and also on a personal basis - Porto looks like a great city! It's a shame that I didn't have time to look around as I had a busy schedule but I will certainly be back! Thank you!!

Posizione privilegiata vicino a tutto, anche a Gaia, sulla riva opposta del fiume raggiungibile tranquillamente a piedi. Ottima accoglienza, personale gentile e disponibile. Buona la colazione sia dolce che salata, nello stesso locale c'è un servizio ristorante e, a volte, c'è musica dal vivo. Solo la pulizia è migliorabile ma anche così è più che accettabile. Avevamo una camera familiare all'ultimo piano con vista suggestiva sul Ponte Dom Luis I e Gaia. Straconsigliato!

The hotel is located next to the TRINDADE metro station which leads to the airport and which connects the différents metro lines which is very practical. The staff is of high quality and very welcoming and friendly. I have already stayed in this hotel in 2020. The room is very clean and well appointed. I recommend this hotel

The facilities are great and very modern. The breakfast was amazing and had, in fact, a big variety of choices.

Outdoor pool for hot days amazing, restaurant with tasty food and drinks. we bought a boat trip to the 7 bridges, the reception arranged the trip for us. room very clean, we stayed for 4 days and the room was already clean when we arrived

Porto hotels prices are quite expensive. On our recent visit there we decide to spend a couple of days in this hotel, so to see the off center attractions.The room price was very fair. The hotel is quite modern and also simple. Nice rooms and very clean too. Complimentary continental breakfast is served in buffet style. Actually there is not a true bar, but a ”bar corner” which is OK for a couple of beers or some wine. As we had a car, we are not able to comment on transport connections.

Emplacement très proche de l’aéroport. Le parking est top les places sont très larges donc pratique pour décharger les valises. La chambre est spacieuse et le lit très confortable. Le petit point négatif c’est la douche et les toilettes qui sont séparés par des vitres transparentes donc niveau intimité pas top. La personne aux toilettes est visible du lit haha ! Le petit déjeuné est agréable mais pas non plus extraordinaire. Juste le nécessaire sans plus.

El hotel está ubicado a unos 20 minutos de Oporto. Bien comunicado con bus casi a la puerta y perfectamente si vas en coche. La limpieza es extraordinaria, tanto en las habitaciones como en el resto de estancias. La lencería (toallas y ropa de cama) de muy buena calidad. Estupendo tener aire acondicionado en la habitación. Todo el personal muy amable en todo momento y dando solución a nuestras consultas siempre con una sonrisa (pisos, recepción, buffet) El desayuno correcto. Un gran detalle hacer un guiño a la gastronomía portuguesa ofreciendo pasteles de nata. El parking cerrado y gratuito también es un plus a valorar. Me gustaría felicitar por la gestión del establecimiento y a todo el personal que lo hace posible. Se nota todo el trabajo que hay detrás para que los clientes nos sintamos así de bien. ¡Enhorabuena, equipazo!
