Hotel berhampiran Mural do Dragão by PANT., Porto

Stayed here for seven nights on a very enjoyable trip to Porto. Staff excellent, all very friendly and helpful. Location very good and easy to find from metro station. Plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance. Breakfast good, good selection of hot and cold foods and fresh fruit. Complementary snacks in the afternoon on the roof terrace a nice touch. Bedroom comfortable, large bathroom. Only criticism is lack of wardrobe space so had to leave some clothes in cases as no room to hang them all up but this did not spoil our visit. Overall a very good stay and would recommend as a good base when visiting Porto.

I visited the bar in Selina Porto with a friend for an after dinner glass of wine. We live in Porto but it was obvious that the waiter thought we were tourists because he totally tried to rip us off. We ordered two glasses of wine and the total came to 18 euro. As a local, that's ridiculous!!! The waiter didn't bring us a menu or a bill and crumpled up the receipt as soon as the machine issued it. I called him back to the table and asked how much it was per glass as I thought it was pretty pricey, even for a tourist trap. He immediately fessed up and gave me 4 euro back in cash. I still don't know how much a glass of wine is there but even at 7 euro each, it's waaayyyyy over priced.

This is the BEST hostel I’ve stayed in, would honestly stay here over a Hilton. I booked a double private room with breakfast and was upgraded to a family room - despite not needing the extra bed, it was nice to have the extra space and not feeling cramped. The staff were amazing and couldn’t do anymore to assist me in anyway. There was an ample choice of options at breakfast, with the usual stuff found in a continental buffet. I must say the food was delicious! I also dined at the restaurant in the evening which was also delicious and VERY well priced - €12 for a meal and a drink! The room was very spacious, especially as I was a solo traveller. The bathroom was well maintained and the entire room was CLEAN! Along with very comfortable beds and passable pillows (but I am fussy with pillows). The location was perfect! Just 10-15 minutes from Sao Bento and around the corner from the river. I must say I did feel EXTREMELY SAFE both in the hotel and in Porto in general. Why would I stay here over a Hilton? For the price I paid, it was extremely well value and I must say I had a 5* experience here.

Impeccable stay at Utopian Hotels. From the second you walk in, you feel like you’re home. The Hotel and Rooms Utopian is located in a beautifully restored Portuguese home that still has some of its most beautiful original elements. The hotel is filled with beautiful artisanal furniture and a great selection of art and photography. The rooms are cozy and have all the amenities you need for a trip in Porto. Every detail was thought of. The rooms all have a FREE minibar filled with snacks and drinks for their guests to enjoy - such a treat - and the common area has a beautiful coffee machine with games and books to enjoy. Great Location Ideally located a short walk away from all the best restaurants and boutiques in Porto in a beautiful quiet neighbourhood, making you feel like a local! This place feels like a hidden gem and made my trip to Porto perfect.

Definitely not a 4 star hotel.No restaurant facilities only basic breakfast.Basic facilities throughout.The metro trains were in an open topped tunnel 15 metres from our room.(picture 2)The noise was similar to a jet taking off 18-20 hours per day.)The shower was in the room and had no barrier at bottom of door so room flooded when you shower.(picture 3)A coffee machine that had no capsules or milk or sugar.No wardrobe only 2 small drawers.(picture 4)It is an up market Youth Hostel.The 2 stars are for staff only

Arrived on a Sunday Afternoon, to a helpful and friendly English speaking reception. Whilst it was 4pm our room was not ready so they changed the allocation. Next morning we were not on the breakfast list they had not amended the room no. In addition the breakfast area was overrun with what turned out to be about 4 coach loads of people. There was a shortage of cutelry, crockery and food. I ended up with coffee in a paper cup. No hot food left at that time. Subsequent breakfast times were less busy with a little more choice. However we realised that the hotel is set up for basic stop overs on way to/from airport and coach tours, not a mid week stay like ours. The 304 bus stop right outside the hotel reception was always on time in the mornings but took up to 30 minutes to get to the centre of Porto. The return by bus was not so reliable, with busses not turning up to schedule and the last bus getting back to the hotel just after 8pm. I am not sure if there is a bar open in the evening, I certainly did not notice one. Overall this is a clean basic busy hotel and did not suit our purpose.

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!!

Accueil chaleureux,chambre spacieuse mais malheureusement pas celle prévu d'origine, nous d'evions avoir un lit Queen ou king size nous avons eu au finale 2 lit simple. Les recouches sont bien faites par les femmes de ménages. Un peu chère pour le prix mais très beau hôtel . L'eau est payante faites attention

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!

Os quartos são bons e muito limpos, a cama de casal é grande e confortável e a estadia numa forma geral foi positiva, embora tenham coisas a melhorar! Deviam de disponibilizar mais almofadas e mais 1 edredão de reserva nos armários! O caixote do lixo do WC não tinha saco, e tb fez falta um cesto para o lixo no quarto! Podiam também disponibilizar um copo para as escovas de dentes e shampo e gel de banho, pois só tinham sabonete para as mãos! O hotel é moderno e descontraido, prova disso foi o momento da saida em que a pessoa que estava a limpar a cozinha nos veio fazer o check out, super simpática, mas com luvas de limpeza molhadas .
