Hotel berhampiran Porto School of Architecture, Porto

Hotel in zona Afurada a Porto, leggermente decentrato ma da tenere veramente in considerazione per visitare la città. Camera e bagno piccolini, ma dotati di ogni comfort. Noi eravamo al terzo piano con vista sul mare, bollitore per caffè e tè, acqua di cortesi, prodotti da bagno molto buoni, compresa una crema per il corpo che ho trovato di buona profumazione e veramente gradevole dopo la doccia. Parcheggio gratuito. La colazione è super, disponibile fino alle 12, mette a disposizione frutta fresca, yogurt ottimi di tre tipi diversi, pasticceria fresca comprese le ottime Pastel de Nata, pane e affettati, formaggi, marmellate e miele. C'è la possibilità di farsi i pancake e le spremute da soli. Tutti ottimi prodotti! Hotel 3 stelle con servizio colazione da 4. Se non si vuole prendere macchina o mezzi pubblici, si può chiamare Bolt che con 3 euro circa ti porta al Ponte Luiz da dove si possono raggiungere a piedi molte attrazioni della città che ho trovato molto bella.

Room was very clean but very small

Gostei muito da minha estadia! Todas as pessoas com quem tratamos da chegada até à saída foram muito simpáticas. Nosso quarto maravilhoso com vista para a Foz do Douro, muito confortável e limpo. O pequeno-almoco surpreendeu pela qualidade e quantidade de escolha. Produtos frescos, naturais e nacionais de excelente qualidade. Custou-nos fazer o check-out...queria que as nossas férias durassem mais dias. Recomendo e com certeza voltarei mais vezes!

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!!

Great location close to the Metro, although a bit noisy as there is construction outside and a barking next door. The rooms are tiny with minimal amenities. This is not a 4 star hotel as our package promised. Just a heads up, they charge you for extra coffee pods. Staff here is professional and very helpful-they wear many hats! They helped us book an amazing tour. Walking distance to shopping, an amazing indoor food court, and grocery stores. The breakfast room is very nice, and has good selections.

The guest house is lovely, really authentic look and feel to the place, but with modernisation in all the right places. The electric pin access doors rather than worrying about carrying a key around were particularly welcomed. Location could not be better for access to Ribeira and the Douro river front, with the other regions, wine cellars etc all easily walkable. Other than taxis to and from the airport, we did the whole city on foot and felt we saw a good amount of things to see. Staff were very pleasant and professional across the board, happy to give tips and advice when asked. Beds and rooms comfortable, shutters a nice addition to the windows and the rooms were spacious and spotless. There was a bit of road noise through the windows due to the proximity to the road and tunnel, but it's city centre hotel so to be expected, and it was very quite during sleeping hours. Would not hesitate in returning when we come back to Porto in future!

We stayed at this hotel on a bed and breakfast basis for 7 nights. The hotel was modern and clean, staff were very helpful. The room was cleaned daily and products restocked. The location was perfect for us as situated close to motorway. We had a hire car for the week so the hotel car park was great for us. Burger King was next door so handy if wanted a quick coffee day or night. The hotel does have a bar. Breakfast was scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, alongside a full continental selection. I recommend this hotel, we would certainly stay there again.

This place is actually an old motel that has clearly gone bankrupt and still tries to get naive customers to a trap. It smells of mold, there is no shower ( just a broken whirlpool ), there is no maintenance and the staff is clearly unwilling to look after the guests. To make it worse - if possible - they tried to cheat Booking pretending I was not there ( although I have my credit cards statements to prove ) just not to pay their commission. When I wrote this on the Booking review the owner was extremely impolite and aggressive , as his plote was denounced. Honestly, it makes no sense staying there even if it was for free. Run away from this joint!!

Stayed four night as a base for Porto centre. Would give it 3.5 if possible to use halfs. Rooms were clean although showing signs of wear. Bed made up daily and fresh towels. Lack of shelf space in cupboard. Used for breakfast once but also tried the Mitica Inspiracao out of the back door twice for a more relaxed setting and no temptation to overfill v the buffet. Shower has good temperature and flow. Friendly and helpful reception staff. Nearby supermarket for anything you need. The bus from the airport took 50 mins during the morning midweek, and initially goes away from the hotel before heading back towards it. If I was doing it again I would take the Metro to Ramalde the nearest stop and then get an Uber to the hotel. The airport Metro is just behind the road at arrivals. Bus 304 seemed the quicker bus than the 300 or 301 into town. Had issues with bus reliability getting back from town after 8pm using information from route planner on Google maps .. chasing round various bus stops near the Town Hall Square to no avail. Ended up prefering to get the Metro back to Ramalde and then €3 for an Uber. Opted to use luggage lockers at Trindade Metro, €6 small for upto 12 hours rather than detour back to the hotel on the last day. Other sizes available but limited availability.

good location nice staff love all things Portugal i am a solo traveler wan to visit 100 countries ASAP
