Hotel berhampiran Youth Foundation, Porto

Great hotel. Has everything going for it. Breakfast good choice. Room good size . All amenities. House staff lovely and helpful. Restaurant excellent, worthwhile booking to ensure a seat. Spa and indoor pool very relaxing.

Lovely hotel in Porto. What made it for me was the rooftop area and the bar service on the 8th floor, it was so calming and peaceful. Little things let this stay down for me however, in particular house keeping. I was there for a total of 5 nights and twice I had to go ask for more water and towels. They didn't replenish coffee, or even change the dirty coffee mugs for clean ones. As I say just the things you would expect. Location was good, but not fantastic for being right in the life of things without hilly climbs.

Lovely Hotel. Stayed on the 2nd floor in adjoining rooms (as there were 4 of us) and it was right above the square so everynight we had music below us and it was delightful. The music finished around 10 or so; it did not bother our sleep and we also left the door open a little to hear the music as well as fresh air. The hotel as a nice breakfast in the morning (Portugese style) and it is extra but has a good selection of items plus mimosas The hotel is close to the train station, restaurants, and nightlife. Dinner in Porto is late (not until 7 or so) and nightlife starts late. Hotel is Within walking distance to a number of things to see although it is cobblestone, rough and uphill/downhill all the time. Staff was professional and very helpful. Really enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay again if ever in Porto.

We had a faboulous stay for 2 nights atbthe Carris Ribiera; yes we booked a Junior Suite so take on board other comments about disappointing rooms, but ours was amazing with huge window giving a panoramic view of the river, right over to thr Gaia side and the port houses beyond. It was a view you just couldn't get enough of. The location of the hotel is just perfect, one block from the river and walkable to pretty much any sight in the city. We didn't have an evening meal but we did have breakfast included which was adequate but nothing special with a good selection on cold cuts and a few hot offerings. Staff were very friendly and would definitely recommend.

location is just 5 minutes from the TRINDADE station where very good from the airport and the coach station on public transport ,all walking distance in Porto with all the public transport plus shops and bars restaurants .

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!!

Decent hotel, very clean not too far from the tourist places. All the staffs are very nice. Especially Ms. Sophia (Breakfast Buffet Area) who’s always present whenever we need anything. The room is clean, they clean everyday but they forgot to refill the liquid body soap container. Needed to ask the reception for a refill and they’re action was prompt. It’s just that it’s a bit hot (AC not so good) Overall, we had a lovely stay.

Location good with free transfer to the city center, room very quiet , restaurant very good , we taste fransesinha is one of the best dish in Oporto . We been recevi with a free welcome drink Oporto wine .

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!

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.
