Grande Hotel do Porto

"A magnificent hotel, with staff who are attentive, professional, and efficient (They carry your suitcases for you.) Located in the heart of Rua de Santa Catarina, the location is ideal for visiting Porto on foot and by Uber, which picks you up right next to the hotel. The common areas are luxurious and pleasant with really typical little lounges. The more than decent breakfast is served in a huge room (originally a ballroom because it dates back to 1880, it's a must-see!) A few negative remarks, following several stays, the rooms are inconsistent and sometimes a bit small. The breakfast servers tend to clear the table too quickly and finally, the hotel entrance on the street needs refreshing, the door needs repainting and the glass roof needs cleaning (it doesn't give a good image of the establishment)."

"Well located in pedestrian street - although a drawback if travelling by car, Great concierges. Lovely room with nice firm bed on mezzanine level, good shower, charming old world atmosphere (although the bar closes very early, 10.30 pm). Lovely breakfast room but the food on offer was a little dis-appointing compared to the rest of the hotel experience. Nevertheless, I hope to revisit in November."

"Very beautiful hotel with old-world charm, with very large spaces, several lounges including the one in the bar which offers cocktails at reasonable prices. The staff is extremely helpful. For a stay of several nights, I recommend the suite with its bedroom, walk-in closet, living room, and office space, which offer true comfort. Breakfast offers quality and varied products."
