Also close to restaurants and beautiful sites. Breakfast quality and value was definitely value for money spent. Staff were friendly and helpful. Only draw back was that the stairs might be difficult for some people as there was no elevator beyond the access to reception. ##### James B Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle May 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location, amazing staff Can’t say enough about the location of this place! Right where you need to be to walk to almost all the main sites and attractions. Very friendly service! Nice, clean rooms. Would definitely go back and recommend. One down side - very small elevator and lots of stairs. You need walk up a large flight of stairs to even reach the elevator. ##### Michelle Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Porto Gaia by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Porto-Gaia.h1091161.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Porto Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Sheraton-Porto-Hotel-Spa.h980783.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels.d6023515.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Crowne Plaza Porto by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Porto.h432848.Hotel-Information) > > [Forte de Gaia, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-The-Lodge-Wine-Business-Hotel.h57009557.Hotel-Information) > > [HF Tuela Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-HF-Tuela-Porto.h900089.Hotel-Information) > > [HF Fénix Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-HF-Fenix-Porto.h900087.Hotel-Information) > > [Living Water Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood-Hotels-Living-Water-Resort-And-Spa.h6986293.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Rosebud](https://www.expedia.ca/Rosebud-Hotels.d6345157.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Live Casino & Hotel - Philadelphia](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Live-Casino-Hotel-Philadelphia.h59917783.Hotel-Information) > > [Glenwood Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Castlegar-Hotels-Glenwood-Inn-Suites.h4603794.Hotel-Information) > > [The Yeatman Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-The-Yeatman-Hotel.h3754232.Hotel-Information) > > [Neya Porto Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Neya-Porto-Hotel.h47076995.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Québec City](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-City-Hotels.d180017.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Disneyland® Paris](https://www.expedia.ca/Disneyland-Paris-Hotels.0-l6035062-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Porto Palácio Hotel by The Editory](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Porto-Palacio-Hotel-By-The-Editory.h13417.Hotel-Information) > > [Torel Avantgarde](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Torel-AvantGarde.h19121961.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Air Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Canada-Flights.cAC.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Whitehorse (YXY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/yxy/victoria-to-whitehorse) > > [Flights from Gander (YQX) to Hamilton (YHM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqx/yhm/gander-to-hamilton) > > [Cebu Pacific](https://www.expedia.ca/Cebu-Pacific-Flights.c5J.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Buffalo (BUF) to Windsor Locks (BDL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/buf/bdl/buffalo-to-hartford) > > [Flights from St. Thomas (STT) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/stt/yyz/st-thomas-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Buffalo (BUF) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/buf/mco/buffalo-to-orlando) ### Packages > [Gateway Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Gateway.d6141167.Destination-Travel-Guides)
