Great location. Close to the city centre. Note that there is stairs to walk up to the reception and they take your keys to leave at reception when you leave the hotel for the day. Concierge is 24/7 and very helpful. ##### Rona Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian Apr 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very nicely renovated.

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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mr. Francis J Apr 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Central location close to the train. ##### Mr. Francis J Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Patricia Apr 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Easy access to eating, shopping and transportation. ##### Patricia Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Deborah Jun 3, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities There were 20 steps to go up to the property. Cramped room Window at back over fire escapes etc. air conditioning only worked when light was on ##### Deborah Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Brian Oct 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hotel located in the cebter of the city. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Most tours start 2 blocks from the propertt which is very convenient ##### Brian Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great location near Sao Bento train station and other nearby attractions within walking distance. Note that there's about 27 steps up to check-in with a lift for handicap only and then a regular lift, albeit small, for floors above that. Porto is built on steep hills, so it requires some energy, with funiculars, etc. to make it easier in some places. Nevertheless, it's definitely a more than worthwhile place to visit for a few days, with side day trips to Guiermaes and/or Braga also worthwhile. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael Feb 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Did the job Room was clean and tidy. Terrible balcony that opened up on to a flat roof with the air conditioners. Just used it as a pied a terre to enjoy the city ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jacqueline Sep 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Quiet and peaceful in the city! After being in hospital for a few days this was an oasis of calm. Comfortable bed and linen and very clean. My only issue was the flight of stairs from the street entrance to the hotel reception, it was a tough climb with a suitcase. ##### Jacqueline Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wookjin Jun 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location was good.

Away from hordes of tourists crammed on narrow streets, yet close enough to main attractions, close to metro and on a main steet (easy uber pickup ).The hotel is in an area where they are building a new metro line so be aware - if you sleep with windows open the noise goes all night. However their windows are sound proof and their AC is silent. Quite clean. The shower was too small to be honest (yes you can stand but as a woman shaving legs and all, there's no room). Very odd shower with an extra long curtain so I always flooded the bathroom. But it had a bidet so extra points for that. Service was good but I didn't see or hear about some amenities they mention in the ad like coffee and tea station. Wish I had a kettle in the room at least. You get minimal toiletries ##### Anca Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sierra Oct 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Wonderful staff convenient location great city view ##### Sierra Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Maria Salome Oct 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Pros: centrally located, close to lots of dining options, shopping and walking to monuments and must sees. Staff were friendly. Cons: Still need to go up a flight of stairs to get to front desk, had to leave room key/tv remote every time you left premise, was not a deluxe superior room for 3 people, no water/ice for refills. ##### Maria Salome Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marc Oct 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Definitely much better than a 2 star hotel.

The hotel was clean, but there were no trash cans or a kettle. ##### Rei Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marleny De Sep 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is very clean, the staff very attentive, and the breakfast is standard. My only observation is that you have to climb one floor of stairs to reach reception, and then there's an elevator to get to the rooms. ##### Marleny De Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Dieppe](https://www.expedia.ca/Dieppe-Hotels.d57817.Travel-Guide-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 > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [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 > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) > > [Gateway Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Gateway.d6141167.Destination-Travel-Guides)
