The staff are really helpful and nice. The beds are large and comfortable. The breakfast is simple and buffet-style with some fresh items like eggs made to order. They offer 24/7 water and luggage storage. I hope to see more bins placed around (since the only one is in Kitchen). Overall a good stay, I recommend it. ##### Tanya Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Virtudes City Lofts](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Virtudes-City-Lofts.h22488399.Hotel-Information) > > [Torel 1884 Suites & Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Torel-1884-Suites-Apartments.h31734275.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Porto Centro Santa Catarina](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Mercure-Porto-Centro-Santa-Catarina.h20407.Hotel-Information) > > [YOTEL Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-YOTEL-Porto.h44294342.Hotel-Information) > > [One Shot Aliados Goldsmith ](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-One-Shot-Aliados-Goldsmith-12.h30212034.Hotel-Information) > > [Torel Avantgarde](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Torel-AvantGarde.h19121961.Hotel-Information) > > [Torel Palace Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Torel-Palace-Porto.h36844696.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Moon & Sun Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Hotel-Moon-Sun-Porto.h31705361.Hotel-Information) > > [Hospes Infante Sagres Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Hotel-Infante-Sagres.h176941.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Porto City Center by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Porto-City-Center.h33146121.Hotel-Information) > > [Eurostars Porto Douro](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Eurostars-Porto-Douro.h15051013.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Porto Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Sheraton-Porto-Hotel-Spa.h980783.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Porto - Palacio das Cardosas by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-InterContinental-Porto-Palacio-Das-Cardosas.h4272605.Hotel-Information) > > [Catalonia Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Catalonia-Porto.h37347188.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Porto Centro Mercado Bolhao](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Ibis-Porto-Centro-Mercado-Bolhao.h46182974.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Teatro](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-PortoBay-Hotel-Teatro.h3437750.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloom House by Sweet Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Bloom-House-By-Sweet-Porto.h33345778.Hotel-Information) > > [HF Tuela Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-HF-Tuela-Porto.h900089.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Flores](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-PortoBay-Flores.h36260275.Hotel-Information) > > [HF Fénix Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-HF-Fenix-Porto.h900087.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Collection Porto Batalha](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-NH-Collection-Porto-Batalha.h9688666.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Cristal Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Hotel-Cristal-Porto.h15483322.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Porto Centro Aliados](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Mercure-Porto-Centro-Aliados.h56524398.Hotel-Information) > > [Oca Ribeira do Porto AT](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Oca-Ribeira-Do-Porto.h91170789.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Renaissance-Porto-Lapa-Hotel.h91416842.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Spot Family Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Hotel-Spot-Family-Suites.h17355733.Hotel-Information) > > [Condes de Azevedo Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Condes-De-Azevedo-Palace.h24707301.Hotel-Information) > > [Neya Porto Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Neya-Porto-Hotel.h47076995.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa Catarina FLH Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Santa-Catarina-FLH-Suites.h24035627.Hotel-Information)
