We've been delighted with our stay at this gorgeous property. Our room, overlooking the square, is spacious, beautifully appointed, and comfortable. The staff are gracious and accomodating. The hotel is well situated. Book this hotel with confidence.

I cannot speak highly enough of the Intercontinental Porto Palacio. Situated in a beautiful central square close to all essential amenities. ,All the staff are most courteous and proffessional. I loved the Decor and total ambience of the Hotel, and the very warm welcome on our arrival.. If you are on Holiday and are 'under the Weather' , the kindness... More

We stayed here twice; once in April, once in May. From the beginning to the end the stay, the staff, the room and amnieties were top level. We are very critical travellers and have good comparisons being top tier member at Starwood and Hyatt, but the Intercontinental Porto has been our favorite after a three week tour including the visits...

Extremely well located. We stayed for two noghts and were upgraded to a duplex suite on the top floor. Apart from some overhead noise from pigeons/gulls at dawn, this offered every conceivable comfort: spacious, clean and well appointed. Very helpful staff throughout, and a superb concierge service, with suggestions (and documentation) for trips and restaurants. The hotel restaurant itself is... More

I had a great stay with my partner at this Hotel. It is beautifully decorated, the staff are very attentive and polite, and overall service is excellent. I was in a duplex suite on the 4th floor which was lovely and spacious but there was no view of the main square which was a shame. It may be better to... More

This hotel was very well run and the employees were eager to be helpful. Unlike some hotels, their arranged for airport pick up and car/driver Douro valley day trip was fairly priced. My only complaint was an ordinary dinner in their dinning room.

Rooms are nice. Cleaning service one day done only after 1600hrs. Concierge very attentive. Breakfast nothing to write home about. Location good. Cost/value relationship not too exciting. We had high expectations for a five-star hotel, unfortunately those were not fully met.
