Quite convenient in the town centre. Room as fine for me as I was there by myself and only one night, but it would have been too small for longer periods. I guess I would go back again for a short trip.

Location is very good, especially if you think of shopping, right there in the middle of the city, on a shopping street with no traffic. Common areas are very impressive too, with the colonial grandeur, very spacious and cozy at the same time. The rooms though are very dull in comparison, remade with small attention to detail, quite ok, and... More

Stayed at this hotel for a week with friends on halfboard. the meals were excellent with a different menu each night. the rooms were a good size clean and well kept. but best of all were the public rooms with so much history, also the hotel was located right in the heart of the old city with all the attractions...

This was a very beautiful hotel, spotlessly clean and well situated about 15 minutes was from the riverside. Do bear in mind Porto is very hilly. Breakfast was adequate, not a large selection of hot food but plenty of cold meats and breads. We found the bar convenient in the evening after a long day sightseeing. However our bedroom was...

This hotel is right in the middle of where you want to be! The public rooms are grand, as others say. The rooms are very bland, but quiet. Walls are a little thin, so lower your voices. The breakfast buffet was the best we had in 2 weeks! First time we have paid for Internet, but it was very reasonable... More

Eight friends have just spent 3 nights in Porto, staying at this grand old hotel. The location could not be better: right in the main shopping street! It is, nevertheless, quiet, as the rooms do not face the busy street but the side street. It is great value for money, as the rooms are functional and clean. The bathrooms are... More

I have stayed for 2 night at Classic double room. Room is fine. Nothing special but good for the price paid of 80 EUR per night inc.breakfast. Hotel staff is very polite and helpful. It seems that this hotel used to be ''grand'' in older times and they have kept this ''grand'' appearance on the 1st floor which is very... More

A hotel stuck somewhat in a bygone era, not in a bad way, but very grand. Very impressive restaurant area as well as bars and other communal areas, lots of marble and red leather. Very central location and pleasant staff. Room was a bit disappointing as it was one of the smallest I have been in which is odd given... More

Superb location (right on the middle of the main shopping street, just round the corner from the metro). Superb, large, light rooms. Good roof terrace. Fatastic bar and public areas (stright out of the 1920's) Very good breakfast (if a little busy) The only thing that I can think of to say against this is that some of the staff... More

We stayed for a couple of nights in Old World elegance. Built in the 1800s, it has marble columns and beautiful chandeliers in the dining room. The room was modern and clean. Great location near the Metro and right in the centre of a pedestrian shopping area. The breakfast was excellent and the dining room is lovely. The hotel bar... More
