Oldest hotel in Porto, refurbished some time ago and in need of substantial TLC. failing plumbing and peeling decoration throughout. We were upgraded to a suite at no extra charge, but our room at the front of the building was not double glazed and the street noise was intrusive until the early hours of the morning. Internet access is 2... More

As other reviewers have said, this hotel is in a great location in the historic old town of Porto. It appears to have been recently refurbished too. It's in a pedestrianised shopping street which is quiet at night. The public rooms are magnificent, and the staff delightful, friendly and helpful. However what lets it down IMHO are the guest rooms... More

Spent two nights in May. On walking into foyer first impression was wow! Chandeliers, elegant furnishings, yes very grand. Then I walked in to the room, oops for a moment I thought I'd walked through the door into another hotel or should that be motel. It must be the most drab dismal room I have ever stayed in. Dark carpet,... More

Great location, although away from the harbour, and good public rooms. The food is indifferent and the bedrooms vary a lot. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby though, particularly the café Majestic.

Great location in a pedestrian street, close to everything Our room was clean and quiet The breakfast buffet was amazing, fresh with a lot of choices Staff was helpful The whole hotel looks grand and beautiful For the price, we didn't expect such a nice hotel We'll stay there again

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...
