Grande Hotel Do Porto

A very pleasant experience, I was fascinated by the history of the hotel. The nicely preserved olde worlde charm of the ground floor (lobby, bar, restaurant) are not matched by the upstairs corridors and room, which are rather bland by comparison. The location on the Rua Santa Catarina is perfect, and only a 10-15 stroll from the river. Metro station about 200 metres to the north. At €70 p/night for a twin room it's ideal for a brief city centre stay.

Ground floor was interesting with old furniture, rugs, and a nice spiral staircase. It was difficult to find an English-speaking employee. Room was small, cramped, not very clean, and window view was of the wall of a factory. Bathroom sink counter not too clean (the plastic fake-marble shelf).Staff wasn't up on available tours, or able to give recommendations.

Staying at the Grande Hotel do Porto was a great experience. While the bedrooms are simple, somewhat spartan even, they still proivde what you might need and the public areas (reception, reading room, bar, dining room) of the hotel are truly opulent, decorated with a sense of style and of fun! The hotel staff are friendly, helpful and very hard working. A very good breakfast is provided. Its position is excellent, in the heart of commercial Porto. (Driving there through the old streets is a bit hair-raising; the hotel is in a pedestrian street giving accesss only to the vehicles of hotel residents, but the staff are excellent with regard to the hotel's parking garage.) Very good value for money!

Very central situated, in the main shopping street. Hotel is " old fashion" styled by has a lot of atmosphere. We had large bedroom with 3 single beds and paid 22,5 Euro p.p.p.n including breakfast. The hotel is also on walking distance from the major touristic attractions. and opposite of the hotel is cafe Majestic in a beautiful old wood/leather style.

Grande Hotel do Porto is a very comfortable and has a convenient location in the heart of the city. Room was spacious and had a comfortable big bad. A big plus was a TV with 3 English programs> Breakfast was o'k, could have had a bit more variety of food. the staff was very nice and spoke English they all were helpful. The only big problem I had was a cost of a phone call made from the hotel to Spain> They charge you whatever they want, there is no price list and no arguments. They charged me 1euro for 4 seconds which somehow came out to 5 euroes a minute and then some tax and surcharges. No point of discussing it because all over sudden they stop understanding English!THAT'S A SHAME!!!!!!!!!!,Despite this thing I would stay there again and recommended to the others.

Hôtel avec une déco très sympa très bien situé dans une rue commerçante, et dans le coeur historique. Nous avons eu une très belle suite (nous avions indiqué que nous venions pour un anniversaire). Personnel très agréable.

Super deco dans le hall et les couloirs de l'hôtel mais quel contraste avec les chambres !!! C'est choquant , sinon assez bon service , le parking n'est pas a la hauteur de l'hôtel qui mérite pour ses chambres tout juste 2 étoiles et encore!..

Es un hotel precioso, pero la habitación que nos dieron estaba en un piso -1, lo que daba la sensación que te mandaban al almacen.

Bon hôtel, bien placé et confortable. Excellent petit déjeuner et personnel charmant et disponible.

最初に通された部屋の窓の間近に非常階段があり、窓が開けられない状況で余りに酷いので部屋の変更を要請したところ、次に案内された部屋の窓はシャッターで閉ざされており（防犯のためとはいえ3階の部屋の窓にシャッターがついているというのも如何なものかと思いますが・・）、シャッターを開けようとしても下から10センチ程度しか開かず、日中でも薄暗く、外の風景がほとんど見えない状況でした。一度部屋替えをし1泊でもあり、宿泊費が1万円程度だったこともあり辛抱しましたが、ホテル側から甘く見られているとしか思えません した。また、部屋のセーフティボックスを使用するには、フロントで鍵を借りなければならず、訛りのある早口の英語で説明を受けたのかもしれませんが、チェックアウトの際、10ユーロも取られました。セーフティボックスが有料とは今まで経験したことがなく、また宿泊料に比べ高額なのにも驚きました。朝食もまったく駄目でした。ただし、メトロの駅、サン・ベント駅から徒歩数分で、有名なマジェスティックカフェが目の前にあり、利便性は最高でした。
