Conveniently located in the heart of everything. The room was clean, updated, and beautiful with a great view. The best part is the staff, by far. The front desk was especially helpful in arranging for an early morning taxi to take us to the airport, in providing extra towels and toiletries, and recommending points of interest. The breakfast was exceptional; not to be missed.

Great Stay in Porto

It was an excellent location for us in terms of seeing and doing what we wished to do. The staff was very accommodating and even provided a boxed breakfast for us on a morning that we joined an early tour group. Breakfast was delicious at the hotel.If you like a small hotel with great views of the river and a welcoming staff then this is the place ! A word of advice...pack lightly unless you accept a transfer because some Ubers and taxi's cannot pull up to the door.

The Gran Cruz House is in the perfect location, right by the river and walkable to all local attractions and restaurants. We stayed in the White Room for one night and the Pink Room for four. Both rooms were lovely but we really loved the Pink Room due to its small balcony and beautiful views. The rooms were nice and clean and the shower pressure was great. The area has a lovely vibe with street entertainers and market stalls and the view from the room was amazing. Some reviews mention noise but once we closed the windows and shutters we couldn’t hear anything at night. The breakfast was lovely and a la carte. All staff provided a friendly and professional service especially Bruno. He’s a true ambasssor for your hotel. Very funny and personable. He provided great restaurant and attractions recommendations. I got an Uber to and from the hotel which meets you just at the top of the road (uphill). I would definitely stay there again and recommend it.

Perfect Small Boutique Hotel

The Grand Cruz Hotel is simply a delight in the most desirous location, right along the river front. We were so pleased with our spacious and well-lit room with all the windows and, such incredible views. This is a perfect boutique hotel. The staff is so professional and willing to assist you in any way. For example, the desk manager offered to help lug our luggage up a hill. Thankfully, it was not necessary. But they go the extra mile. The breakfasts with Andre were perfect and you can sit and watch the river scenes. We loved every moment of our stay here.

This property is gorgeous! Wonderful location. The hotel is so beautiful and the service excellent! The rooms with a wonderful view to the river. The only thing I should request is to tell you that a taxi can leave you right in front of the hotel. So if you bring your own car with your luggage, a taxi can take you to the hotel from the parking lot.

The Gran Cruz House is in the perfect location, and the team there is amazing. We loved our stay and would definitely stay there again. It is simple to take the water taxi across the river to visit the port houses, and the area around the hotel is very walkable and lively, with lots of restaurants and bars. I would have liked to have had a coffee pot or tea kettle in the room, but it was pretty simple to go outside and find coffee, so that is a pretty minor quibble. It was nice being greeted with port, and the breakfast was excellent.

We loved our stay at the Gran Cruz House. The hotel is right on the busy riverside, so it is a bit noisy until midnight, but other than that this tiny boutique hotel is a gem. Staff was very helpful. Rooms are comfy. Do try the Casario Restaurant in the hotel. The tasting menu was our best Porto restaurant experience.
