Top Porto Historic Center Hotel Reviews

The Social Hub Porto

10/10 Excellent

"Our first room had a problem with the air conditioning (it was very hot out!) but the staff quickly changed our room and gave us an upgrade as well as a complimentary breakfast. We very much appreciated this. They were eager to make sure we enjoyed our stay."

YOTEL Porto

8/10 Good

"Solo travel for 2 nights and saw Yotel as part of a good priced package. Very close to the station and some of the key attractions e.g. Balhao market / chapel of souls. Roughly 20 minutes walk to the historic centre. The hotel overall had a good size hotel room and presentation. The room I had wasn't amongst any noise and just heard the odd conversation. The traffic from outside was kept to a minimal only when the window is closed. The gym was a big win with good options at the breakfast buffet. Wifi was fast and the kiosk check in did cut down my waiting time significantly. The feedback I would give is simply a system refresh tech wise and a touch up on the interior. Due to the layout of the shower the flooring did show some wear as the water will spill over depending how you position yourself despite placing a towel on the floor. The AC system wasn't working either. As noted with previous reviews, the fridge isn't cold enough to keep things cool and can imagine this being a major issue in the hotter months. On the breakfast buffet side, I would have liked to see it replenished as I arrived at 9:20am and noticed service was starting to closing up when it was only hitting 10am with service running until 10:30am. On the whole I would return to Yotel as it ticked all my boxes for a solo travel."

Zero Box Lodge Porto

8/10 Good

"Central location, lovely staff and a comfy bed. Bathroom and shower were great, communication prior to stay was excellent."

Hotel Moon & Sun Porto

10/10 Excellent

"O hotel é bem localizado, próximo de várias atrações turísticas, quarto limpo e confortável, banheiro bom, o café da manhã era muito bom, somente podiam trocar a luz do quarto, deixar mais claro o ambiente."

GRANDE HOTEL PARIS by STAY HOTELS

10/10 Excellent

"Charming, quiet and clean. Located on a pedestrian street. Close to all the main sights, restaurants and shops. We liked how it had old world charm but with an updated modern bathroom. We would stay here again."

Cenica Porto Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at Cenica the Curio Collection in Porto! The staff were super friendly and helpful and the location was great; walkable to the historic district and some great restaurants literally across the street. The last morning we had the breakfast buffet at the hotel and it was LOVELY! So many great options, wonderful staff who make great cappuccinos, and delicious food. One odd thing was that you are unable to control the thermostat in the room. So if you like to sleep with a very cold room, you have to call down to the front desk and they adjust the temperature of the room for you. We had never encountered that before. But when asked, they did do it and the temperature was fine for sleeping! The bed was comfortable, the gym is a bit small for a mainstream hotel, but the equipment was good. All in all, we had a wonderful stay!"

Eurostars Aliados

10/10 Excellent

"Central location - within 10-15 mins you are by the river, and just a few minutes away from the famed Lello library and Sao Bento station . It is steps away from the Aliados metro - which is great if you are taking transit to/from the airport. The room was clean and quiet which I appreciate. I like that it is located away from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist area. Would happily stay here again."

Eurostars Porto Douro

10/10 Excellent

"Front Desk staff are super supportive and amazingly outstanding."

Porto Royal Bridges Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Central hotel, nice and quiet in the rooms."
