Cenica Porto Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton

Cenica Porto Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful hotel. Updated. Bed was very comfortable. Room was an excellent, generous size with beautiful decor. Towels were excellent, slippers were included. Service is amazing. Very helpful front desk. Breakfast was good, not extraordinary. I would consider it standard and for a hotel of this quality I would've expected it to be slightly more indulgent. Location is central, but still a bit further out so keeping in mind that Porto is one giant hill, it sometimes felt daunting walking back. But Ubers are quick and cheap. My room was facing the view/street and I did hear the cars initially. At first, I thought I had missed that there was a tram right outside the hotel. There isn't – the hotel is on a beautiful cobble street that cars drive down so you do hear it. The good news is the cars stopped driving at about midnight. So it was no bother. I would have no hesitation to stay again or recommend others to"

"It was absolutely delightful very clean. People were very friendly. My only concern and it wasn’t nothing to do with them was the language barrier I didn’t speak Portuguese very well, so it was hard to get through that but we found people that also spoke English so it turned out to be great so I really don’t have any complaints. I’d recommend this property to stay five star."
