What guests think

Across recent reviews, Grande Hotel do Porto is praised for its elegant historic character and exceptionally central, walkable location, with friendly, professional staff, making it a popular, good‑value base for exploring Porto.

Rooms are classically styled, generally comfortable and quiet, though many note compact sizes and some mention firm beds or occasional noise from creaking floors or neighboring rooms. Facilities feel focused on heritage spaces; guests like the cozy bar and rooftop terrace, though the terrace or gym were sometimes closed for renovations, and car access and parking can be tricky on the pedestrian street but eased by nearby garages and staff assistance. Mixed remarks include sporadic Wi‑Fi or A/C issues, showers that are hard to regulate, and breakfast variety repeating on longer stays. Expect a charming, historic stay best for walkers who prefer character over extensive amenities.

Wonderful hotel, feels very grand and beautiful! Good location, easy to walk everywhere but also near a metro. The staff were all really lovely, especially the breakfast staff! Room was nice and big and the aircon was lovely and quiet. Breakfast was good, coffee was simple machine so not the best but altogether nice! Roof terrace was lovely in the evening. 24 hour desk Amazing place would definitely stay again.

The staff was friendly upon check-in. We had a room on the 3rd floor which was quite small for 2 people and had a terrible and strong chemical odor due to construction of the 4th floor which made me sick. I didn't smell the odor on Sunday but smell it immediately on Monday and again felt nausea and it gave me a terrible headache. I informed the front desk and was moved to another room on a separate floor. No apologies was given. Besides that issue everything else was excellent. Its a beautiful hotel and clise to many shops and Café including majestic Café. No access to the gym or roof deck because of the construction. My son loved the decor.

Great location. Shockingly quiet room. The full breakfast was a great beginning to each day. We were a little confused about parking, but the Caterina Market garage is literally a block up in the same street and wasn’t expensive. Everyone was so nice. The hotel is beautiful. I’d stay here again. Only issue was the bed was very firm but it wasn’t as big a deal as I had anticipated. And being by Bolhão market was a giant bonus.

Perfect location for shopping and sightseeing and being in the middle of the commercial district of Porto. We got the family double room which is 2 floors but the bathroom was downstairs separate from the bedroom and the layout was a bit inconvenient. Housekeeping also did not clean thoroughly after our first night, they didn’t even replace our towels or changed bedding, so not sure why they even bothered entering the room. Overall, beautiful historical building and great breakfast buffet but our suite itself had an inconvenient layout without any amenities like toiletries or even a box of tissues.

Hotel was very nice and the staff were great. It is located within walking distance of many sites in Porto. The only issue we had was the air conditioning didn’t work in our room and Porto had a heat wave 3/23/24 - 3/26/24. They did provide us with a fan which helped but being on the top floor it was still uncomfortable. Breakfast was very good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay there again.

We received a warm welcome and efficient check-in. All members of staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean. Although the bed was comfortable it was on a mezzanine reached by a spiral staircase. This was quite dangerous in our opinion and difficult to negotiate during the night or when carrying anything, however small. It was annoying that coffee and water were chargeable - did not use. Apart from a 10% discount on restaurant (did not use) no VIP service. Did not receive free bottle of wine advertised when we booked. Excellent location but would not return.

The staff are really kind, breakfast was really good and abundant with choices. Hotel seemed old but really well maintained and clean, decoration was really nice. Two things I didn’t like. Rooms were really really small. As in double bed plus under one meter space around the bed and that was it. They didn’t have any lotion, conditioner, etc, only soap for both shower and hands. Also no plugs available only a usb charger or plug in the bathroom. Is close to metro, bus, restaurants and stores, very crowded area, centric to walk around Porto.

Great property and staff. Staff was very attentive and ordered a taxi for 4:30am. Location was excellent for walking and access to restaurants. Is a unique property and they keep the decor like you are in the 1950s. The only reason for four stars instead of five is that the breakfast, although a decent one, was the same every day. If you stay for multiple days this becomes a bore.

The hotel is in the most central street for commerce, in Porto, in a lovely area. It is a very old hotel which has been refurbished to continue to feel modern and comfortable (and it does). The room was great. Housekeepers were excellent. Breakfast was good. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is that this hotel has a number of young and unexperienced workers with little notion of service, and that they are there to provide a great experience. On New Year's Eve I was told there would "likely" (?) not be room service. Since I had kids who needed to be in bed early, I just got some treats for us. Surprisingly to me, when I asked for a butter knife at the bar, a worker refused to lend one, because "that was not authorized". Since the restaurant was going to have a big party, I mentioned perhaps I could go get one there; the gentleman had the courage (?) to tell me that I could not go there and take a knife from the table, insinuating I would basically steal it (!). I proceeded to walk to the restaurant and ask a waitress, who kindly lent it, but stil begged me to return it (!). As I turned around, the barman was heading our way and berating the waitress, that the procedure was not allowed...! If you are a prospective guest or manager reading this: yes, rest assured I left the knife in the room! I understand hotels might get pinched things, but seriously, what nice hotel (such as this otherwise is), refuses to lend a butter knife and makes a scandal about this?
