Pros: The beds were amazing

Cons: The lighting and aircon could be improved (room 407,408 and 409)

Pros: The Yeatman came highly recommended and did not disappoint in any way. The staff was exceptional and went to extremes to make everything perfect for us. Breakfast was amazing both in terms of the food choices and the helpful people, not to mention that it was included in our room rate. The location gives a great view over Porto. Walking to town takes some effort (and more effort for the return!) but cabs are plentiful.

Pros: excellent and attentive service

Pros: Everything about the hotel and staff was absent amazing. Will definitely be back. You could not ask anything more of the hotel Staff.

Pros: Cool interior, friendly staff, clean rooms and nice breakfast. Also the location is very good - it is in the city centre so you can just walk to see all sights

Cons: I was a bit surprised about quality of internet connection - it was very slow and constantly disconnecting. There was too dark in the room, but i think it is by design

Pros: The location of the hotel is amazing! You are in the middle of everything to see which is also in walking distance. The personal was very kind and also helped us to know what to visit and where to go. We have been there for the birthday of my girlfriend and they helped me surprise her with a chocolate cake in the morning and something to drink. Everything was just phenomenal! Thank you again.

Pros: Great place and very serviceminded staff.

Cons: Great location but just a bit noisy due to sounds from street.

Pros: Superb location..in the city centre Fabulous facilities Great rooms Great breakfast Excellent staff

Pros: Location is definitely the best part of the hotel !

Cons: I don’t know yet ...

Pros: - The Hotel has a beautiful, exquisite and chic decoration. We went during the New Year period so the Hotel was still “dressed” with the Christmas decorations which created an even more special and magical ambience. - We booked the Executive Room with view for the Square. Best decision ever! The room and the marble bathroom are huge and extremely beautiful. Excellent room facilities with very comfortable bed and pillows. The room has a balcony and the view was just out of this world especially during New Year considering we had the best unobstructed central view to the New Year’s fireworks. - The breakfast is one of the best breakfast comparing to other 5 stars Hotel we stayed. Very good quality of food and really well prepared/cooked and presented. My Husband said that was the best coffee ever! (I don’t drink coffee). We could also request to the Chef extra options that will be freshly make like pancakes, waffles and different types of eggs confection. The Chef selections are very tasty and really worth the try. We were always looking forward for the breakfast! - We stayed at this Hotel during New Year and their New Year Gala (Reveillon) was amazing! Very good ambience, beautiful and elegant decoration, nice and classy music (jazz during the cocktail and smooth brazillian music), the food was delicious, exquisite and elegantly presented. One of the most beautiful and magical New Year Gala ever! - The Staff...The Staff are marvellous! Super friendly and professional. They really go above and beyond at all times. A special mention to Mariana (very friendly and smiley, already knew before hand our breakfast choices, was indeed the best coffee and best hot chocolate), Sérgio (friendly, cheerful and very professional Sommelier), Diogo e Cristiana (both served us at the Cafe Astoria and they both demonstrated being very friendly, professional and very dedicated). A massive thank you to ALL the Staff because ALL of you are 5 Stars! Happy New Year! Feliz Ano Novo!

Cons: Not Applicable.

Pros: This is a nicely decorated guesthouse (almost like a hotel) full with, as you can guess, modern art. The interior and room are clean. The room was cleaned every day. The breakfast is also good with choice of boiled eggs, bread, toast(er), various sweet cakes & sweet pastries, ham, cheese, cereal, yoghurts, etc. When we arrived and told we were visiting Porto for the first time the lady explained us on a map the most important areas. Staff speaks English. You can walk everything but using Uber or the cheaper Bolt app it is extremely easy to get anywhere. The city center is just 10 - 20 minutes walking away. If you have a rental car you can park for free in the next block (65 meters away)

Cons: The quality of the beds.

Pros: Delicious breakfast, friendly staff, excellent studio apartment lovely bathroom and comfy beds.

Cons: Happy with it all - no complaints whatsoever !

Pros: The welcome, complimentary drink, very comfortable room

Pros: Easy come and go attitude, all of us had keys for access even though reception was available until 10 pm, 5 euros in a taxi to the centre and 30 from the airport, caters for adults or families all made welcome, brilliant.

Cons: Really lovely friendly people, made us all welcome in very comfortable surroundings, clean and tidy and the breakfast was free with a wide choice to choose from, we were on a early flight and food was put in our fridge as we would miss breakfast, Thank you all so much for our stay.

Pros: Clean away from tourist part of town.Great breakfast . Helpful and very kind staff. We’d stay again.

Pros: Great staffs, clean, good location, we were well looked after

Pros: The staff were excellent and although we had to leave early they still prepared a breakfast for us and had it delivered to our room.

Pros: Simple, modern, stylish and well located. Out of the busy streets area. We had a small studio with a kitchenette and a couch, which is more than what we needed, but gave us extra comfort and space. The location is just a 5 to 6 minute walk from the "Campo 24 de Agosto" metro station. Walking distance (15 minutes) to the edge of the city centre, for people that like to walk. Small convenience stores and cafés just around the corner. Staff is very knowledgeable and gave us great tips on what and what not to do. Breakfast has a bit of both worlds with plenty of sweet and enough savoury: will make both Portuguese and International guests happy.

Cons: The sound dampening between rooms is not the best: we could easily hear people going up and down the stairs in the room next door. Unfortunately it is allowed to smoke outside the rooms, so you may get some cigarette smell in your studio if other guests are smoking outside in the shared patio (and your windows are open).

Pros: Beautiful place with great view, very close to Porto. The staf was really nice, Amazing breakfast and everything really clean, only can say.... 5 starts.

Pros: Breakfast was wonderful - beautifully laid out and with so many options. We walked into Porto once but the weather did not allow us to explore the neighbourhood around the hotel much. We did visit the Printing Museum right next door to the hotel which is well worth a visit.

Cons: Although there was a hotel shuttle into Porto, the times were a little limited and more often than not we ended up taking a taxi.

Pros: A proper 5 stars hotel with exceptional amenities and services ..

Pros: Location, staff, rooms and sceneries - impeccable hotel. Really enjoyed it.

Cons: All good

Pros: Wonderful stay at this lovely place. Felt like a queen in my castle. Service was impeccable. Restaurant was delicious and breakfast was fantastic. Quiet and very comfortable and the view is spectacular.

Cons: A little far from central Porto but a short taxi ride served us well. Perhaps they could offer a shuttle to town.

Pros: Beautiful, luxurious rooms, very clean. Excellent breakfast service and a wonderful buffet. Knowledgeable staff and very quick to help. An example is that I needed a key replacement and there was a long line of people checking in. I went to the Guest Relations Manager to ask, and first she said I had to wait in line, but then she herself came over to open a counter and get me my key fast. The location is not a problem, we took Uber and it cost 7 euro to get to the bridge.

Cons: Well if I must find something I didn't like, I'd say the view from our room was nothing much, but then we were out most of the day, and the Club Room view was very nice, it had a balcony.

Pros: I was very happy to stay in the hotel this week.

Cons: The restaurant starts only at 20:00 in the night (while only bar opens in the evening). I think the restaurant should open at least from 19:00.

Pros: the spa here is excellent

Pros: Service and friendliness of the staff.

Cons: The room was a bit outdated.

Pros: Gym is well equipped, good room service and comfortable bed.

Cons: It took 10 minutes to fill the bath. the stopper in the hand basin did not work very well. Both need a plumber

Pros: Clean hotel. Good breakfast.

Cons: It is a good hotel. But if I'm going to Porto again I'll pick a hotel closer to the old town and city center. This one is not within walking distance to the center.

Pros: Room Facilities Restaurant Staff

Cons: A bit far from the historic centre if you are a tourist - however there is a bus stop virtually outside on two lines that take you to the centre and it is only a 10 minute walk from the metro. Cab from the centre is 6-7euros.

Pros: A little bit out of main sightseeing, but easily reachable by uber (4-5 euro). We stayed in Junior Suites room, and very happy with the size and the service

Cons: No e

Pros: God price for the hotel

Pros: Perfect location, friendly staff, great view

Pros: The location

Cons: They never made our room, we were out for one full day and when we got back to our room at 5:30pm I had to call and complain about our room not being made. Bathrooms weren’t clean.

Pros: check in

Cons: check out

Cons: Be aware .. you might have to drag your luggage s to check in due to UNESCO heritage property

Pros: Fantastic location right on the water. Beautiful ambience. Very friendly staff. Spoke very good English.

Cons: Asked for a double bed, but got two beds pushed together that tended to separate a little. But, the beds were very comfortable and this was a very minor inconvenience.

Pros: You get to experience Porto charm being at the water’s edge ; just amazing ; everyone who worked here so charming and gracious

Cons: Liked everything !

Pros: Staff were friendly and very helpful. room upgrade for view of river was worth it as a one time event as it was spectacular. breakfast was very good and all staff made us feel welcome. Location was spectacular and was nice to not have to drive in such tight quarters. Close to everything and some walking for shops and heritage sites was nice. Very peaceful and quiet which was what we were after in December. Thank you folks.

Cons: Everything was very good. Parking at sister hotel and taking a taxi to hotel was best option and most cost effective. Staff got us taxi at both locations and were excellent and friendly so no issue with that extra logistical piece.

Pros: Quite comfortable and clean, nice breakfast, very friendly staff (as an ex, we needed to find a farmacy on the evening of Dec 31 and they made an effort to call and find an open one for us)

Cons: 30 min walk from the city center (tip: on the first days we took the fastest way, indicated by google maps, which is not nice - so we decided to go by the river which is a bit longer but much prettier!)

Pros: Location not far away from City centre and major atractions. Good conection to the highway. Very good breakfast. Very comfportabel bed.

Pros: Staff. Cleanliness. Breakfast. Design. Attention to detail - my partner was surprised with champagne and cake on the day of her birthday.

Cons: wifi connection was no stable. Disconnected constantly.

Pros: amazing breakfast

Cons: air conditioner too hot

Pros: Breakfast

Cons: The air conditioner didn't work. It was turned off all the time.

Pros: The hotel staff was amazing. The breakfast was top notch. The hotel was comfortable, easy to find, and the location was perfect.

Cons: The only thing that slowed things down was a problem with the Wi-Fi not working. Apart from that, nothing to change.

Pros: Staff was friendly. Manager tried to accommodate our needs.

Cons: Construction noise! We had our room moved to a “quieter” room but still we were bothered by the noise. The location was more for business people and not in the historic center of town which I asked for in the filters during looking for a hotel. The hotels should not say they are close to historic spots if they are not!

Pros: Everything - the lovely spacious accommodations, the very friendly staff, the location, the delicious breakfasts.

Cons: Nothing. We liked everything very much.

Pros: Bed and pillows View from 11th floor

Cons: Bathroom, found it awkward to get in and out of the bath due to very deep sides, Noise in breakfast room on sunday

Pros: Despite unforeseen nightly hours of arrival friendly and smooth check in. Large luxury room with all comfort. Very full breakfast included. Located close to a shopping center with numerous food stalls and restaurants, the neighborhood itself is quiet, hotel with taxi on 15 min. Provide the necessary breakfast for early check-out.(04 am). You get a lot of luxury for your money.

Cons: bathroom door must be closed otherwise noise nuisance from drainage of the room one floor higher

Pros: Great hotel just wish we have more time. Thanks

Pros: Very good nights sleep

Cons: Excellently sized rooms

Pros: The check in was conduced by an extremely rude woman that compromised the entire stay. We booked 2 rooms/2 nights for €400 and the least we expected was to find nice staff members. Instead, we were literally mistreated. We felt coerced to react as it is hard to find another hotel room for the same day, but our will was to take our luggage and leave. None of the requests were met. All questions we made were received as stupid inquiries and responded with rude answers. 5 stars hotel with 5 stars price and 0 star staff. Never again.

Pros: Nothing special!

Cons: Impractical and uncomfortable room equipment. Bathroom without proper equipment (shower gel we received only the last day), damaged control bath and shower. Bad breakfast without idea and variety (scrambled eggs inedible !!!) and every day the same without change.

Pros: Huge rooms, great media system, clean, nice people.

Cons: Far from the center

Pros: very comfortable. Room service was good too!

Cons: no hair conditioner in the room

Pros: Hotel comfort and cleanliness

Pros: We loved the whole property. The staff were really polite and helpful with everything no matter how little. It has a lovey calm atmosphere about it and everything is so clean, we struggled to find any faults with the hotel as a whole. The food was good too as we decided to give it a try one evening and loved the Portuguese soup! The hotel is also 10/15 minutes from the centre of porto on the bus which comes behind the hotel and is only 2 euros.

Cons: Can’t think of any problems.

Pros: Excellent service, especially from Diogo. Very well placed in the heart of the town, good food and wonderful environment.

Pros: Great location: good accesses to various destinations. Good breakfast, with a good variety of delicious options.

Cons: Didn't have toothbrush kit not a body cream and only add one bottle of water in the room.

Pros: The food and staff were wonderful.

Cons: There is NO reason that a high end spa and wellness center should have a smoking room in the middle of the lobby, bar, and restaurant. It was very unpleasant to step out of the elevator and be hit with smoke.

Pros: Pool with salted water

Cons: Disgusting breakfast! Very old hotel! In bathroom there is hairdryer like vacuum cleaner from 80’s!))) it’s really bad hotel which not worth those money takes! Tacky robes and towel. The staff is kind wile you pay, but if you try go out earlier than booked, they become loud and unfriendly! They steal money and nothing more!!! EXTREMELY NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!

Pros: Staff very friendly.Breakfast very good.Evening meal hardly any choice so used the bar snacks.Needed a car as no places to eat or drink nearby.So had to walk about 15 minutes for coffee etc.Pooll lovely but if weather was bad nothing to do.Quite isolated.Dudnt cater for English even though English there.No tea or coffee in room.Pillows were awful .

Cons: Too far out of any facilities.Could have been more variety for restaurant.A bit

Pros: Everything was great. The staff, the food, the environment.

Cons: there was nothing.

Pros: Great ocean view from most of the rooms that have a balcony. Very quiet and calm. Great place to relax thanks to well functioning amenities and services. Direct exit from the hotel to the ocean and beach promenade. Free spacious private parking in front of the hotel. Overall, you will get reasonably priced upper-class hotel. Perfect for relaxation after busy sightseeing day in Porto. Also worth spending a day inside without leaving hotel area.

Cons: If you don't have a car getting to the hotel and back to the Porto will be a problem. Food selection during the breakfast is rather limited, and was the same all days of our stay. Also, don't waste time on nearby village: construction works are ongoing throughout the town, most business are closed, only one descent coffee place and one good restaurant are available.

Pros: Perfect location. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. Great shower, comfortable bed.

Pros: Hotel is beautiful from the outside, but the rooms are very basic. It is an inexpensive hotel, and the rooms reflect the price. They have a breakfast buffet if you are in a rush.

Cons: Rooms are bare and basic. Only one pillow per bed. No extra blankets, pillows or towels.

Pros: The hotel was centrally located and easily accessible. The room was very nicely maintained

Cons: The staff were a bit aloof

Pros: Fairly clean, centrally located, very basic amenities and services

Cons: Ants in my room, mold in bathroom, shower sprayed everywhere bc no shower curtain

Pros: Near all of the sights but tucked in a pretty Plaza so it's still quiet and comfortable. Amazing value. Clean and modern

Cons: Poor Wifi connection

Pros: The breakfast had a good choice The location wasn't great

Cons: The fact my two sons and I had booked a family room with three beds only to be told on arrival we had mistakenly booked ii twice I took full blame for this error . As the hotel was only a third full I pleaded with the manager to override one of the payments, whereupon I was told under no circumstances was this going to happen Bitterly disappointed I wasn't even offered something as a gesture of good will. Unhelpful manager and staff . We will find a friendlier hotel next time.

Pros: The staff

Cons: Non

Cons: For people that don’t like to walk towards the downtown area, this hotel is a bit far for that (less than 2 miles). If you do love walking, it is great! It is located in a commercial area, so it is not out of the action completely.

Pros: It is clean, the staff is friendly.

Cons: There is now gym. The food is terrible.
