Maison Bleue

The room was beautiful. The first room was a bit noisy as it was the first room outside the office and near the elevator. When I asked for a better room, they were wonderful and gave us a fabulous larger room. Everyone was so kind and service oriented. The rooms were beautifully appointed and I would have loved to have stayed longer. We would highly recommend this hotel as it was one of our best hotel stays hand down for a boutique non full service hotel. Thanks for a great experience!

This property exceeded my expectations. It’s quaint and small but the rooms are beautiful and cozy. The location is perfect and very walkable and close to restaurants and shopping.

Everything was lovely.

My travel agent made our reservation for this boutique hotel and mistakenly booked it for two people. When I arrived I was told there would be an additional 95 Euro charge a night for the rollaway bed. I was under the impression it had been paid based on reservation confirmation. I was told it would be looked into and they would get back to me. They didn't get back until I checked out and demanded payment. I was very sad because this was a nice hotel but not 95 euro extra a night hotel. It has a nice view of the Douro River and the room was nicely decorated but it is not in the greatest location for walking to city center. Also the restaurant was just ok for breakfast and I would suggest going to a cafe instead for basic pastries and coffee. Hotel also takes on the scent of whatever the restaurant is cooking which is not always great.

Maison Bleue is not your typical hotel – it’s very special. This is an older building that recently underwent a sweeping renovation transforming it into a sophisticated masterpiece that combines old-world charm with outstanding contemporary design. High ceilings, carefully selected pieces of art on the walls, a cozy lobby space, creative use of glass and mirror walls, elegant staircases, a beautiful and airy breakfast room, and a lovely terrace all contribute to this guesthouse’s inviting and stylish atmosphere. A color palette emphasizing shades of blue adds to the magic of this place. Our room on the second floor was a generously dimensioned space and had a small private balcony with breathtaking views of the Duoro River. The good-sized bathroom, separated by a glass door from the bedroom, has a sleek and modern design. TV and WiFi worked flawlessly during our stay. The staff at this guesthouse are wonderful hosts, always attentive, ready to answer any question, very friendly and helpful in every respect. You’ll find yourself pleasantly surprised by the affordability of Maison Bleue. It’s a place where you can indulge in convenience, style, and design without breaking the bank. The guesthouse is in a perfect location, just a 15-minute walk from the center of Porto. There is also a streetcar stop very close to the building's entrance. A small, steep cobblestone road takes you down to the Duoro River in just a few minutes. There’s also a lovely park -Jardins do Palácio de Cristal- just across the street and a very short walk up the slope. For anyone looking for a lovely and refined experience beyond your standard Porto hotel, Maison Bleue is the perfect place.
