Hotels Near São João Mural Painting in Porto

Stayed here for seven nights on a very enjoyable trip to Porto. Staff excellent, all very friendly and helpful. Location very good and easy to find from metro station. Plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance. Breakfast good, good selection of hot and cold foods and fresh fruit. Complementary snacks in the afternoon on the roof terrace a nice touch. Bedroom comfortable, large bathroom. Only criticism is lack of wardrobe space so had to leave some clothes in cases as no room to hang them all up but this did not spoil our visit. Overall a very good stay and would recommend as a good base when visiting Porto.

Beautiful hotel in a really good location. Service was excellent and the hotel is so new. Will definitely stay in this hotel again if I come to Porto. Thanks for the lovely stay!

This hotel is in an excellent location, with a pedestrian street to the north, the cathedral and Douro River to the south, and Livraria Lello to the west. It is only a 5-minute walk from the train station, the most beautiful McDonald's, and the most beautiful cafe. It can be said to be the focal point of Porto. The hotel's interior is dark and simple, but if you look closely, you will find designs everywhere. It can be considered a design hotel. The windows are especially interesting. One tip: there are no curtains. The front desk and the bicycle-themed lobby bar are full of humor. The room is not big, but the bathroom is large, which is also a very modern and practical concept. There is an old restaurant downstairs in the adjacent hotel, where you can enjoy Portuguese breakfast, French girl, Befana, and extremely sweet desserts. Although the taste is a bit strong, it is very typical and worth a try.

Reasonably priced hotel a short walk away from all the sights of Porto. No-frills but has everything you need - nice clean room, air conditioning, comfortable bed. A bottle of drinking water is refreshed every day which is very welcome. Breakfast plentiful and tasty. Staff were very busy as the hotel was full but everyone was very helpful and pleasant. A special thank you to Maria on the front desk who confirmed our taxi transfer to the airport and provided us with breakfast boxes for the journey because we left before the restaurant opened.

No words.... Has been a trip INSIDE a subway construction area .... And I am not kidding unfortunately. I have reserved a single room kind bed. At beginning the reception assigned me one room at 4th floor exactly in front of jackhammer operators, which made the same noises as in war scenario with 2 beds. Then after my immediate big complain reception have assigned me another room, #209. Different scenario : that was in front of a concrete grinding crane arrives from 8pm in the morning until 10pm in the evening. at 7am the noises of the vehicles began with the relative movement alarm and in the evening after 10pm the workers who hammer gradually finished at 1am in the night. all i have timed videos to prove my experience. I asked several times to assign me a room ON OTHER SIDE (that are outside the ”war operation area”) but answer was always _ ”SORRY SIR, THE ROOM ON BACKSIDE ARE FULL AND WE DO NOT HAVE SPACE AVAILABLE” . Today at check out I have asked a discount, as feedback the receptionist charged me 20EUR more for 2 peer juices I have got from minibar...... I do not know how to describe this experience, I have been many times in Intercontinental and I have been always satisfied.... BESIDE THIS LAST TRIP THAT IS REALLY SOMETHING I WANT TO FORGET Travellers' take extreme care going there !! At least until the subway works under room balcony are finished !!! Can not upload pictures the website tell me ”unable to lad” but I can sent ll of them separately

Environment: City center! very convenient! There is a small garden in the breakfast area, which is so comfortable Service: The service is so-so. I won’t help with luggage. Hygiene: Hygiene is relatively good, and the overall atmosphere is retro style

Having had to leave our previous 'hotel' as it was so horrendous we arrived here where we were greeted with very friendly staff and a warm lobby. They sorted us a room and must have given us a really nice room following our bad experience as we were on the 6th floor at the back with a lovely view of the city. The room itself was really quite large and the bed was extremely comfortable. We slept so well! There was a TV, free wifi, AC/heating and a really nice bathroom. The bar/room service menus were reasonably priced and the staff had great knowledge of the city. The hotel itself is about a 5/10 minute walk from the main station you arrive in to from the airport which was really handy for our early journey on our final day. Would stay here again if I went back to Porto!

Stayed here for 7 nights and was in 3 different rooms. Good News: Staff is great, especially Joanna and Marina (?) at front desk, and Paulo (?) and other bellman Overall decor is dated and needs refurbishing. Comments re: rooms… Room 234: Larger and very quiet with robe/slippers. Headboard is torn. Bathroom door in the way of toilet & bidet; need to close door to access. … Rm 232: Corner Suite. Beautiful but TOO NOISY. Despite wearing earplugs, closing double-paned windows + lowering electronic blackout shades outside bedroom window, still had trouble sleeping due to street noise (trucks, motorcycles, etc). Noise through evening and early morning hours when bins picked up. Windows need another layer to soundproof… Room 411: New side of hotel, VERY small room; no slippers/robe offered, better layout of bathroom. No view but very quiet. Bad news: For the amount charged per room (almost €200/night or more) + standard hotel tries to maintain, complimentary coffee and water should be available every day of stay, not just day #1. Beautiful view and good food from rooftop bar but VERY SLOW service. Tips: Location is by river so about 1-2 miles from city center which is uphill from hotel. Other option is to use Uber. Tram stop and supermarket conveniently located within 1-2 blocks of hotel. Can take tram toward Dom Luis Bridge to check out restaurants with great river views: Bacalhau (very small and don’t take reservations) or Vinhas d’Alho restaurant next door, takes reservations and has more outdoor seats. Overall: Wonderful, helpful and accommodating staff in lovely location but you could find better value other places, like the many ”AL” accommodations (private apartments similar to Airbnb).

The room was big and clean got everything. The hotel staff are professional very helpful Breakfast 17eouro if u dont book in advance if u did 12 . The location is ok because the taxies are affordable to the old city 7 eour Few restaurants around the hotel the closest are 2 sea food and another one. And one coffee place to have sweets or simple bite to eat lebon cafeteria. Not alot in the area to see.. still I got in 30 m from the airport with a taxi 25 euro make. sure it's this hotel because thier is 5 star same name hotel close by. safe place and not noisy..

The location is convenient, and it is convenient to take a taxi to various attractions and restaurants (Taxi is very cheap in Portugal). The check-in is fast, the service is very good, and the room is very clean and comfortable, because there are three single beds in the triple room, if there are three people, it will be better than only A room with a double bed or an extra bed is much more comfortable. The only small downside is that the sound insulation is not particularly good.
