Excellent location for walking distance for sightseeing. In walking distance from the train. The decor is 'grand '. If you want modern and chic then it's not the place to stay. We stayed in a classic room. Good size room (room at both sides of the bed), wardrobe space. Fridge/safe and nicely decorated. Bathroom, again a good size, nice to see a walk in shower with an old fashioned shower (could do with a larger shower head). The only downside was the squeaky floor boards, really bad. We were woken each night with the person in the room above us, not happy with that
Breakfast is a buffet. Plenty of pastries, fruit, ceral, bread and hot buffet. Husband really enjoyed it. Small bar,TV room. Very friendly staff, the ladies on reception lovely. For a short break a great place to stay in at a reasonable price.

Loved my stay here. Location excellent for walking/exploring Porto. Staff so friendly and buffet breakfast was 1st class. The Windsor Bar was a lovely place to relax and have some drinks, which were reasonably priced. For me no faults for my stay. No hesitation in staying here again. Close to bolhao metro and main railway station.

Hotel Lobby is quite nice and has an old fashion charm. Great location. However, the room was not clean! Bed bugs!! Woke up with multiple bites each morning. Also towel by the bidet were not cleaned from previous tenant, aka still stained!

This is a beautiful old world hotel. Our room was beautiful. The only caveat was the combo shower and bathtub. If you have mobility issues, not for you. One has to get into the tub to reach the faucets as there is a stationary glass wall at least one half of the tub in length. The bathroom floor is beautiful in marble but highly slippery. Also the air conditioning is week.
The location is on a pedestrian street and one can walk to all major tourist destinations. Taxis are allowed to drop off and pick up at the hotel.

If you're looking for a town centre hotel that is conveniently located, it's an ok place. If you're looking for a lively place or something modern, then look elsewhere.
But if you're happy to experience some past grandeur and atmospheric decor, then this is the place for you, the 1920's are alive in a quietly charming way.
Not so much with the charm from the staff though, more functional and to the point, but ok.

The only area that didn't have a crystal chandelier was my room

This is a recently modernised hotel. Everything has been done to the highest standard. Helpful staff at check-in, a wide range at breakfast. The room is small but this was part of our deal. We would return.

Loved this place, stayed in a beautifully renovated room, great location close to everything...would definitely stay here again....
Breakfast was good also.

Lovely hotel in the 'grand ' style, lots of character and charm, nice room and huge bathroom! The hotel is currently being refurbished but unless you went to the 1st floor you wouldn't know. Good location on a pedestrianised street with good shops and restaurants and bars nearby. Certainly worth a stay!

Normally I wouldn't stay at such a grand hotel, but I did this time and was pleased I did. The bed was comfortable and the room quiet. The entrance area was classy and historic with some opulence thrown in for good measure. The buffet breakfast was fine, but I was hoping for more as everything else was so wonderful.
