  • Overall: Rating of 3.8 out of 5

    "Overall - I had a very convenient stay, a short walk away from the main attractions, and if I had more time - I would have also done some shopping just outside." source Skoosh

    "Despite this thing I would stay there again and recommended to the others." source Orbitz

    "The Grande hotel Do Porto, is a good hotel with perfect location, in the center, close to the historic part of the city as well as shopping." source Expedia

  • Clean: Rating of 3.9 out of 5

    "It was a clean hotel and a good location but not worth the price." source Venere

    "While it was centrally located, which was nice, and the room was clean, we were very disappointed in the strong and unpleasant plumbing odor that permeated our hotel room througout the duration of our stay." source Expedia

  • Service: Rating of 3.9 out of 5

    "Food and service is ok." source Venere

  • Location: Rating of 4.1 out of 5

    "Very weel located, next to subway and cableway (relaxing with a good landscape, and really useful because the hotel stands in the upper part of the city), offers the fascination of Rua de Santa Catarina, one of the most ancient and caracteristic roads of the city." source Venere

    "perfect location in the city and also really quiet, friendly and competent employees, what I did not like the old carpets in the hotel, for the rest everything was nice." source Venere

    "It was well located as long as you didnÂ’t mind walking up a big hill to get to it." source Expedia

    "Common areas are beautiful and location is great." source Expedia

    "Old fashioned hotel but with quite some charm, well located but need more spacious rooms." source Venere

  • Value: Rating of 5.0 out of 5

    "A faded, jaded hotel displaying flashes of it's former glory with a surprisingly good and reasonably priced dining room." source Venere

  • Room: Rating of 3.1 out of 5

    "It was far to noisey so we changed rooms to the second floor which was much better." source Skoosh

    "My husband and I had difficulty finding a place for our suitcases and there wasn't enough room for two people to pass in the room without one moving off beside the bed or into the bathroom." source Hotels.com

    "The room is very dark (they should try a lighter color bedspread rather than navy) and when we open the windows for more light and to air out the room, the shouting and noise from the streets below echo loudly in the room." source Venere
