8/10 Very good

Just a short Uber from town and worth the views

Property and location were great. Breakfast is very good with a lot of variety and helpful staff. Rooms are very big and a nice view of the river. Too far from town to walk if that's what you are looking for. Only complaints...hard to get in and out of the tub to shower..seemed a little unsafe with the big step in and out. Personally, I didn't like the huge pillow and the even bigger memory foam. I didn't ask to replace and maybe some people really like them..just a personal preference. Overall..very nice and have already recommended.

Beautiful Hotel/Palace

We had a great stay with our son. The extra bed made the room a little crowded but we weren’t in the room long enough that it was a problem. The hotel is beautiful with plenty of places to hang out and enjoy each other’s company. The staff was super helpful and so nice. It was too far to walk to the city center for the taxi was only €10 for 3 people, and the hotel staff called for us. We never had to wait more than 10 minutes more the taxi.

Pamper yourself in style!

Such a beautiful hotel. They make you feel so special. This hotel is very elegant and you are treated like royalty. The breakfast was amazing as was the dinner we had in the hotel restaurant.
The tables had mirrors so you can see the beautiful ceilings.

6/10 Good

Not impressed

We were impressed by the decor in the palace and the reception service . However it went downhill from there -a warm stuffy room and not able to turn aircon to cool( still on their winter settings) ;a tepid, poor stream shower over a bath and slippery as anything with no supports. We let reception know and they did send up non slip mat for the bath and a stool; at least next morning the water was also hot if only a trickle. The manager offered us a new lovely suite which we gratefully accepted; along with a small gift and port / chocolate. However aircon still hot and we slept with open windows to get fresh air - lucky no mosquitoes. The Breakfast was delicious and a big spread. However there was no atmosphere ( maybe the hotel was too quiet) . Tried the spa the next day - steam and sauna lovely but not hot enough; pool too cool for an indoor pool. Maybe the eco measures need to be reviewed- at these prices comfort should be the prime driver. The location is also not walkable to anything much . Overall our worst and most expensive stay in 2 weeks in Portugal-disappointing

It is a great hotel. It is clean and quiet, with a great breakfast, nice rooms, and professional staff. The best thing about it is the building itself and the surroundings. It's hard to believe such a beautiful place exists.

Our Palace Stay in Porto

Our room was large and very comfortable. The elevated, corner view provided splendid views of the river and the adjacent palace.
