Stayed at Hotel Cristal as a group for a weekend away. Hotel was immaculately clean, rooms comfortable and breakfast selection was great. Especially loved the garden area for a relaxing drink and sit in the sun.

Lovely hotel with blue and white theme throughout. Spotless, with friendly staff and good breakfast selection. We booked this hotel in particular for it's garden and enjoyed an hour or so most days sitting in the sun with a drink. Although the hotel isn't in the city centre it's walkable and the nearest metro is a 10 minute walk away. Very good service throughout, will definitely return if/when we come back to Porto!

It was alright. Room was okay. The staff overall weren’t so friendly, especially the breakfast and front desk staff. Dinner and bar staff were nice. Probably wouldn’t stay there again.

Great value for the price. You could easily spend much more and get less in another hotel. Very clean, well maintained, and up to date. Quiet and comfortable room and a generally quiet hotel, even when full, in a quiet neighborhood and street. Excellent breakfast. Very helpful staff. Will stay there again if I revisit Porto.

The hotel in general is nice, the staff were accommodating, the breakfast room and what it provides was good, the room was spacious and the bed was good. The only thing we found that the hand basin in the bathroom was tiny every time you wash your face your head hits the wall. The other thing could improve on what is provided in the room, there was a Kettle and two sachets of tea, my wife prefers coffee with milk neither were in the room also everywhere that we stayed on our travel they supply fresh bottle of water every day that was not the case at Hôtel Crystal. But over all was good.

Had a wonderful Christmas time and the festive meals exceeded my expectations by far. Comfortable double bed (upgraded from single), lovely decor throughout the hotel topped up with beautiful Christmas decorations. Very clean. Good location, liked being a bit away from busy tourist area, had a feeling of real Porto atmosphere. Highly recommended and would love to return. Big obrigado to the team.

Hotel Cristal
The staff were excellent. The hotel had problems with bathroom drains but was clean and rooms spacious. The distance from the centre was very misleading - much more than 15mins The breakfast was disappointing. I left my phone charger but the hotel will not return it I have to arrange collection of it - disappointing response.
