Top Centro / Baixa Hotel Reviews

Porto Royal Bridges Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was VERY SMALL. There was no closet, in a bar with 4 hangers And although we were in the 5 th floor, it was very noisy at night. People, cars, trucks, you could hear everything from inside the room with the windows/doors closed"

Hotel Carris Porto Ribeira

8/10 Good

"Staff were nice enough but not overly helpful. We actually had two separate bookings. First one was for 2 days and then we added another day. We asked what rates were available as they had a few empty rooms. We actually ended up booking through Expedia again because it was quite a bit less than what they offered at the front counter. There was nothing being offered to guests at check in - water or a complementary drink like most other 4 star hotels in Europe. There was a foul smell in the lobby during the three days. The hotel seems to be relying on people willing to accept less than other comparable hotels due to its proximity to the Douro River. Great location but otherwise it’s an average hotel."

chic&basic Gravity

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is conveniently located close to the city center. It has a very unique vibe and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. When we advised them we were leaving early in the morning to get the to Lisbon, and we would have missed breakfast, they prepared a small care package for the drive. We didn't ask for it, but they offered it. That's how amazing this hotel is. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great stay,"
