This hotel claims to be 5-star, but our experience was far from it. The air conditioning didn’t work the entire time we were there, making the room unbearably hot and impossible to sleep in. We reported the issue three times—each time we were told a technician would come. Someone showed up twice, only to tell us there was nothing they could do. No resolution, no apology, no compensation. On top of that, the beds were uncomfortable and the carpet was stained and filthy. For a hotel that markets itself as luxury, the reality is way off. Poor maintenance, poor service, and not worth the money. Avoid if you’re expecting anything close to a 5-star stay.

A very good and reasonably priced stay. The breakfast buffet was spectacularly good with a big variety of cooked and continental options of high quality. The only minor issue is that while having free parking was excellent it would be better if the entrance was more clearly marked from the road. The spiral ramp in and out is also rather tight so may be difficult to negotiate in an unfamiliar hired large SUV!

The property was very nice, however, the garage parking was extremely tight. Rather than send someone down to get my car, the desk clerk handed me the keys. Of course, I scratched the side of the car not being used to the extreme tightness. Netflix, YouTube and other streaming services did not work. I was told it was Sunday and people don't work -- heck, they are operating a supposed "5-Start" hotel and can't get their TV to properly work. My wife lives elsewhere and their hotel always has an emergency technicians available. The lamp light didn't work. The handle in the shower was difficult to turn. I have stayed in hotels around the world including Lisbon and Porto and I'd rate this a 4-star IF everything was working. What was nice was the bar and dining area, the large gym, the spa and steam room. I planned to use the spa but didn't get a chance to do so. Finally, the roof bar was nice and the view outstanding but like the primary menu, it should have a few more appetizer options.

Staff were attentive and friendly, and the hotel had good facilities, and was very clean. I would have appreciated a fridge in the room, as I travel on a budget, and often buy food for late night snacks or a quick breakfast, and the carpet was clean, but due to be replaced. Clearer information about the amenities on the website or in the room or elevators (great that there is a pool -- but where? Hours?) would have been useful. The area around the hotel is clean and safe, but a bit bland; apart from a few buildings I could have been in any country in Europe. Transit options for getting into the centre of Porto or out to the beach and aquarium were close to the hotel, but unreliable as far as the bus schedule was concerned. Given the excellent service, comfortable room, and reasonable price, I would very happily recommend this hotel to family and friends or stay there again myself -- but I would allow a little more time to get to the old city (or take a taxi -- very inexpensive). Also, don't miss the roof bar! I only went on my last night, and really regretted not having gone sooner.

Not a bad hotel but not 5 star ! Too far away from the central parts where everyone wants to be. Hotel a bit dated and worn in the rooms . Stained carpets etc.. but comfortable enough. Terrible service at the bar on the top floor . Ordered a cocktail and the bar went walkabout then served 2 women first ! 20 min wait . Top tip ? stay some where closer to the centro

A Wonderful Stay at Porto Palácio Hotel

My stay at Porto Palácio Hotel was truly exceptional. The service was warm and professional, the room elegant and comfortable, and the views from the rooftop bar were unforgettable. I especially appreciated the relaxing sauna steam room and jacuzzi and the hotel’s perfect balance of luxury and convenience. The breakfast buffet was amazing, it has everything you need and staff on hand were extremely friendly and accommodating. A beautiful experience I’d happily repeat.

A lovely hotel, with very helpful attentive staff. Rooftop bar and restaurant on the nineteenth floor. I didn’t get chance to use the Spa but it looked lovely. The Hotel is in a very safe area with good restaurants close by. Porto is a big City so it’s a 50 minute walk from the River and main area, but taxis are cheap and readily available.

Room let hotel down.

Room was disappointing and felt in need of a deep clean owing to the stains on floor and walls (exploding drink came to mind). Rest of the hotel was excellent and food fantastic at rooftop restaurant. Stayed elsewhere in Porto for rest of trip and better quality and value in other hotel.
