Reviews

Cafe restaurant, good breakfast , great view. Very helpful staff Being on the riberia is noisy and dense with tourists. However, by 11:00 it's quiet enough
-
Comfortable and clean room. Helpful staff Right on the ribiera in popular tourist area. Ok for a couple days but lots of noise from the street

We loved being right in the center of the riverfront activities, and enjoyed sitting in the open window listening to live music. It was convenient to the funicular up to town (to avoid the steps) and we also walked down from town without any problems. We loved Porto and found the people to be friendly, and we enjoyed the lively atmosphere in the city and at the river. We ate at the restaurant "Casario" for dinner on our last night and it was amazing food. We loved the front desk staff, especially Bruno, who were fun, friendly and helpful. The decor was fresh and appealing, like being in a bed and breakfast. Nothing

I didn’t enjoy this stay but my husband did. He enjoyed the modern style of the hotel We placed the sign on door that we didn’t want our room clean and they came in anyway. I didn’t like that we didn’t have options to grab water to go or snacks later in the day. It was right by the river which was loud outside . It was expensive. The staff was not as friendly .

Bruno at the front desk was exceptional. Naomi (sp?) the server for breakfast and the guy that covered for her on weekend. All of the staff were awesome! Food was great. Housekeepers were fantastic!!! More breakfast choices would be nice. We were there along time so we went through the whole menu.
-
The location was excellent, and the staff was very pleasant and professional. We had a very nice river view! It was just alittle noisy after 11:00pm one night but other than that it was wonderful!

The hotel is situated at a prime location. Very well decorated and clean rooms. The breakfast was a la cart, with a great variety of selection. The staff is friendly and extremely helpful. I want to mention Antonio in front desk and Noemi in the restaurant. We are so grateful for their attention with us. Noemi always made us feel at home, always cheerful, and Antonio gave us great tips on restaurants and gave us directions into two. Didn't get a change to interact with the other two gentlemen in reception and breakfast but were very courteous with us. That we had to leave.

EVERYTHING! Riverfront location comes with noise from buskers along waterfront. Room was double glazed to reduce noise. Part of the price to pay for premier location.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION on the river front! Plus it was charming, boutique hotel with only 7 rooms. All 3 of our rooms differed in decoration and each room had a different bottle of port to welcome us. The beds were super comfy and the bathrooms so nice! The restaurant on the property was outstanding! Highly recommend! We liked everything!

Excellent location, great comfort and friendliness of staff Could a bit noise being in the middle of “action”?
-
Location, charming decor, breakfast.
-
Very clean hotel . Staff was accommodating and pleasant and went out of their way to help with any requests that we may have had. Rooms facing the river and noise level does diminish after 11pm and doors/windows soundproof also. Views of the river and bridge were magnificent and the restaurant was fabulous!! Would stay here again if I ever return to Portugal Nothing we did not like.

The Gran Cruz House is a fairly new hotel in an historic 16th century building with all the modern comforts you need. It has a lift and air conditioning. We were in the Vintage Room (#5) which had fantastic views from 4 windows, including one in the bathroom. The breakfast was made to order and you ate on the terrace with equally wonderful views. (The hotel has a wonderful restaurant Casario in the same place as the breakfast). The location is simply the best with easy walking distance to countless restaurants & shops. Porto is a crowded and loud city that goes until late in the evening and you can definitely hear music and sounds on the promenade below. However that is to be expected when you chose the best location right in the heart of all the action and it didn't bother us.

Small rooms, breakfast very slow
-
As guest there can not believe they would tolerate that behavior as we order led appetizers and told him to bring out while we decide on main He told us he had other people after and had to turn table
-
The staff were very kind and helpful. The accommodations weee clean and tasteful albeit the rooms are small. The hotel is located alongside the river and there is constant music and noise from the boardwalk. It was incredibly disruptive especially since much of the music was poorly sung American tunes.
-
Very nice hotel and staff were friendly. Right in the main tourist area on the water.
-
Location and staff Accommodation was perfect
-

Arrived on overnight flight and checked into the best location possible for a stay in Porto. Wonderful helpful staff. Clean environment & the most comfortable beds! Breakfast was amazing. The background city sounds didn’t bother me but you will hear music & chatter. It was the perfect splurge before I began my Camino
