"This was our first visit to Portugal, and Porto Palácio Hotel gave us a wonderful first impression. The entrance is beautiful and grand, and check-in was quick and seamless. We arrived early, so the hotel stored our luggage and invited us to enjoy a complimentary drink and nuts at the rooftop bar while we waited. The panoramic views over Porto were incredible, especially at sunset.
Our room was spacious, comfortable and easy to navigate. The toilet and bath/shower being in separate rooms worked well for us. The minibar was a nice touch, although it left limited space in the fridge for our own drinks. The TV was modern and easy to use, with Chromecast and useful information about the hotel and local area, although connecting to Chromecast was temperamental.
The hotel’s WhatsApp service was also really convenient for non-urgent requests, such as booking an airport transfer or asking general questions.
Overall, the room was clean, but we did notice some dusty areas on the floor and some wear and staining around the bath. While these were only minor issues, we expected the bathroom to be a little more spotless for a hotel of this standard.
Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to try the spa, restaurant or gastrobar, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend Porto Palácio Hotel."
