After 4 days in Porto, we are so glad we stayed at this hotel. You don't need to stay on the river as some guide books might suggest. This is a great location for all the right reasons: Safe neighborhood and short walking distance to everything. Of course, you will pay extra for a hotel like this...but we thought it... More

In one of the main squares of Porto. This luxury hotel is very beautifully presented with very friendly attentive staff. We ate in the restaurant and the head waiter was very helpful. He even chose the wine for us & it was a sensible price at 14 euro. Price for the meal was around 100 euro for two course a... More

We stayed at the Palacio das Cordosas in May of 2012. Although check-in time was not until midday, the hotel had no problem accommodating us with a room overlooking the square at 8:30 in the morning! And the rooms are beautiful as is the entire hotel. After getting a feel for the nearby geography, the staff were so open with... More

The service in this hotel, as with all IC Hotels is world leading. The foyer and communal areas and well maintained including the fitness centre. The room was perfect, clean with great amenities including a proper hair dryer including nozzle (leave yours at home ladies!) lots of TV channels in English too. I would recommend going for the courtyard/garden view... More

Stayed here on New Years 11/12. Hotel is great. All pre requests for room were complied with. The room was very comfortable, and even though it was new years and there was a party and concert outside with loud music, we could hardly hear anything with the windows shut. The room had a great central view over the city square.... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. The hotel is modern and stylish. It's a big place, right in the centre of Porto and a conversion from a collection of old buildings, recently completed. The staff were helpful and courteous just as you would expect in a 5 star hotel. We stayed in a duplex suite on the top floor -... More

I was astonished with so good comments about this hotel on trip advisor, because I had a totally different experience. My bedroom was small, the TV set was on the side wall of my bed, so to watch TV I had to lay down in bed on my left and look upwards, really uncomfortable. My room was very noisy. To... More
