This hotel has lots of charm, so don't be put off by the plastic windows disfiguring the fine old facade. The windows are all the more perplexing when you enter and discover that the owners have, in all other respects, gone out of their way to preserve the hotel. Polished sideboards sparkle with old brasses and china, fading photographs honour... More

Spent two days a couple of years ago and just came back from a wonderful, relaxing stay at this hotel again. The rooms are pretty no-frills, but you do get a full sized bath. The hotel itself is a model of charm. Wonderful old creaky, art nouveau style with great public areas and a very generous buffet breakfast (not just... More

Fabulous, quirky hotel, with something of interest around every corner. Staff very helpful, hotel location excellent and the breakfast is brilliant. If you like a colourless, modern hotel give this one a miss - it would also be difficult yo drive to (easily reached by train tho). Don't think the hotel had a fitness centre - but one does not...

First, even with a GPS, driving in Porto was an extraordinary adventure. We never found the hotel by car. I knew we were close so we ducked into a public garage and with my tourist level Portuguese, obtained directions to the hotel. It was only a couple of blocks away. The staff was generally quite friendly and helpful, save for... More

Our previous stay at Grande Hotel de Paris was in 2005, and we decided to stay at the property again during our return to Porto this year. The hotel although a bit time worn was still enjoyable to us. Lots of antiques at every turn, a nice patio with garden where we enjoyed the buffet breakfast, and a small, but... More

Staff were pleasant, but few. At night, only one attendant, so you are on your own, if you need... More

Hi, This hotel is literally round the corner from Portos main train station. The rooms were big, airy and clean. THe doors in our room opened onto a small bacony. It is a bit quirky and old fashioned but lovely too. The breakfast while not amazing has lots of choice and is served in a grand room. There some nice... More

I don't get some of these reviews. Are you kidding me? The pics are deceiving. Thought it was going to be a really nice place. VERY disappoiinted. The rooms had an odor and there are no ceiling fans and no windows to open. We had doors to the balcony with a very bad view which I did not feel comfortable... More

This hotel is easy to miss, but when you step in, you are transported to a romantic time in Porto. The location is good for catching the tram, metro and shops. We enjoyed ur stay and would reccomend. More
