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.

Porto Palacio Hotel by the Editory

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.

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.
