Porto Palácio Hotel by The Editory

The room and hotel were very clean, and the staff was helpful. There was a great breakfast, a very good restaurant, and wonderful waiting service. The view from the upper floors is superb, and overall, the hotel is fantastic.

We stayed in one of the suites for our family of 4 - nice spacious room with two large full bathrooms. The rooms were clean and great for our stay. We enjoyed breakfast every morning - plentiful spread with a good variety of warm and cold foods. We enjoyed using the pool facilities. The staff was very professional and friendly. My friend left his mobile phone in the Uber and the genuine concern that the staff had in their attempts to help facilitate the return of the phone was fantastic. Anytime we had a question or left and returned the hotel, the staff were always there to greet us with a warm smile.

The palacio hotel is not far from the big square with the big statue of a Lion pressing an Eagle against the ground and Casa de Musica. Personel is looking quite formal, but are really helpfull and friendly. Breakfast is well done and rooms are spacious. If you dont mind walking and visiting the beach, this is the ideal spot. Just follow the Rue de Boavista towards the beach and you ll be amazed. If you decide to walk down this road I recommend walking through the city park, it is amazing. And if you really like the best part of the beach, go up norh a bit which will take 45 min extra (you can also take a bus). Once you are back from the beach you can go to the topfloor and look over the Rua de Boavista. A long straight line towards the beach as the sun sets, or relaxing after dark when the lights pop on and traffic is moving around.

Room was large, clean and had a great view of the city so I was happy I paid extra for it. The staff was welcoming and pleasant and professional. Shower was hot and had good pressure. Loved that the towel heater worked! Good bus and metro connections. Upon arrival the friendly and gracious bellman pointed out the amenities of the hotel including the rooftop bar and recommended I use my free welcome drink card to watch the sun go down from there. Good breakfast selections.

With the exception to a female receptionist at check-out, all the staff was very friendly and efficient, in particular the car valet drivers. Breakfast is always nice. The location is excellent, hence this was my third stay at this hotel.
