The hotel is majestic and the location is superb. Can’t be beaten. However, some members of the staff were arrogant and dismissive. After we complained, the manager apologized profusely.

Great hotel! Well located, very friendly staff, very clean!
Indeed a 5* Hotel.
The only downside i can say is that as a cigar smoker you have to smoke outside.. however the days i stayed there the outside area was closed.

This is a beautiful hotel and our suite was well appointed and had one of the best showers I have ever found in a hotel. Turn down service and cleanliness was fabulous.
We had trouble keeping the room cool enough, the controls were confusing and would revert back to a default in the middle of the night.
Staff was attentive and helpful but ultimately was unable to secure us dinner reservations other than in their own hotel and did not seem to have many restaurants that they worked with.
Location was great . Very walkable to most of the areas we wanted to see

our suite has 2 sinks and the one on the left side the hot water faucet was not functional. For that level of hotel in my opinion it is not acceptable.
Besides that, it is definitely a hotel to visit again. Great staff

We had two rooms for my family of 3…one had a queen and the other two (abutting) twins. They put us in rooms next to one another in an area where we had a private hall so we could keep our doors open between our rooms which I thought was very thoughtful of them. The only negative was that we had no view (some interior space, we just kept curtains closed), but it was worth it for the convenience for us. Rooms were both beautifully appointed with everything you would expect from a 5 star hotel. Rooms were very clean and nice sized. Bathrooms were lovely marble with double sinks and separate commode room and shower stall. Bed was sooo comfortable. Room www quiet, dark and cool which made for a great sleep. Water bottles and macrons at the turn down service was a nice touch. Front desk staff was very kind as was the bellman. He went out of his way to be friendly and helpful on several occasions during our short two night stay. Beautiful restaurant attached to the hotel although unfortunately we didn’t stay long enough to have a chance to try them. My son used the gym and pool and said it was great. We had a late day flight out and asked for a late checkout. They said to check that day, and if they were able to accommodate us keeping one room later they would. And as they said, if they can accommodate they will and they did, letting us stay until 2pm…and it felt like that throughout on all levels. Very nice location. If/when I go back to Porto, I will hope to stay at here again.
