Porto for 5 nights

The location of the hotel was absolutely perfect it was at the top of every sights, everything was i walking distances. Though you di need to like walking and up hill a lot. For me it was perfect. Standard breakfast, nice bed and room. The roof in every room is gorgeous. The staff was really lovley! The only minus is the cleaning goid be better, but it was ok. As a solo traveller i felt safe.

10/10 Exceptional

This property was built in the 1850’s as a home. In 1982 the property was converted to a hotel. It is very quaint. The rooms are somewhat small but the bathrooms are new and wonderful. It has an elevator to get you upstairs to the 3rd floor. They offer a very good continental breakfast that has a variety of options. We enjoyed our stay at the Rex

Small, charming hotel, 10 mins walk from metro and the historic part of Porto. Reception is open 24/7.

The carpet in our room desperately needs to be replaced, but other than that our stay here was wonderful! Beautiful rooms. We had a massive deck over looking the city as well. Friendly staff and lots of exploring to do close by.

8/10 Very good

Nice, clean and comfortable hotel

A nice, clean and comfortable no-frills hotel. A bit of a walk from the centre so be prepared to do some walking (including a few hills), however staff were friendly and the hotel was very clean. A short walk from Lapa station which goes to the airport. Breakfast was ok, fresh bread, cheeses, meats, fruit, yogurt, cereal and pastries. There are nearby cafés if you don't want the hotel breakfast. There is a trick to getting the room door to lock from the inside, we thought it was broken but a friendly member of staff helped us with this. 24 hour reception meant they were able to cater for our late check in.
4-night trip

6/10 Good

Our room was very spacious and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was large, modern and everything worked. As other reviewers have commented, the carpet is old, stained and dirty-looking though, judging from the rest of the hotel, I'm sure they vacuum and clean it. Breakfast was good, coffee so-so. The main drawback for us was that the free hotel WiFi didn't reach our room, though it was good in the "lobby"/dining area. The property is a good walk to tourist attractions, but close to a Metro station. We like to walk, so that's what we did. We saw parts of the city that we would probably have missed if we had stayed in the heart of the old city.

Meget simpel morgenmad. God beliggenhed, ligger lidt ude af det centrale Porto - men kun dejligt, man får den gode vibe uden den konstante støj. En hyggelig indretning på hotellet. Har et minimarked tæt på

Boa localização, central sem ser na ribeira , 15 minutos a pé. Edifício muito charmoso (170 anos) com vários detalhes de época . Bom café da manhã, sem exageros. Quarto espaçoso , excelente banheiro. Pessoal muito atencioso e simpático; e estacionamento pago no próprio prédio, um grande diferencial ….
