Pão de Açúcar – Vintage Bumper Car Hotel

The hotel is well located. The room is fine. No noise from outside due to double windows. Breakfast is satisfactory. Just wished they had a light curtain on the windows. The room and bathroom face directly into other buildings and there are no curtains, except for a black out curtain in the room. You either close the windows and turn the light on( not very bright) or you leave them open and have absolutely no privacy in your room and bathroom.

Be careful when you book a room with terrace. These rooms on the top floor are very very small with one double bed. The terrace takes up most the the room space. Not worth the money.

Location central. Room tiny and expensive. No door into toilet which is unacceptable. Open onto terrace which was very insecure as it was open to bar area and other rooms.I was told on arrival that there was fruit and chocolates provided by hotel as welcome gift. It was not provided and on asking about it , was told that my friend had paid slightly more and therefore I did not recieve welcome package.Breakfast was chaotic, we had to set our own tables. no eggs or hot food or freshly cut fruit provided. However there was tinned fruit and cake!

This hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of the historic Ribeira district. It has some unique decorations and is definitely a "city" hotel (no room to park, you have to park in a garage down the street). Out of all the places we stayed on our honeymoon, this was the only place that actually acknowledged it and fulfilled our special requests. They gave us a room on the top floor that has access to the rooftop patio, which was really nice. You won't have access to the whole thing if you don't have a room on the top floor. Overall, it was affordable, in a good location and I would recommend it.

hotel is excellent. original vintage experience. receptionist staff are all very helpful and always smiling. breakfast on the terrace was awesome. a very good hotel, will definitely stay again.

The second hotel we stayed in in Portugal but this hotel was a tired place to be, A good location but not a lot else going for it, a poor breakfast in a cramped room at the top of the hotel. Staff were helpful.

Fairly centrally located hotel. Extremely helpful & friendly staff, plus interesting displays of mid-century household history. Built during the war & housed the textile union offices, originally. Lovely building & kept very well - clean & shiny! We stayed in 404, which has a mini-lobby between the bedroom & bathroom & lovely wood parquet floors.

This hotel is some what of a hidden gem. The owner has created a museum of art decor with crazy things on each floor (bumper cars, old petrol pumps and the list goes on). The hotel is very clean and although it's meant to look old fashioned, the bathrooms are modern which is a big tick from me. This is now my hotel of choice when visiting Porto for business. The receptionist was very helpful as well.

Great location, late bar round the corner with outside music. The hotel is full of interesring museum pieces from the 1950s and 60s. We received a free upgrade to a king sixe suite. Huge comfortable bed and enormous room. Hotel great but some of the decor and furniture is a bit tired looking. Brekfast basic but good enough. Overall a great value hotel with very friendly staff. I would stay here again.

We had a great room on the top floor with a balcony and even a sitting area separate from the bedroom. This was one of the better stays for my wife and I in Europe in the 30 or more trips we have made. Porto is a charming city and worth a trip and the Pão de Açúcar Hotel was great - my wife thought the "Man-cave" waiting room near the lobby was a little much but I thought it was a nice touch. This Hotel has character and charm while maintaining a very European feel as it is located in an old building which is convenient to the city center.
