Guest Reviews
- Bezalel (10/5): - מיקום, נוחות, ארוחת הבוקר והבר
- Caroline (10/5): Inoubliable ! - Séjour idyllique. Toute la décoration de l’hôtel est magnifique. Le personnel est au petit soin. Le petit dejeuner en room service est de niveau palace. Le restaurant étoilé est vraiment à la hauteur, notre repas était magnifique. Sans oublier la piscine avec hamman et sauna en sous sol qui est splendide. Confort matelas +++ Propreté +++
- Lee (10/5): Extremely fun with the best pasties de nata in town! - Extremely helpful and friendly staff. The Porto football team were celebrating their championship win on our second night which we were informed of ahead of our arrival. Earplugs were provided but I did not need to use them as I did not hear any noise. All staff members were very friendly including the security on the night of the celebrations. I would stay again as the location was very central too. NA
- Lipshitz (9/5): Very pleasant and no hesitation in returning. Great restaurants in the hotel. - Good location
- Terry (7/5): Good location front desk staff not friendly - Location Staff
- JULIANA (10/5): Excelente em todos os sentidos - É perfeito. A estrutura do quarto é excelente, todos os dias tem uma surpresa preparada na abetura da cama, carinhoso ainda, tem supresas o tempo todo o que é super legal. A cama é super confortável, o banheiro é excelente, chuveiros maravilhosos, super limpo, sem nenhum detalhe negativo. A equipe super gentil sempre. O café da manhã é maravilhoso. A localização fizemos tudo à pé, sempre estavamos perto do hotel em todos os pontos turísticos. É realmente sem nenhum detalhe negativo. Gostamos de absolutamente tudo.
- Ernani (10/5): - Tudo
- Laura (9/5): Súper recomendable - Limpieza, ubicación , personal muy amable . Excelente aroma adentro del hotel
- Cornell87 (10/5): Luxurious and friendly - We had a wonderful experience at this well appointed luxurious hotel. The included breakfast had a wide variety of delicious hot options as well as a plentiful buffet. Nothing could top our friendly bar tender, Francisco, and the delicious bar food created by the chef at the Bar American, Louis, who clearly has a passion for the culinary arts. Spectacular stay
- 555lou (10/5): Perfect location to explore Porto - This is a fab hotel. The location is perfect for exploring and the rooms are a great size. Comfy beds and a great bar to have drinks in the evening with the pianist. The spa is lovely and th fitness room has everything you need too. Highly recommend.
- simontV6758WV (10/5): Great place, great service, and nice people! - We celebrated our mother-in-law's 77th birthday. What a beautiful hotel and wonderful service. Highly recommended! There was also a nice surprise in her room because it was her birthday. The breakfast is fantastic, by the way!
- Elisa (9/5): - L'accesso libero alla spa, la tranquillità è la dimensione della camera. Doccia bellissima.
- Francisco M C (9/5): Excelente - Pequeno almoço localização e pessoal excelente Da parte da restauração achei sofisticado demais sem contrapartida ou seja sem um restaurante/ coffe shop para refeições normais
- Ursula Therese (10/5): - Die Unterkunft ist sehr zentral gelegen. Das Personal extrem freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit! Das Frühstück lässt keine Wünsche offen!! Ein grosses Merci an das ganze Team! Ihr leistet eine hervorragende Arbeit immer mot einem Lächeln im Gesicht! DANKE!
- Nicolas (10/5): -
- Paulo (9/5): - Muito confortável. Todos os empregados muito prestáveis. Gostei de tudo. Apenas pequenas sugestões: cheiro ambiente no lobby demasiado intenso, pequeno almoço ótimo mas podia ter um pouco mais de variedade, a nota de que a tentaram arrumar o quarto podia ser enviada por email, não e papel (pouco ecológico).
- Hernando (10/5): Muy recomendado - Gastón en el bar maravilloso atento y cordial El colchón de la cama era muyyy blando y amanecíamos con lumbalgia
- Joao (10/5): - Tudo
- Kendall (10/5): - The location was great, central location! The hotel was amazing and luxury. The breakfast was amazing! The french toast!! All of the staff were very nice and helpful! Really would recommend!
- LUIZ (10/5): -
- Armando (10/5): Acomodação perfeita com funcionários super atenciosos. - Quarto lindo e confortável!
- Baar (8/5): Très bien, mais pas encore parfait pour un 5* - Très bon emplacement. Personnel souriant. Chasseur/bagagiste qui a accueilli et fait le départ très professionnel et disponible. Hôtesse du PDJ très professionnelle. Ambiance et personnel du bar très appréciable également. Quelques manquements aux standards leading comme la confirmation que le transfert soit déjà arrivé ou non au départ. Le service guest relation avait envoyé un mail auquel j'ai répondu. Aucune des informations que j'ai données n'a été traitées. J'ai dû moi-même reprendre contact pour au moins m'assurer du transfert aéroport. Le dernier soir, le hk a laissé une note de m'adresser à la réception pour le service de la couverture. Je l'ai donc signalé à l'accueil en ressortant de l'hôtel vers 19h00. À mon retour vers 22h30. Le service n'avait pas été fait.
- Federico (10/5): - L’architettura dell’edificio e la posizione molto centrale
- I Fan (9/5): -
- lindanyc22 (10/5): 10/10 Amazing! - I wish I could stay at this hotel whenever I travel! 5 stars all the way! Gorgeous, clean and modern. 10/10 for service, amenities and atmosphere. I stayed 3 nights with my mom. Bathroom was large with plenty of room to neatly store all our makeup and toiletries. An actual shower DOOR and not those half glass half open situations that gets the floor all wet. Lots of closet and drawer space. The TV was in a giant mirror on the wall. Breakfast was OUTSTANDING. The food and service 100/10. I'm still thinking about it. Champagne, fresh pressed juices, komboucha, lots of fresh fruit, pastries, basically anything you could want. PLUS a menu for eggs, french toast, etc. The wine tasting experience in the bar was excellent. B. Zein was amazing at explaining each wine and the charcuterie board was beyond delicious. The spa was such a treat at the end of the day for a soak or steam. I miss this place so much. Ricardo at the front desk was lovely as well as the doorman (tall with glasses). I would live in this hotel if i could. We had lunch at the Japanese restaurant, it was lovely. If you are visiting Porto, please stay here, you will not regret it. It is also in a great location, walkable to everything.
- Martine (8/5): -
- Maria (10/5): - O staff .
- JaimeUSA (10/5): Oh my, do I love this hotel! - Oh my do I love this hotel! Just wanted to dash off a quick note to share our feelings. It was one of those times when the hotel and the city blend into an unforgettable experience. Can't wait to return to Porto and The Monumental Palace. Loved the service level and the special and unique architecture and design. I was a bit worried about the rooms as we like and usually pay for a larger room or suite. The room size with the high ceilings and copious storage was very good. The plaza/boulevard view was very nice. The windows opened for fresh air also. (FYI, with the double windows closed there was not any street noise.) Summary: Front desk: excellent Bell staff and housekeeping: excellent Rooms: Delightful Design and architecture: One of kind Breakfast: Very good. Restaurant: Very elegant as much of Porto is. Michelin starred. Sorry for the quick summary. Note: As part of stay it included a wine tasting. We weren't expecting much and were half tempted to not do it since we have been to hundreds of wine tastings since it's our hobby. However, it was wonderful. The lounge is not to be missed. It's not huge but every inch of it is done in early 1900s modern and you will not be able to resist taking photos of all the special design details. The wine bartender was outstanding and made the evening.
- Joanna (9/5): - Excellent location. Very good staff who gave great recommendations for restaurants etc. breakfast delicious but expensive if not included! Only down point was a tap that didn’t work in one of the basins and a slightly noisy fridge!
- CHRISTINE (9/5): Excellent emplacement pour un long week-end - L’emplacement est idéal pour rayonner dans le centre de Porto. Le buffet du petit déjeuner est exceptionnel. Le rapport qualité -prix est parfait. La salle de bain est un peu petite.
- Marcelo (10/5): Maravilhosa - Foi excelente, o unico ponto contra foi o aquecimento da agua da piscina, estava fria, o restante foi otimo. Recomento Aquecimento da piscina
- Manuel (10/5): Génial - Oui Rien
- Bernadette und Rolf (10/5): Super Hotel an perfekter Lage - Sensationelle Lage und sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter. Wir haben den Aufenthalt in diesem schönen Hotel sehr genossen und werden bei einem nächsten Portobesuch sicher wieder dieses Hotel buchen. War alles top
- Sergey (7/5): -
- Ttravel2015 (10/5): Great hotel - Fantastic hotel! Excellent service by all staff. Extremely clean and very comfortable. Will definitely return
- Christian A (9/5): -
- Francisco M C (8/5): Ótima - Localização e pequeno almoço excelente
- Paulo (8/5): Um hotel 5 estrelas não pode ter esses problemas. - Bom café da manhã, mesa variada e um bom cardápio para escolha. Equipe boa, atenciosa, prestativa. No quarto a cortina é fechada por um acionador. O black-out nao fechou todo, até em cima, isso deixou uma luz entrando no quarto. Além disso a geladeira fazia um barulho baixo, mas que me incomodou a ponto de eu precisar desligá-la durante a noite para poder dormir.
- miquel (9/5): -
- Mark (10/5): very very nice hotel I will definitely refer it , wish we stayed longer - both room and breakfast were excellent nothing
- suetrehy (10/5): Beautiful hotel in very central location - Beautiful hotel in a great location. One of the quietist hotel rooms I can remember. Felt like we had the floor to ourselves. Furniture and decoration was of the highest standard. Gorgeous bathroom and comfortable bed. Breakfast was superb. All the staff were so friendly and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. We were very warmly welcomed.
- travelthroughothers (10/5): An unforgettable, transformative stay - From the moment you enter The One Monumental Palace, you are exposed — without warning — to a level of aesthetic coherence and intellectual refinement that is exceptionally rare. There is no gradual introduction, no soft acclimatization. The experience is delivered at full intensity, almost like a concentrated tasting of absolute luxury. What makes this place extraordinary is not operational perfection alone. Large corporate five-star hotels may display sharper, faster, and more standardized service responses, the result of aggressive training systems and procedures. Here, however, something more subtle and more human is at work. The One Monumental Palace does not sell service — it shares a vision. You feel that this is a deeply personal project, born from a family that truly lives luxury and has chosen, with generosity, to offer a glimpse of it to others. The atmosphere feels closer to being welcomed into a private palace than staying in a commercial hotel. The design is breathtaking in its precision. Every proportion, texture, transition, and silence feels intentional. There is nothing to correct, nothing to question. Your mind stops analyzing and simply accepts that you are in the presence of something complete. What makes the experience even more meaningful is that, while the vision and design feel almost absolute, the service still leaves room for growth. Not as a flaw, but as a reminder that true excellence is not a fixed state — it is a direction. In larger corporate luxury hotels, staff training is often more assertive and standardized. Here, instead, you sense sincerity, authenticity, and people who are growing into the vision that surrounds them. And perhaps this is precisely the most inspiring aspect of The One Monumental Palace: it reflects a deeply human truth — that the journey from being good to becoming exceptional is where real meaning lies. The space between these two stages is not a weakness; it is life itself. The effect of this stay lingers long after you leave. Other excellent five-star hotels suddenly feel merely correct — efficient, polished, well run — yet somehow incomplete. The One resets your internal reference for taste, beauty, and restraint. Staying here feels like being offered a rare, unannounced tasting of something pure and powerful — an experience intense enough to permanently recalibrate your perception. When it ends, you don’t simply remember it; you crave the state of mind it created. This hotel will not be for everyone. But for those who recognize it, The One Monumental Palace becomes a benchmark — and a dangerous one. Once experienced, it is impossible to un-experience. This is not a hotel stay. It is an initiation.
- Steve (10/5): -
- Christian A (9/5): -
- Victor (7/5): Relación calidad precio dudosa. - Habitación perfecta. Personal y servicio en comedor sirviendo desayuno muy desigual. Personas que se olvidan de la comanda; llega tarde. Mobiliario en Mezzanine requiere actualización, está en mal estado. Tostadora que se requiere retirar, etc. Alguien que supervise y corrija todos los desperfectos y errores cometidos por el personal.

- VirenD617 (10/5): Excellent service in combination with great location - The hotel is very comfortable and modern from inside (recently renovated) whilst in a traditional historic building. The service provided by the reception staff with a smile was excellent. I loved their flexibility in enabling my visiting guests park their car in the hotel garage. Breakfast service is very good too. The choice of items on self service bar plus on menu provide a great range of choices. Hotel is well located within easy walk from Sao Bento Station
- Alberto (9/5): -
- PeterO3141 (10/5): Great for tourists; elegant, convenient, comfortable - We stayed for three nights and had a great time. Highly recommend this hotel and we would love to stay here again on a future trip. Location was perfect, next to City Hall and a lovely downhill walk or 5-minute Uber ride to almost all the major tourist sites. It's 4-block walk from Sao Bento train station. There is a new subway station directly in front of the hotel, making it easy to get to the hotel and many other places in the old city, and which also gave us a short, reliable trip to Camphana Train station on our final day. Room was large and comfortable. (We had Room 305 in the center front of the hotel.) LOTs of drawers and cabinets to unpack into. Plentiful power outlets and USB ports. Bathroom, was huge, including the shower. Housekeeping was very diligent. We were right next to the elevators but the door and walls were thick and we never heard our neighbors or noise in the hallway. The reception staff, particularly Catia, were outstanding at reaching out to make sure we had everything we needed, including going to great effort to arrange a last-minute winery tour. Breakfast combines a very large and delicious cold buffet plus a-la-carte table service for hot drinks and food. Restaurant staff were fantastic, particularly Sara who remembered our preferences from day to day and ensured prompt, precise service when we were raring to go out to hit the tourist sites. Another highlight was the cozy, fun, speakeasy-inspired Bar Américain, where Tiago the head bartender makes inventive specialty cocktails that are amazing. During our stay we had four or five of his creations and they were memorable and delicious. He made us feel as welcome as if we were in his own kitchen. This was our first trip to Portugal and so our Portuguese was rudimentary, but the staff were all extremely proficient in English and we felt totally at ease. WiFi was great and we streamed a TV show one night on our iPad as we went to sleep. The only issue was that insulation on one window had lost its insulating edge and so we could hear all the noise from the street and plaza -- which was setting up for Christmas concerts, so there was loud banging from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. -- but since we were rarely in our room at those times it wasn't the end of the world. The front desk offered to move us to the rear of the hotel but we declined.
- Ivan (8/5): - Во время поездки было день рождение, и во всех других отелях были знаки внимания по поводу этого праздника от тортика на завтрак до простой открытки.. во время нашего проживания в этом отеле персонал не обратил никакого внимания.. впервые за все время когда мы останавливались в 5 звездах отелях… немного расстроило данное равнодушие..
- marjalago (10/5): A true grand hotel - A beautiful Art Deco era grand hotel richly deserving of its 5 stars. Ideally situated with spacious rooms ,fine dining venues, and a friendly thoroughly professional staff this is the place to stay in Porto.
- 357celiaw (10/5): Beautiful hotel & beautiful staff! - I enjoyed my first night so much at your hotel, I booked two more nights at the end of my journey. Everyone was extremely polite, kind, welcoming and helpful! Thank you for making me feel like I was in my own home!
- Eli (9/5): בסה"כ מאד נהננו - המלון במקום מרכזי, למרות זאת שקט, צוות מאד מקצועי ושירותי. ארוחת הבוקר יקרה מאד, והבר גובה מחירים מופקעים
- Patricia (10/5): 下次再訪Porto的首選！ - 房間非常舒適，我喜歡所有的細節，不管是毛巾架的設置，或者是電動窗簾紗簾，跟進舒適安靜，完全無可挑剔！ Rien
- lenya707 (10/5): Best of the Best - Excellent hotel! With very good service, breakfast is very varied and luxurious. And the fact that the spa is open until 11 pm is a real find for guests.

- mmichaelsinger (10/5): friendly helpful and comfortable - We found the staff so friendly and helpful. They made the stay comfortable and memorable. The room category was upgraded through our booking agent, and was a bit small but luxurious. We enjoyed the bar and thought the paint player was a nice touch in the background. Perhaps they they should limit the singer to single set. The additional artist changes the music from background to a focal point, making conversation difficult.
- CaraMHutchins (10/5): Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous - This hotel was all WOW!!! From its central location in the heart of Porto, to the most welcoming staff and gorgeous hotel rooms that were spacious and well-equipped, I didn't want to leave. We had only two night at the hotel but the staff helped us make the most of our time with helpful recommendations as well as a delicious port tasting complete with the most delicious charcuterie board. The rooms are gorgeous, recently updated, they are very spacious and some even have a balcony. I wish we had stayed longer!
- Kavtaradze (8/5): - Отель расположен в самом центре города. Удобные номера, прекрасный персонал, чисто и уютно. Окно из номера выходило во внутренний двор и стены соседнего здания, об этом не упоминалось при бронировании.
- Joe-Linda-2010 (10/5): Beautiful art deco hotel - Beautifully designed, exceptionally appointed, sleek art deco hotel in a somewhat central location just beyond the hectic part of the city. We had a double executive room with a well appointed, larger room and a large, double sink bathroom with a good sized shower. Very accommodating desk staff.
- joeM1123ZE (8/5): Beautiful Hotel and Great Staff!!!!!! - Would have been 5 star. But food at the American Bar was not good. Main restaurant food options were limited. I am a Spaniard living abroad. However the hotel was surrounded by great restaurants, most in walking distance.

- L2714YYmichaelc (10/5): Excellent stay - This was our second visit to the hotel and it was as good as the first. Beautiful accommodations and excellent service. Located on a lovely square very close to the center of town and the waterfront.
- Fredwak (10/5): Absolutely Perfect! - Recommended by our travel planner for our first visit to Porto. Hotel is centrally located allowing us to walk everywhere. The staff is wonderful and multilingual. We enjoyed a Michelin Chef dinner, the bar/lounge is very comfortable. Shops, cafes, beautifule buildings, etc all nearby.
- Summersnuggles (10/5): Perfect hotel for the star5 of our journey - A wonderful start through our journey in Portugal. Madison Albar Le Monumntal Palace is an exquisite hotel nestled in the middle of Porto. There are two excellent restaurants on hand one we got to try the other which is a Michelin restaurant we couldn’t get a reservation. The front desk were accommodating and friendly. Rooms were clean and spacious. Would surely use them again.
- Luciana (10/5): Exatamente experiencia - Amei o Hotel,pessoal muito solicito desde a recepção,pessoal do cafe da manhã e os quarto maravilhoso. Limpeza impecável. Nada me desagradou

- ManningW (8/5): Porto - This 5-star hotel was elegant and ideally located next to the main square, which is actually a rectangle, in front of the beautiful city hall, and comfortably situated just outside the busiest tourist areas. The breakfasts we had each morning during our stay were excellent. Our room was spacious and well-decorated. Our only complaint was the dysfunction of our television, with a remote that didn´t work well and no streaming or mirroring services. Still, we highly recommend this hotel!
- Giovanni (7/5): - Location Servizi reception
- kg30345 (10/5): Perfect location for a visit to Porto - We had a wonderful experience at this hotel in Porto. It’s perfectly located, on a wide beautiful avenue just outside the touristy areas. We stayed in a luxurious Audaciese suite, which had ample space and a large bathroom. The staff was terrific, coordinating dinner reservations for us each night. The breakfast buffet was nice, but not the best I’ve had. I highly recommend this property!
- ahi22 (10/5): Amazing hotel - Really good location. Great, super helpful staff. Excellent breakfast. Would definitely stay again if we return to Porto
- cbs15 (4/5): I feel like I am in a different hotel than the other reviewers - Check-in was very slow. There are two staff at the desk, and they are always busy. It is very hard to ask a question, because there is no concierge. Somebody brought us up to the room and gave us a tour of the room. I have no idea why. There was nothing to say, but we couldn’t interrupt him and we missed our Next engagement. The room is not particularly pretty or charming. It’s somewhat small and as nothing extra in it. The bed is pretty hard. My husband and I have backaches now. The pillows are all cheap. No luxury pillows. I asked for two soft pillows, but they are Either hard or artificial fibers. There was no indication that we could use the spa pool for no charge. I don’t understand the point of the tour to tell us if there was coffee in the room for free, but not mentioning the spa pool for free. They didn’t send us up with the Wi-Fi information or write it down for us anywhere. Incredibly, at this unbelievable price, there is no TV in the room. This is the first time in my entire life. I have seen a hotel room with no TV. I really don’t see what is five star about this hotel. I would rate it three stars. I think they get a star just for having a spa available. I also called the front desk to ask for dinner recommendations. The person said they would get recommendations for me and then they were no longer on the line. And they didn’t call back, which it seems they should have been able to do, since I was calling from my room to the front desk.
- Arne_Werchick (10/5): A Magnificent Hotel - Our brief three day stay convinced us this indeed an outstanding hotel. Beautiful furnishings, extremely comfortable, very well situated for a brief visit to Porto. Most highly recommended.
- difronzojane (10/5): Fabulous accommodations - Beautiful hotel Extremely friendly staff Great amenities Gym and spa were above expectations Perfect location
- Anonymous (6/5): - Comfortable hotel in a good location. Lobby reception staff were courteous. Did not meet expectations for value, for the price of the room and category. Lights and drapes' switches were not user friendly, and room felt smallish. Breakfast service seemed overwhelmed, somewhat chaotic or may have been understaffed perhaps. It would be nice if there were more public areas available for relaxation, such as outdoor space, a terrace or garden, or rooftop, and a lobby with seating. Otherwise, a good stay, a comfortable bed and a safe area.
- KristyM470 (10/5): Amazing Hotel and friendly employees - Absolutely, amazing stay. The hotel is extremely clean and all the employees are beyond courteous. Pedro the bell boy and Catia at front desk went above and beyond to make it the best experience. They were extremely helpful and were always so friendly. I highly suggest this hotel.

- jennandjeff1118 (10/5): Best hospitality in Portugal - The warmest and friendliest hotel with top notch personal care and service for my family. When my toddler got sick from jet-lag the staff went out of their way to accommodate his needs. In addition the guest services team made a personal trip to the famous Livaria Lello bookstore to help us reschedule our entry appointment/ tour because my son was ill the same day of our appointment. Everything we requested was accomplished with ease and personal warmth which made it a memorable stay .
- Gabriel (8/5): Nice indoor pool - Beautiful decor centrally located. Comfortable beds and nice bathroom with amazing high-pressure shower. Also, the indoor heated pool was amazing. Staff at the reception desk was friendly and helpful. One of the doormen on the day when we arrived asked if we are sure we are at the right hotel? Not sure what that was supposed to mean? I could tell my entourage was offended by this comment. However, the other doorman on the day we left was friendly and helpful. One unfriendly comment can ruin someone's day.
- LUDOVIC (9/5): Un excellent hôtel de grand standing et tres bien placé - Deco très soignée de très haute qualité , service parfait très professionnel et avenant , petit déjeuner fabuleux Espace très intérieur avec peu de lumière naturelle

- Neil (10/5): We would go again - Superb rooms and beds Breakfast was rather overpriced for the quality
- leynafay (10/5): Unbeatable Hospitality - I was blown away by my experience at Le Monumental Palace. Every staff member was wonderful- warm, attentive and knowledgeable. The hotel was immaculate and the room was lovely. Highly recommend!
- jamespR5402GD (10/5): Great Hotel and Location - Great hotel in a convenient location. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were outstanding, with lots of room for our luggage, and a huge bathroom. They provided a bottle of port and snacks upon arrival. The breakfast was very good, with a large selection. I would absolutely stay here again.

- OceanGuy45 (10/5): Excellent location, very comfortable and immaculate hotel - Lovely hotel. Very clean. Bed was great! Bathroom was spotless. We used the pool very briefly, which was nice after a long day of walking the city. The breakfast buffet is very nice. They provide lots of choices. The staff were all friendly, kind and terrific. Excellent location in this city!
- johnhB641HH (10/5): Delightful stay in great location. - Fabulous hotel - wonderful service, great rooms. Fabulous ‘monumental breakfast’. I rate 5 stars - only issue is the pool where the lady running the spa kept telling children to be quiet. They were not being very noisy. I think in fancy hotel you either need no children policy or accept a little bit of noise.
- Alan (8/5): Porto - Nice place. Good location.
- Luigi (9/5): Ottimo - tutto perfetto, ottima posizione Manca il parcheggio
- Carlos (9/5): -
- Rose (10/5): - This property is amazing. My husband and I wanted to change the rest of our trip just to stay here longer. The hotel is beautiful. The staff is amazing, they bring service to whole new level. We did visit the hotel bar and again, great service. Would definitely stay here again and recommend this haven to anyone!
- maximilianom230 (10/5): Greats rooms and service in the heart of Porto - Just spent 4 days @Maison Albar in Porto and we had a great time. Large rooms with high ceinlings - walking distance from all Porto main attractions . Special menytion to the breakfast team and their impeccable service. Can't wait to be back !
- conniesM4861VF (10/5): Elegant and comfortable - Location was exactly what we had hoped for, a short walk from most things yet not on a congested street. Staff is friendly and attentive; we were welcomed at the door with immediate assistance and checked in to our rooms which were readily available. The rooms were beautiful and kept pristinely clean. Telmo at the desk was very accommodating of our requests upon check in as well. The staff at the mezzanine for breakfast (especially the lady who appeared to be the supervisor) gave warm and attentive service to make sure we had a fulfilling breakfast daily. The breakfast was delicious, served with a buffet as well as hot plates made to order. The amenities in the spa were wonderful especially the sauna and the beautiful indoor pool. The gym had limited space and equipment but with all the other offerings in the spa, we were appreciative of how space was designed for what amenities were provided. Most definitely deserves the highest rating.
