I had a wonderful stay at Grande Hotel Do Porto, with its charming atmosphere and friendly staff. though I did encounter some challenges with access by car. The central location made walking around Porto quite convenient, allowing me to explore shops and attractions easily. Overall, my experience was mostly positive, but the hotel could benefit from addressing its parking situation.

I had a good stay at Grande Hotel Do Porto, which is perched right in the heart of the action on Rua de Santa Catarina. The hotel has this historic charm that’s really appealing, though it's a bit aged and could use some refreshment. The breakfast offered a decent selection, but I was hoping for more fresh fruit options to match the city's bounty. Overall, the staff were super helpful, making my experience enjoyable despite a few minor hiccups.

Facilities were basic, and I found it odd that there were no tea or coffee makers in the room. The lounge areas were cozy, though, which was nice for unwinding.
