The hotel location was great and the beds were comfortable. However, some aspects were lacking. The wifi was spotty and kicked us off constantly. The hotel restaurant was just awful - my pasta was grey, oily, and the vegetables were mushy, as if out of a can. On the day we arrived I discovered a lot of hairs on the... More

We went to Porto to sing with our choir, which went OK. We decide to extend our stay and visit places outside Porto but on the second full day a trip in the nearby square resulted in a wife with a fractured femur and the rest of the time was in hospital (her) and going to and from it (me).... More

There isn't much to commend this hotel to anyone beyond (at least in theory) a great central location, a reasonably attractive lobby and pleasant staff. Ceilings are low in the rooms and our room didn't have much natural light. Breakfast is verging on being awful; all the things you would expect were there but it's of 2 - 3 star... More

Comfortable hotel at the top of the hill in Porto, but not too far from the waterfront if you don't mind the walk uphill. It is also not far from the funicular should you decide not to walk. The hotel itself is nothing to write home about on the outside, but inside it was quite nice. The rooms were plenty... More

The Mercure Porto Centro was located within walking distance from the bus station but it was also in a very good,safe section of town. Around the corner were many nice shops, cafes, and a convenient tour bus stop. The hotel staff could not have been more helpful or nicer. They made restaurant reservations for us and made good suggestions. Our... More

Porto is an ancient town surrounded by many tourist attractions, this hotel to see it from the outside does not represent its facilities, which are very appropriate to its location near tourist sites makes this advisable. It has Wi-Fi, no parking.

Good location close to central Porto, everything within walking distance. Rooms are clean, though a bit dated. Lazily ordered room service knowing it would be nothing amazing, but it was horrible and as always overpriced. Private off-street parking is a plus. Staff were friendly enough. It is slightly overpriced for what you get as there are other great hotels in... More

We booked this hotel based on previous reviewers comments on location but we found it to be away from the centre. Yes, there is a steep hill to the hotel which is not a problem, we just expected it to be closer to the town. The area surrounding the hotel is not the most desirable with graffiti tagging and quite... More

We were on the 5th floor with great view of the city. The room was nice and clean, but not very sound proof. The staff in the lobby and breakfast restaurant were very friendly, but you can't say the same for the staff in the bar and evening restaurant.
