Porto A.S. 1829 Hotel

In a city like Porto nothing is in a perfect location as the daily destinations vary a lot but this was about as close to a perfect location as can be, close to the river front but also the uphill areas. The staff was fantastic. Kind and helpful. The breakfast was very, very good, buffet with a lot of variety and of high quality. The room (309) was fabulous, large and comfortable enough to enjoy the city for two weeks!

We stayed at Porto A.S. 1829 Hotel for just two nights, but the experience was truly exceptional. The location couldn't be better—centrally situated and within walking distance of all the city's historic landmarks. It's easily accessible by train and surrounded by great restaurants and tourist attractions. The room was cozy, with a comfortable bed and soft, high-quality linens that made for a restful stay. One of the highlights was a wonderful surprise from the hotel staff. They somehow found out it was my partner’s birthday and surprised us with a decadent flourless chocolate cake and a bottle of champagne, delivered personally to our room. It was such a thoughtful and memorable gesture. Although we didn’t try the breakfast, we appreciated the convenience of the elevators, which were always available when needed. Overall, a charming stay with personalized touches that made it feel extra special. Would definitely return!

Best location if you want to be near the Ribeira and main attractions. I stayed 2 nights during the busiest weekend of the year, the Sao Jao festival. The Ribeira area was completely pack of people enjoying the nice area and good weather. The hotel was only 10 minutes walking distance; close enough to enjoy and far enough from the heavy crowds (due to festival). Also walking distance to main attractions in Porto and across the bridge to visit wineries at Vila Nova de Gaia. The hotel was in general very nice and nicely decorated. My room was above expectations: great size, comfy bed, nice view facing the Ribeira area, good bathroom size. Free porto wine and pasteles de nata at the lobby. Very attentive personnel and very good breakfast. At night, when all restaurant were full, the hotel restaurant saved me a place and food/wine/attention was 5-star. I would definitely recommend and stay again. Next time for 3 or more nights. The hotel does not have a parking but there is public payed parking 300 meters from the hotel.

Location was central and walkable to most of the sites and shopping area. Also very close to the Sao Bento train station. A taxi ride to the Camphana bus station though. The room although not big, was very comfortable and bright with plenty of hangers and coffee/tea facilities. The bathroom also not large but had lovely soaps and creams supplied, the shower was great and linen was fresh and good quality.

The location of Hotel is excellent, everything in walking distance and easy to access other modes of transport e.g Metro and train station. Don't be put off about the street buskers around the areas as finish at 10pm. The staff are very friendly and helpful regarding restaurant recommendations, taxis/directions etc -standard of English is high! The breakfast is very good, freshly stocked and lots of variety -catering for all tastes. The staff are very efficient, friendly and attentive.
