    Pros +

    • Hotel was nice.
    • Breakfast was excellent the pastries were great
    • Great location across from the newly renovated park. You can easily walk all over the city. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They have very reasonable parking on site which is a big help if you bring your car to the city. We had our dog with us and there weren’t any problems. It’s a renovated gem of a building. Very nicely redone. We had a beautiful terrace looking out over the city towards the river. The room and the bathroom were spacious. We will stay again.

    Cons -

    • The man that checked us in was trying to give us a lecture and spoke to us very mean because we forgot to check in my friend electronically prior to checking in in person.
    • The carpet in our room should be replaced and the room could use some paint.
    • The breakfast was disappointing. With all the great cafes within walking distance it’s better to go out.

    Its nice to have a hotel parking though it's 13 euros/night. The room was spacious, bathroom & bed good. Plenty of hangers, nice view, breakfast, everything sufficient. It's about a 23 minute walk to the downtown or 5 minutes to the Trindade Metro. 2 more stops gets you to the Sao Bento downtown Metro.

    It would be nice to have 2 comfortable chairs in room 32.

    Great staff, good location next to a lot of great places I wanted to visit!

    The carpet in the room was stained and smelled weird.

    8ColleenPosted on: 6-24-2025

    The location was good, the view from the room was lovely. The breakfast was nice.

    There was a lot of lost in translation with the communication before arrival. The room was worn around the edges, but clean.

    Be aware of “price switching” and “room switching.” We received an “urgent” email during our two day stay saying we needed to immediately remove our bags from our current room on the fourth floor to a room in the basement, with no notice either at the time of booking, when we arrived in the evening, or in the morning before heading out for the day.

    Cozy and clean

    very loud noise of footsteps on the ground floor making it difficult to sleep

    4StephaniePosted on: 4-14-2025

    The place was in a decent spot on the outskirts of a cool area. Unfortunately the hotel was filthy and looked nothing like the clean photos online. The bedroom had the most disgusting brown carpet and the walls doors and furniture looked like they have never been cleaned. There was mold all over the walls in the bathroom with no ventilation. I regretted my booking the moment I stepped foot in the door. Don’t make the same mistake that I did.

    Beautiful, historic building with a nice ambiance. I stayed in the roof floor. Unfırtunately my room didn't have any scene. The other rooms must be much better. The hotel is located in the city center. Very nice accomodation.

    10MatthewPosted on: 4-7-2025

    Location, staff and room were all fantastic.Everyone was so kind to our boys (4 & 1) and made check in/out and meal time so easy.Breakfast was a great start to each day and always fresh and delicious.

    Maybe some plant based milk or yoghurt at breakfast.

    Grand old mansion, restored and transformed into a hotel. Location is on Praça da República, which is a 10 walk from the main Trindade metro station, so it is easy to get around the city on foot or by public transport. Staff was very kind and efficient, ready to help whenever needed. Everything was clean and neat, the room exactly as pictured on Booking. There was a nice common area where one could have breakfast or hang out, a luggage room if needed and elevator. I would definitely consider returning!

    Nothing wrong - just a word of caution for those who don't know Porto. The garden in Praça da República is undergoing construction work. Also, sometimes there are some shady characters about the square, though they never give anyone any problems. I walked around alone, both during the daytime and night-time (for example, when coming "home" from late dinners) - nobody ever gave me any problems.

    The location and the staff are nice.

    During my stay there, there was no hot water in this cold weather. There is construction just outside that goes on 24/7 so the nights are not quiet. I don’t know if it’s the train or what but there’s this vibration sensation like the door and bed are shaking. Not ideal for a light sleeper like me. I woke up quite a lot at night . Apart from that, it’s a nice place to stay at. I’d go back if there was no construction around there.

    The Overall aesthetic of the hotel. The old timey small elevator. The breakfast was perfect for the area we were in. Proprietar was friendly and accommodating. And we had a bidet.

    Only downside was the door leading to the balcony was off its hinge so we didn’t bother to go outside nor did we say anything about a repair while there

    We stayed at Rex Hotel with our daughter of 9 months old and we love it! The hotel was very family friendly, the room was spacious and warm. The bathroom was clean and efficient and the shower hot and with pressure. We choose the room with a splendid terrace. The location is perfect, close to Lapa metro station and Trindade. We will come back for sure!

    Only two things could be improved, but they didn't affect too much our stay. The carpet of our room needs renovation/substitution and the curtain needs to be fixed in one side.

    Very spacious, clean and comfortable hotel based in good location, friendly and helpful staff.

    9IbtiPosted on: 1-31-2025

    The hosts are super friendly and nice. The location is very good, central and still away of noisy streets. The room is clean, beds are comfortable, quiet and has a very relaxing terrace. We brought our dog with us and he was welcome for extra fee, also parking is available for extra fee

    nothing :)

    7RoyPosted on: 1-25-2025

    Free car parking was an unexpected bonus. Also, the car park was very easy to access. The room was very spacious though basically furnished. Shower was very good and cleanliness throughoutwas good. The staff were also friendly and helpful.

    The location could have been a little more central, but apart from that, everything was fine
