Lusitana Hotel

The hotel room was excellent: The staff were friendly efficient and helpful; the room was clean, tidy, well decorated and suited our needs perfectly. There was a fridge along with tea/coffee making facilities and whilst there was only one plug socket for both the fridge and the kettle, that was easily solved by plugging the kettle into the wall. Be aware though there isn't a lift on the premises. The WiFi worked well too. We didn't have breakfast so I can't comment on that. Location-wise it's in an ideal area. It's a 10-15 minute walk from the nearest Metro station, which has a direct connection to the airport. A 20 minute walk will take you to a stop on the heritage tramway - well worth doing both lines. 30 minutes will find you in the historic centre and it's just a short walk from there to the riverfront. There's an excellent cafe/bar - Cafe Celia - about a 100 yards from the hotel where we had brunch and late night drinks every day of our stay and there's a supermarket just round the corner from the bar. The area is quiet at night. I would definitely recommend this hotel - we'll certainly be going back next time we visit Porto.

A very good 2x night stay here without complaints. A top floor twin room with views to rear of hotel over a small garden and outdoor patio area. Easy check in and pleasant staff. Little lounge to rear of foyer and access to garden. Open circular stairs and nice but no lift that I saw. Room clean and comfortable with facilities as listed. Good area with cafes and restaurants nearby. A nice 10-15min walk to attractions. Crystal park nearby and is worth the visit for tree covered walks and views over river. Would easily return.

Wonderful place. Very friendly staff, comfortable rooms where the cleanliness is remarkable, and a convenient location if you don't like the noise near the river. The only thing I would have liked to be different is the amount of toilet paper provided. We were two women on our period, and every day we were anxious because we had to make it with only one roll, while our needs were increased. We asked for extra paper at the reception, but every day the refill was just one roll per room. Other than that, I would definitely return if I ever came to Porto again.

Very friendly staff (hello Fernande), in everything they meet. For example, they brought a kettle to the room, which is not in the standard set. They also showed decency by reporting forgotten things at the hotel (we were able to pick them up on the way back). I was also struck by the fact that you can book a room without paying just by calling the hotel and telling the dates and the required rooms. It is located in a quiet place not far from the historical center. There is a small but cozy patio with two tables where you can sit with a laptop, have a bite to eat or just relax from the hustle and bustle of the tourist city. The photo shows a view from the second floor of a single room (street view) and a double room (looking into the courtyard). The same room, but the floor above (and this is the last floor) has its own balcony. In total, and in terms of price and quality, I put 5.

Brilliant hotel in a quiet area but not too far from the centre (walking distance). Yes the rooms are cosy but they’re spotlessly clean with all the amenities present for a comfortable stay. The staff was also friendly and they allowed me to use the main iron and also stored my bag after check out so that I could continue exploring. The hotel is also staffed 24/7 so you need to buzz the front door to get in which means it’s highly safe. The only downside is that the rooms are thin so you can hear people coming up and down as well as the shower being run next door. For me that was a minor as everything else was superb and I felt safe as a solo traveller. Oh, they also provide you with a map upon arrival which is handy but Google maps/Moovit on your phone works just as fine. Will definitely stay here again upon my return to Porto and great value for money!!
