Hotels Near Almada de Branco in Porto

The location is super good, just next to the train station. Take a taxi to the airport for more than 20 minutes. Walk to the most lively river for ten minutes, not far from other places. The facilities are very new and simple. One problem is that there is no door between the shower and the room, and privacy is inconvenient.

Reasonably priced hotel a short walk away from all the sights of Porto. No-frills but has everything you need - nice clean room, air conditioning, comfortable bed. A bottle of drinking water is refreshed every day which is very welcome. Breakfast plentiful and tasty. Staff were very busy as the hotel was full but everyone was very helpful and pleasant. A special thank you to Maria on the front desk who confirmed our taxi transfer to the airport and provided us with breakfast boxes for the journey because we left before the restaurant opened.

The hotel is located in a very good state of the city and is very new. The hotel is very helpful, careful and pleasant! Some basic services are paid as a shower towel or a slipper.

Lovely hotel in Porto. What made it for me was the rooftop area and the bar service on the 8th floor, it was so calming and peaceful. Little things let this stay down for me however, in particular house keeping. I was there for a total of 5 nights and twice I had to go ask for more water and towels. They didn't replenish coffee, or even change the dirty coffee mugs for clean ones. As I say just the things you would expect. Location was good, but not fantastic for being right in the life of things without hilly climbs.

Great hotel. Has everything going for it. Breakfast good choice. Room good size . All amenities. House staff lovely and helpful. Restaurant excellent, worthwhile booking to ensure a seat. Spa and indoor pool very relaxing.

Decent hotel, very clean not too far from the tourist places. All the staffs are very nice. Especially Ms. Sophia (Breakfast Buffet Area) who’s always present whenever we need anything. The room is clean, they clean everyday but they forgot to refill the liquid body soap container. Needed to ask the reception for a refill and they’re action was prompt. It’s just that it’s a bit hot (AC not so good) Overall, we had a lovely stay.

Hotel was probably about 0.5ml from Marques metro stop. No issues on arrival slightly earlier than official check-in and allocated room on third floor. Room was reasonable size, clean, but with limited storage facilities and no safe. Twin beds were basic and not overly comfy but acceptable. Shower was like turning on a tap (no spray) and bathroom became very hot as internal and contained hot water cylinder. Towels were not changed but left to dry for re-use so trying to reduce energy use. Breakfast was reasonable, had to ask for cold milk for cereal as only hot provided. Rest was rolls, ham, cheese and jams. Coffee was a bit stewed and strong with fruit juice available. Check out straightforward with bill as expected, and able to leave luggage for later collection. No close by restaurants found for evening meal but several cafe's for snacks in the area.

I arrived at the hotel on 20 November 2022 for a 5 night stay. The stay was business related and with so many hotels to choose from, I decided to go with the Porto Palacio. What an excellent choice! The hotel is absolutely brilliant - I cannot find a fault. Check-in was very smooth and on arrival to the room - wow - very modern, crisp clean sheets on the bed and a spacious room. In terms of food, the Breakfast experience was the best part of the stay for me. I have stayed in many hotels around the world - both on a personal basis and a business basis - I can honestly say that the breakfast staff at the Porto Palacio are the best I've ever come across. On arrival, I was seated quickly. On Day 1, the staff members memorised what I had that cannot be chosen by the buffet - for example, a tea and two plates (as I like two plates) - on Days 2 and for the rest of the trip, I didn't even need to ask. I was called by my Title and Surname on arrival. The whole experience was brilliant. I would like to mention a lady called Rosa and another lady (they both greet staff members at the door) - their hospitality skills are great and they are always smiling - nothing is too much for them. I didn't eat at the restaurant in the evening but had room service as personally, I like to relax after a day at the office. The food was of good quality and was tasty and piping hot. I used the gym during my stay - the gym is open to members of the public, therefore is not your usual hotel gym. It's huge - there are loads of machines and I was never waiting for someone to finish using something. Staff members are friendly. All in all - a brilliant stay and is a genuine 5 star hotel! I will return to the Porto Palacio both on a business basis and also on a personal basis - Porto looks like a great city! It's a shame that I didn't have time to look around as I had a busy schedule but I will certainly be back! Thank you!!

Stayed four night as a base for Porto centre. Would give it 3.5 if possible to use halfs. Rooms were clean although showing signs of wear. Bed made up daily and fresh towels. Lack of shelf space in cupboard. Used for breakfast once but also tried the Mitica Inspiracao out of the back door twice for a more relaxed setting and no temptation to overfill v the buffet. Shower has good temperature and flow. Friendly and helpful reception staff. Nearby supermarket for anything you need. The bus from the airport took 50 mins during the morning midweek, and initially goes away from the hotel before heading back towards it. If I was doing it again I would take the Metro to Ramalde the nearest stop and then get an Uber to the hotel. The airport Metro is just behind the road at arrivals. Bus 304 seemed the quicker bus than the 300 or 301 into town. Had issues with bus reliability getting back from town after 8pm using information from route planner on Google maps .. chasing round various bus stops near the Town Hall Square to no avail. Ended up prefering to get the Metro back to Ramalde and then €3 for an Uber. Opted to use luggage lockers at Trindade Metro, €6 small for upto 12 hours rather than detour back to the hotel on the last day. Other sizes available but limited availability.

A four star hotel with excelent services, the accommodation, service, reception staff are quite qualified. They offer maps and information about touristic objectives in Porto and arounds. The only minus is not near the old town, Ribeira is proper for people with car.
