Porto Hotels

[craig1912]

Staying in Lisbon atm in a lovely hotel.

Just used a BA companion voucher for a trip to Porto in early October. It has been 45 years since I was last there!!

Any recommendations for hotel and area to stay?

Obrigado!

I stayed at the Torel Avantgarde last year which I thought was exceptional (service/rooms/views).

It’s in a quiet area about 10/15 min walk into the city. Bolt/Uber taxis were also abundant and cheap.

It’s a wonderful city.

Perhaps not what you are after (as it's an aparthotel) but stayed here for a week in October 2024 and it was superb and really well placed for access to the riverside and Gaia, and the owners were such nice people.

There's a restuarant called Farro nearby which was stunning, and very reasonable - check it out if you do go.

I was bowled over by Porto, preferred it to Lisbon and we were blessed with fantastic weather in October (though not typical as I understand it). Can't wait to go again and now that flights are being run from Newcastle it's on our list again for 2026

Stayed at HotelBessa Baixa last November for three nights. Good rooms and service was faultless, no hesitation to recommend.
We were given an upgrade, with no extra charge to a room with jacuzzi, which was great.

absolutely LOVE Porto

Such a different vibe from Lisbon (which I also love)

Can't add about hotels as we stay with family there but hopefully you'll love the place.

Especially if you like Port as much as I do!

...an afternoon tasting in the Quevedo Port House is not to be missed!

Stayed at Pestana Vintage. Right on the waterfront.
