Hospes Infante Sagres Porto - Small Luxury Hotels Of The World

We look for a hotel which is:||centrally located||near a variety of restaurants||in a safe area||is highly rated by other travelers||This hotel fulfilled all those criteria and more. An ample breakfast was included, service was welcoming and a special shout out to the extremely patient and helpful concierges, Rui and Jorge, for all their assistance. The metro is very close by, as is one of the main train stations.||As a bonus, the hotel interior is over the top beautiful and the rooms have been recently renovated. More storage space would be appreciated.||Having said all that, we will be candid about a few details which need to be told, if we are totally honest. ||Don't expect much from the pool. It is postage stamp size.||For a five star hotel which this is, we would expect better towels. They were frayed, threadbare, rough and stained on one occasion.||Our final point is something to be aware of, but we don't know what the hotel can do about it. The restaurants nearby are terrific and numerous. Unfortunately, the noise and revelry from these establishments is unacceptably loud at all hours of the night on a random basis. Perhaps this is why the hotel provides a kit which includes ear plugs. Some nights were fine, but others were very noisy. Perhaps it would be a good idea to contact the hotel to find out which rooms are quieter before making reservations.

Historic Lobby and public rooms are quite beautiful and the service was excellent. We also enjoyed the 2nd floor pool area and the very good bar/restaurant Scarlett, As many guests have commented the guest rooms (and bathrooms) are small and somewhat dated. Our room was on the side street and we didn't have any noise problems. Very convenient location about 2 blocks from the main square with city hall. From there it's a fairly straight route down to the river,

The reception area was a bit confusing, I initially thought the security counter was the reception, but the actual one is inside the room. The hotel itself is old but has a charming, aesthetic vibe and is a pretty cool place to stay in Porto. The breakfast was good, and the location is great. The pool is on the smaller side, and I didn’t get to use it since the weather wasn’t ideal during my stay. It also has a unique old fashioned elevator with a couch, which added to the experience. Overall, it was a cool stay, though they mentioned they’d give me banana bread, and I never received it.

Well, I just got back from my stay at the Infante Sagres, and I have to say — it was just lovely from start to finish.||From the moment I arrived, everyone was so kind and attentive. Rafael, the bellboy, was a real sweetheart and went out of his way to help me with my luggage and make sure I was settled in. And Margarita at the front desk made check-in a breeze — she was so pleasant and professional, just a joy to talk to after a long day of travel.||The hotel itself is beautiful, but it’s really the people who made it special. Every staff member I came across had a smile and was happy to help. It felt like they truly cared.||Breakfast was delicious both mornings — everything was fresh and well-prepared. A big thank you to the chef in charge; you could really taste the care in every bite.||If I ever find myself back in Porto, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommend.||— Linda Mae, Arkansas

The lobby and main areas are unique and beautiful. Stained glass and sweeping staircases and a quirky lift. It is central.|However, the rooms are very small considering the price and are quaint but not well designed for today's travellers. The wardrobes are small and impractical. The bathrooms are ok but the lighting is very poor, it's impossible to see to put on make up etc. |Some rooms are noisy depending on where they are in the hotel.|The bed was very comfortable.|Service was variable, some staff very helpful and friendly, others very obstructive when making a reasonable request.|Breakfast was good quality, serve yourself buffet style but food allowed to run out and then a long wait for replacements.|Overall poor value, wouldn't recommend and wouldn't want to stay again.

From arrival to the day of departure it was a truly enchanted stay. But beyond the magical aspect, the big difference lends itself to all employees with whom we cross paths. Of tireless friendliness and professionalism. From the porters, to the breakfast and reception always ready to give the best suggestions and smiles. A good one to everyone and we will certainly come back

We recently stayed at Hospes Infante Sagres for our wedding celebrations, including hosting our mehndi event at the hotel, and we cannot put into words how exceptional our experience was—thanks almost entirely to Ana Christine and her incredible management. From the very beginning, Ana went above and beyond in every single way. Planning a wedding from abroad is complicated, but she managed every detail with such ease, professionalism, and care that it felt effortless on our end. We had a large group of guests staying at the hotel as well as renting the venue for our celebration, which could have easily become overwhelming, yet Ana made the entire process seamless. She coordinated logistics flawlessly—accommodations, vendor communications, event setup, and the endless moving pieces that come with a cultural wedding celebration. More importantly, she did it all with warmth, kindness, and genuine care. It never once felt transactional; it felt like she truly cared about our experience, our guests’ comfort, and the success of our special day. Every challenge that arose, Ana solved with a smile and a calm confidence that immediately reassured us. She anticipated needs before we even voiced them, provided thoughtful recommendations, and always made herself available, no matter the time. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she took ownership of everything so that we could actually relax and enjoy the celebration with our loved ones. Our guests were equally impressed—not just by the beauty of the hotel, but by how cared for they felt under Ana’s management. From check-in to the event itself, every single guest commented on how smooth and welcoming the experience was. Hospes Infante Sagres is a beautiful venue in its own right, but what made our stay truly unforgettable was Ana’s dedication, heart, and professionalism. She turned what could have been a stressful, complex wedding weekend into something magical, easy, and full of joy. We are endlessly grateful to her and could not recommend both the hotel and Ana highly enough. If you are planning an event or even just considering a stay, trust us—you will be in the very best hands with Ana Christine.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The hotel is nothing short of a truly tasteful masterpiece! The staff is nothing short of warm and welcoming. The location is incredibly convenient. We do want to add that Ana Silva, the manager that attended to us was nothing short of a sweet heart! She was so accommodating and incredibly helpful. We actually felt a pang of sadness when we said goodbye. We highly recommend Infante Sagres💕

The hotel is located in central Porto and is a walkable distance to every major tourist location, including about a 30-45 min walk to the Port houses across the river. The hotel is beautifully appointed, having recently been renovated, with attention paid to period details. I was impressed by the delicious breakfast service. I particularly appreciated the attentive and extremely friendly service of the hotel staff, some even referring to me by name multiple days after checking. I felt the staff went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. We splurged for the junior suite as we had 3 of us traveling together and it was very comfortable with the addition of a cot in the room. Or note, the restaurant has an extremely tasty and affordable happy hour with 1€ oysters on the half shell. I look forward to visiting again soon!

Elegant hotel. Great location in the city center. Easy to walk everywhere. Attentive staff. Special shout out to the concierge who helped us with trains and reservations. The breakfast is extensive and includes everything you could possibly want. There is a small lounge pool with a beautiful sun deck. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are a good size. The marble bathroom has a tub and shower and is very big.

Very central location. We walked everywhere during our 3 night stay here. Very close to the train station where we took the train from Coimbra. And also walkable to metro station for airport. The front desk greeted us with choice of port wine. We had no idea there was Pink port and how delicious it was! We asked where it was from and ended up visiting Calem for some port wine tasting. (not to be missed) The staff was really friendly and courteous. Since I used a white cane, someone always rushed to push the elevator button for me and held the door for me! And they remember hubby's name and greeted him with Good evening, Mr. (lastname.) Talking about top notch customer service. Buffet breakfast at the Vogue Restaurant was really good and fancy. Love the high end vintage feel. The only minor downside is it's slightly noisy at night. We could hear people partying at the square downstairs way past 3am. If you are a light sleeper, maybe can request a quiet room or wear earplugs. Would stay here again!

Great location in Porto. Fantastic brunch selection. Lovely outdoor patio. One evening we sat on the patio and played games and had appetizers. Very accommodating and friendly staff. Easy location to meet up with local tour groups, too. Small pool area, but nice. Definitely would stay there again,

Booked this hotel through Made for Spain and Portugal, supposedly a 5 Star hotel, it's anything but. We've had constant issues with the thermostat in our room, which, every time you take the key card out of the lights so let reverts to 28 degrees Celsius (about 85 F) The parking situation is a complete joke, firstly no valet option and the nearest public parking lot is always full meaning one has to drive 5 blocks away and park in the local department store underground parking, which also runs out of spots. The rooms are just ok, but very noisy given the location near many late night clubs. One of the worst hotel experiences I've had in a long time!

Very nice, enjoyed our stay. This was booked for us through our travel agent and included breakfast. Breakfast had plenty of options. Rooms were very nice. Excellent shower. Nice bathroom products (although I wish they had provided lotion). Staff was very pleasant. They even provided us with boxed breakfast on our last day since we had a very early train (we did put in a request for this).
