Pestana Porto - A Brasileira

5-star hotel with a fantastic restaurant and relaxing cafe. The rooms are big, modern, first class, very clean. The service staff are friendly, particularly the front desk. Very accommodating. Great location that is close to everything. And one of the best reasons to be there is that the hotel has its own big café with a ton of indoor and outdoor seating where you can just sit back, relax, sip espresso, and people-watch. Highly recommend.

The stay here in Porto was wonderful. The staff in the dining room and cafes were so friendly and helpful. Henrique was attentive, checking in regularly to see how our family was doing and helping with food preferences. Thank you for a great time at breakfast!

Patricia in the restaurant is absolutely fantastic! She is so nice and even remembered my wife and I each day and our room #. She was so engaging and kind, while also being incredibly professional! She is the best and is a keeper for sure. My wife and I are on our honeymoon and had a lovely experience! The hotel is also beautiful and all staff are friendly and accomodating! THANK YOU!!!

Our stay at the Pestana A Brasileira was nothing short of amazing. We arrived around noon so our room wasn't ready, but Alex on Reception checked us in and offered to store our bags for us with friendly efficiency, so we could go out and begin exploring Porto and grab some lunch.|We arrived back at the hotel still a little early to check in so Alex pointed us towards the Cafe, where we were brilliantly looked after until we could get in our room.|Our room was on the first floor and was beautifully presented, spotlessly clean and had all of the facilities you would expect from such a high quality hotel.|In the evening, prior to going out for dinner, we opted to have a quick drink in the Cafe. It's an excellent place to sit and watch the world go by, either inside or out on the terrace. Again, over the three nights we were perfectly looked after by Mafalda, Rita, Christina, Ines, Patricia and Henrique, with his friendly charm and quirky humour.|Each morning, breakfast was served in the restaurant area and had everything you would want to choose from, again serviced by the excellent staff (do these guys never have a day off?).|Overall, an excellent stay at a top notch hotel in a beautiful city.

Our stay was made even more enjoyable thanks to the wonderful team at the hotel. Patrícia, Ana, and Joana gave us an exceptional breakfast experience — their attention, kindness, and cheerful energy were the perfect start to our day. The entire staff, including the front desk team, were equally impressive: welcoming, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. From check-in to breakfast, the service was flawless. Highly recommended!

Our stay at this hotel was very nice. The rooms were comfortable and quiet. The location was perfect..short walk from the train and easy walk to everything without being in the center of the cafe life. Front desk staff were amazing. Rita Teixeira was very welcoming and helpful for our morning breakfast experiences. Food was fresh. Not a large selection yet enough fresh and healthy options! Terrible coffee Gym is small with little not much equipment. Would stay here again!!

We have had a great few days staying here. Location is absolutely perfect for walking across the whole city. And we did! Special mention for the wonderful breakfasts and the high quality of the food and service. Big call out for Henrique - who’s humour and smile are the best thing to wake up to. Can’t wait to return!

What a wonderful hotel. Everything was perfect. Very pretty and clean room. Huge bathroom and shower. Kettle in the room to make the first coffee of the day before you go down to the beautiful café for breakfast. There's something for every taste. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. The location is great, close to a subway station but you can easily walk around Porto too. I highly recommend this hotel.

Service was very sllllllowwww, but the mini coffee snack I had was excellent. The place was pretty and lucky to escape the torrential rain. Lovely environment and everyone seemed so kind.

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in December in a Deluxe Double room and it was wonderful! My family and I booked 3 separate Deluxe Double rooms. Hubby and I arrived first because we took an earlier train from Lisbon. Initially, the other two rooms were on the same floor and ours was on a separate floor so I asked if it was possible for us to at all be together on the same floor, if not all of the rooms could be next to each other. They ended up upgrading us to a really nice suite! It had a little terrace you could open up and a separate sitting area. Lucky for us! Not so lucky for the other two rooms. Though their rooms were nice too, just not as spacious. Here are some of the pros/cons of our stay: Pros: -Spacious and clean rooms -Nice public sitting area outside of the suite rooms, where we could meet up before heading out -Mini fridge with bottled water and Coca Cola -Each floor has a different theme, which I thought was really cool. You'll see a different scent-themed decor (and smell) for each. For example, one floor was coffee, another was chili, and another was star anise -Very reasonably prices. We booked through Hotels.com and paid maybe about ​​€110 per night, including taxes -Great location! It's right in the center of Porto and most of the tourist attractions and good restaurants are 5-10 minute walk away -Huge bathroom with his and hers sinks and plenty of space underneath for your toiletries -Comfortable beds/pillows. Although it wasn't a true King size, more like two twins pushed together but I think that's just a European thing -Bath robes -Free welcome drink at their hotel bar (which you don't have to use on the same night as you check in if you're too tired) -They let us check in early at around 12:30 even though check-in is not until 2 or 3 Cons: -There is construction going on outside so it's a little bit more difficult (though not impossible) to get an Uber outside. We took an Uber from the Santa Apolonia train station. He couldn't drop us off right in front but it was still just around the corner, so it wasn't terrible even with our huge luggages Honestly, I can't really think of any cons other than that. Highly recommend Pestana Porto. Might be one of the best hotels I've stayed at in Europe!

My view is of the restaurant only, didn't stay at the hotel. Very mediocre for the price yet I was getting too hungry. Had the shrimp salad with a glass of vinho verde. Waitstaff were rather slow yet cordial. Pass it by if you see it. Interior is lovely of an era from the past.

This hotel is 3.5 starts property. The quality of amenities, rooms and service are nowhere near 5 stars. The beds are hard, and two twins moved together so not make a king! Everything is just cheap and no attention to detail. Towels are scratchy, bathroom has no ventilation, water temp fluctuates on its own, materials used in bathroom feel more motel than hotel. No ability of initiative to solve issues. Bed is hard, shelf is broken and they just say oh housekeeping is gone for the night and so is maintenance, hmmm really? Well perhaps front desk guy can show more initiative. No coffee maker in the room either.

Great hotel, réception staff helped me with a difficult situation. Unbeknownst to me, I had scheduled my staff during one of the biggest festivals in Porto. Celebrating St João day. Streets are blocked surrounding the hotel. Luckily for me the reception worked with the police, so I could leave the hotel. The hotel has several restaurants ; one of which I tried. A Brasilera. Room was quiet, comfortable with a view of the street. One of the things that was so unique about the hotel was each floor had a scent. My floor was cinammon. Scent of cinammon wafted in the air, the picture in the room was of cinammon sticks. This hotel is centrally located. There are restaurants located within walking distance. I would recommend staying at this hotel.

This hotel exceeded our expectations and if we return to Porto we are staying here again. We reserved a Deluxe room (thinking we wanted to stay on a high floor to avoid street noise) and due to our anniversary we were upgraded to a Master Suite room Here are the benefits: - Super comfortable beds (I tend to like firmer beds and our bed hit the spot) - Great spacious showers with great water pressure - Amazing staff here are some examples: 1. No parking on site but, unsolicited the bellman offered and went with me (in my car) to ensure I parked in the proper garage (as I do not speak Portugese). Who does that?? 2. Susanna the manager was eager to help me get my bearings and made wonderful suggestions as well booked a tour to Duoro for us last minute. Never once making me feel like I was imposing on her time and always in a genuine friendly manner. 3. Pedro, another Bellman, went WAY WAY above and beyond to assist my wife and I with a car rental issue we experienced. Caring at every moment that we were OK and doing whatever he could (reaching and speaking Portugese with the rental company, etc.) This young man was very impressive and treated us like he would his own family (at least the ones he likes :) - Very clean hotel and an awesome warm modern design/vibe. - Can't beat the location in Porto for access to everything. - Their buffet breakfast was extremely well done. Try to get yours included, it cost 18Euro each (so a bit on the pricey side) but well worth it. This hotel has only been open for 4 months and they are doing things the right way. I highly recommend anyone visiting Porto for pleasure or business to give this place a try, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Susanna and Pedro to showing us what Porto is all about!!

Wonderful hotel in the heart of Porto. The staff is lovely& very helpful. Rooms are very clean& comfortable. Air conditioner is the BEST. Wonderful coffee in your room. Gym is nice& has everything you need. Complimentary water in your room& Port in the lobby. Love this hotel!

We had lunch a la carte. Vegetable soup, cauliflower salad and a chicken salad. We were alone in the restaurant and the service was great. So was the food. They offered us bread with olive oil and specialty, flavored butters which is extra but great with the soup. Only one question - why is the soup yellow when it's mostly potatoes? Maybe Portuguese potatoes are yellow because the wait staff said they don't use saffron. Cost was reasonable - more than the fixed price menu but still good value in a nice ambiance in an upscale neighborhood and beautiful ambiance.
