Porto A.S. 1829 Hotel

The location of this hotel is absolutely perfect—you're close to everything you could possibly need, from restaurants and shops to key attractions. The staff were warm and helpful throughout our stay, and the overall experience was fantastic. The only odd moment was one morning when a front desk staff member recommended we eat at Starbucks, claiming everything nearby was closed due to a holiday. But when we stepped outside, we found that nearly all the restaurants in plain view from the lobby were open. So while the service overall was great, I'd suggest double-checking any local recommendations, especially when it comes to food. That said, I'd absolutely stay here again. The beds were very comfortable, and the rooms had a charming, welcoming feel. Highly recommend!

From the moment I arrived at Porto A.S. 1829 Hotel, I was enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The breathtaking architecture, steeped in history, immediately caught my eye and set the stage for a memorable stay.

The attention to detail in every aspect of the hotel, from the decor to the amenities, truly reflects a commitment to guest satisfaction. My room was a haven of comfort, beautifully appointed with modern touches while still honoring the building's rich heritage. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches that made my stay even more enjoyable. Location-wise, Porto A.S. 1829 Hotel is ideally situated, allowing easy access to some of the city's most iconic attractions. After a day of exploring, I relished returning to the hotel for a cozy evening, where I could unwind with a drink and soak in the ambiance - outdoors. Overall, my experience at Porto A.S. 1829 Hotel was nothing short of magical. I left with cherished memories and a desire to return. If you're looking for a place that combines history, comfort, and impeccable service, I wholeheartedly recommend you try it out for yourself. You won’t be disappointed!

Amazing stay at this property. Incredible location and the staff was exceptional. Mariana at the front desk was elite. I checked in early with my fiance and the room we were originally given was a little too noisy for us as the street outside can get rather lively. Mariana promptly changed our room and even gave us a free upgrade. The rooms are great although as an american from Florida the AC was a little lacking (as to be expected in Europe). Breakfast was great and had an amazing stay. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Porto!

Absolutely LOVED the Porto A.S. 1829 Hotel! Great location and great staff! Mariana (Marina?) was so helpful from the moment we arrived! The breakfast in the morning was delicious and fresh. The rooms were perfect and spacious for the price you pay. I would absolutely come back to this property! I also stayed at their Sister Hotel in Lisbon, Lisboa Pessoa and I couldn't recommend it enough!

Outstanding stay here We arrived on the day of the huge St John's party and this gave us a ringside seat It was one heck of a party! 🥳 Our room was amazing. Very comfortable and the perfect place to relax and enjoy the live singers in the square outside. Restaurant attached does outstanding food Breakfast buffet was very good with a wide selection Staff couldn't have been more helpful from arrival to departure Highly recommended

Wonderful hotel. Clean, comfortable. Excellent reception. Free Port Wine and Pastel de Nata's at reception. Only issue is that the hotel room was right over a busy square where musicians played. Thankfully, this ended by 10 pm and we were not in the room much during the day. But, we had our fill of Neil Diamond and John Denver songs! Why cant they do Portuguese songs?

It’s a great locations surrounded by restaurants and tour spots, also good quality street performance is right in front of it (they usually would stop at 10 pm). Service was nice and friendly. Only down side was the room itself, it’s dated, bath tub was old and chipped, closet door was almost fall apart, and there were mosquitoes (we did not open any windows). Overall was ok since we appreciate its location.

A superb location, lovely room with a small secluded balcony. In the entrance is a beautiful art shop with loads of interesting things. Especially old pens. The shop was definitely worth a visit. The Breakfast was a little disappointing. A great selection but the quality needs to be improved. Scrambled eggs very dry and tasteless. Pastry items need to be better quality. Coffee excellent. Would be stay again. Yes. But no breakfast.

We loved this place! Hands down the best food!! The location, service amazing. The pork is delicious and the desert was an extremely good! Delicious unforgettable. Not enough compliments! The pasteleiro amazing

This hotel has so much going for it... PRO'S: - excellent location with shops and restaurants right outside the door - a young, enthusiastic and helpful staff. Kudos to the gal who works the front desk (unfortunately, I can't recall her name, but I believe she may be the only female front desk attendant), who so graciously recommended some fabulous restaurants for us! - complimentary Portugese Egg Tarts and port, which seemingly was available 24/7 - a nice sit-down breakfast in a Michelin star restaurant, located in the lobby - a mini fridge stocked with complimentary snacks and drinks - a basic room that did the job CON: All that being said, there's one aspect that was not so appealing, which was the clawfoot bathtub/shower combo. It's literally located in the bedroom, separated only by a partition. Whenever we showered, humidity filled the room, which is a huge pet peeve of mine. I doubt this is a European feature, since I've traveled all over Europe and have never encountered this. Also, the shower curtain definitely needs to be replaced, as it was moldy on the bottom. Yuck! Because of this, I left the curtain wrapped around the outside of the tub, which resulted in water all over the floor. Neither a practical or good set-up at all! To top all that off, the most frustrating aspect, and I'd go out on a limb to say even dangerous aspect of the clawfoot tub/shower in our room, was the fact that the tub wasn't even bolted down. When Hubby was showering, he swore he felt that the tub was sinking into the floor. I thought he might have had too much to drink, except for the fact that he barely even drinks. So, how could that possibly be?!? Upon further inspection, I noticed that the tub wasn't at all stable, and that I could easily push it back and forth. What?!? We notified the front desk, and they fixed it but that was plain unsafe. How could a bathtub be wobbly whenever you moved around in it? That was really an accident just waiting to happen!! If you can tolerate the clawfoot tub/shower I think you'll find this hotel flawless. Just take this aspect into consideration, since you'll be showering everyday, right?!?

Wonderful hotel with friendly helpful staff. Super location for walking the City and seeing all Porto has to offer. Only concern was the bathtub /shower Combo. Not meant for adults. Too small to bath or shower easily. For the price we paid it would have been nice to have proper shower. Other rooms I'm sure have better. Great breakfast.

For our stay in Porto we choose this extremely well situated hotel in the historical center of Porto. The hotel has been freshly stablished in an historical building giving a real charm to the place and to the rooms. The service was friendly already before arrival - it is always nice to receive an email q few days before a stay to check if everything is all right and to provide some info on the city. While onsite the service has continued to be great!

Hotel was wonderful with amazingly helpful staff, great location, fabulous restaurant, best breakfast buffet. Only drawback was the odd tub/shower arrangement as noted in other reviews. Otherwise was perfect

Our stay at this hotel has been storybook magic. We had a wonderful room over a historical plaza that provided endless views and entertainment. The staff was more than highly accommodating and friendly. They cared very much about the quality of our stay. We fell in love with one of the hotel concierges, Bruno. He was above and beyond with service, humor and help. A close second were the rest of the waiters and reception. The restaurant has an amazing vegetable soup and great wine. An amazing location as well. Also, this hotel is concerned with eco-sustainability and it walks the way it talks. STAY HERE!
