Predicados do Douro Palace

From the main train station, we caught the metro to Lapa then backpacked over to the hotel, this took us about fifteen minutes, as we were approaching I became concerned that we could be in for a noisy night, fortunately I had booked a room at the back of the hotel with a view of the back garden otherwise street noise might have been an issue. |The room was as I was expecting from the online images, I loved the tall balcony doors and sheer curtains in our room, four pillows on the bed and air-conditioning, unfortunately the shower water was only ever luke warm.|The decor of the hotel is pleasant but the dining room was extra inviting and most relaxing especially at breakfast time. The breakfast buffet was plentiful with a good range of cold sweet and savoury, we very much enjoyed the cheese and cured meats platter. |The hotel has a cafe attached which is open to the public, at night the noise drifts through the hotel and can be heard even with the doors closed and the air-conditioning on until 10pm.|There was minimal staff interactions, we only spoke to a female staff member at check-in briefly and never saw another during our overnight stay, I prefer interactions.|The hotel was well located for our stay, fifteen minutes to the nearest metro (Lapa) and centre, more importantly just ten minutes away from the Duoro River to start our Camino walking.

The room was beautiful, beds very comfy. We had a family room - with two separate rooms and 1 bathroom. The breakfast was continental and lovely. Although my daughter is vegan so was limited for her, but she is used to that especially in Portugal. She enjoyed melon & peanut butter on toast. The manager kindly made us a breakfast bag to take for our early flight which was fantastic. The location was 20min walk from the centre but by the beautiful cristal Palace park which was lovely for the children to relax in after a hot day site seeing. The hotel was also spotless and the children loved the cake on offer and I appreciated the coffee and tea making facilities. Definitely recommend

Greeted with a smile at this lovely 10 room family run B&B across from Palacio de Cristal. Great location-15 minute walk to everything. We stayed in the Grand Suite 201 which was very large and had 2 rooms which was perfect for our adult daughter. This room was on the street facing the Gardens. Spotless and cleaned everyday. The staff was so kind and always smiling. Loved the simple but ample breakfast and sitting outside with a glass of wine in the afternoon journaling.|This is well maintained old house with all of the character that comes with it! Yes you can hear other people walking up the stairs occasionally, yes the street rooms can be noisy if your windows are open but you are gone all day and with the AC at night it was not a bother. It is all part of the experience of staying in a small place. The guests were a mix of all countries. It was fabulous! Loved the people, the food and the culture of Porto! Obrigada!

I only have one word for this place: wow! It’s a beautifully renovated house with so much charm and character. The atmosphere is truly special—an old house that’s been thoughtfully updated, preserving its soul while offering all the modern comforts. It’s also very affordable compared to other hotels in the area, which made it an even better find. One of the highlights is the coffee shop next door, which is part of the hotel—it adds a lot to the overall vibe and makes the whole experience feel even more cozy and unique. The breakfast was fresh, complete, and served in a beautiful setting. And above all, the staff were incredibly friendly and kind—always welcoming and happy to help with anything we needed. Overall, such a memorable and warm place to stay. Highly recommended!

Absolute 5* star experience! Couldn’t recommend this hotel more highly. Beautiful rooms, amazing staff, amazing communication, great owner and an overall 5* experience. ||From booking this hotel we had amazing communication from Bruno throughout and nothing was a problem from needing to check in the next morning and also accommodating us to have breakfast early the day of check out. ||We stayed here for three nights last week and it was the perfect location for attending the gig over the road at Super Bock arena and a lovely walk down to the sea front and Gaia too. We felt so welcome upon checking in and Diana looked after us so well at breakfast time and throughout the day. The breakfast choice was amazing and the refreshments throughout the day too. ||Wouldn’t stay anywhere else but here in future at Porto! Will be recommending here to everyone.||Thank you so much for a perfect stay!

Cozy charming hotel. Good breakfast. Good service. Public parking and garden across the street. Quiet location. Highly recommended.

The hotel was small and charming, with exceptionally kind staff. The rooms were clean and the breakfast was quite good. Its location was excellent, providing easy access to Cristal Park. PS. Perhaps a larger coffee machine would be a welcome addition😉

What a great find. Just on the outskirts of the old town but within a 10 minute walk to get there. It was an easy drive to get there. Parking is an issue if you don't have the Telpark app which allows you to park for €8 for 24 hours right around the corner from the hotel. The service was excellent, friendly and helpful. The room was amazing. Cozy, comfortable and quite big but the way they had it decorated with a sitting area with a couch it felt wonderfully cozy and homey. A nice breakfast was served as well. Much better than staying in the heart of the city.
