ROSA ET AL

Disclaimer: We did not know that a "townhouse" was actually a guesthouse. We had a somewhat bad start, as the "guesthouse" (vs hotel) did not advise on the parking accommodations we had arranged. We drove around the block several times to find parking and check in, only to be told that this wasn't a hotel and that it was more of an Airbnb. That being said, our room (the garden room) was lovely. There were design issues that required us to rearrange the layout. The safe was unreachable. The outdoor shower was overgrown with plants. But somehow the space was lovely, magical, and a good value. You'll likely enjoy this room if you choose it. Also, the breakfast team did a fantastic job (although you will likely go over your allotted $30/day allowance). We loved their scones, in particular. We also visited Early, their recommended restaurant, which was virtually empty, but nonetheless a great meal.

The location is great for walking around and exploring. Especially for the night life where most of the coolest bars are only a 10 minute walk. The rooms are elegant and simple with a very comfy bed. The hotel staff has been helpful and kind. I recommend this hotel. Be aware of the address listed under Hotels.com, it doesn’t match up when you put it into Bolt. Use the full name of the hotel rather than the physical address when booking for Bolt from either the train station or the airport.

I wasn't staying in hotel as ai live here, I just went for Sunday roast. I've never seen smaller and more expensive roast in my life. 27.5 euros is ridiculously expensive and what we got was one piece of pork, few potatoes, carrot, one Yorkshire pudding and little pot of gravy. We ask for more gravy but they said they don't have any more (we were the only guests at that time, so the Sunday roast just started). The flavor was good, but we all stayed hungry.

Stylish establishment with much attention to detail. Exquisite interior with a nice local feel and great comfort. Loved the space and the amenities. Unlike quite few places in Porto, this was spacious, well maintained and true to what pictures stated! Artsy neighborhood with interesting galleries and original dining options. Had a wonderful stay. Highly recommend!

We have just stayed 5 nights in this hotel. Firstly we must say it is NOT a 5 star hotel as listed. There is no lift so you may have to haul your luggage up 3 levels. Good points: Rooms are spacious with ours having a small balcony overlooking the garden. Bed was comfortable. Staff tried to attend to our needs and assist in general hospitality matters. Bad points: For all of our 5 nights the breakfast area was not open apart from coffee and fruit juice. None of the extensive foods advertised. Each day we were given a different excuse. They suggested we get breakfast at an associated cafe about 10 mins walk away. The refrigerator in the room did not work, in spite of 3 requests and assurances that it would be. The floor in the room is incredibly creaky. You cannot go to the bathroom at night without waking your partner as it is so loud. The strange combination key system to the rooms does not seem to work consistently. We were woken by guests arriving in an adjacent room at midnight and not being able to open their door. They spent 20 minutes trying combinations and getting more and more irate. The shower is over the bath behind a glass screen. Risky access for any infirm guests. The acoustics are poor between rooms. There is no TV. I am suspicious of so many ‘rave’ reviews for this establishment. In my view it is a €100 per night 2 ½ star facility.

My husband and I stayed at Rose Et Al for 4 nights and absolutely loved the experience. The staff were kind and helpful, the space was beautiful—just like the photos—and incredibly comfortable (the clawfoot tub was such a treat after a long day of exploring the city!). The food, drinks, and coffee in the café were all delicious. We were thrilled to call this place home for a few days.

Stayed here for a weekend trip to Porto- our first. The amazing staff and the beautiful townhouse as well as the great walkable neighborhood made us fall in love and we planned another night there right away. I cannot say enough about how comfortable the townhouse is. Details are well attended to and the staff is outstanding. We will be back!

We loved this Hotel. It's quirky & creaky & leaves us with fabulous memories. Our room was a great size with a balcony looking out over the garden of the hotel and the back gardens of the neighbourhood properties. The staff were brilliant and so friendly. We were given great Restaurant Recommendations by P at the Hotel and all within reasonable walking distance of the Hotel. We even witnessed one of the boys helping a fellow Guest track down his lost luggage. He was so helpful. Thank-you all at Rosa et Al, sometimes it's not easy but you made our stay a lovely, happy memory.
