The Editory Artist Baixa Porto Hotel

The hotel breathed the opulence of a bygone era—its generous proportions, elegant décor, and refined atmosphere all contributed to the feeling. The room was comfortably sized, and the bed felt divine. Two windows offered a pleasant view of Porto, glowing in the day’s final rays of sunlight.|The bathroom was stocked with toiletries one could only wish to enjoy all the time. A retro telephone felt perfectly at home, while a yellow tulip added a charming touch. The coffee machine worked flawlessly; the minibar did not, but this was of no consequence as I didn’t use it.|The complimentary welcome glass of Port wine was delicious, and the free bottle of water proved genuinely useful. Although a few bathroom tiles showed signs of age, they did nothing to detract from the overall experience. Highly recommended.

My best friend and I stayed here for three nights and loved the location, about a 7 - 20 minute walk from most things, with a supermarket right across the street. The beds were very comfortable, and the welcome drink was such a nice touch. The showers were great and got wonderfully hot. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely return!”

The room was nice and spacious. The staff were polite and friendly. We didn't get breakfast in the hotel so no comments about that. I’m not quite sure this hotel meets the standards of a five-star property. I’ve stayed in several five-star hotels in different countries, and this one felt a bit below that level. The main issues were: The room was very dark, and the carpet and overall decor made it feel even darker, even during the day when it was sunny outside. The carpeted floor doesn’t seem to help with cleanliness. The room didn’t feel very clean when we arrived — I asked for it to be cleaned again, but there was still a reddish stain on the desk (like lipstick or wine) and the floor didn’t look freshly cleaned. The bathroom felt quite old. I understand the city itself has a lot of historic buildings, but the tiles were cracked in places and there were signs of rust and moisture damage. On the first night, we found a bug in the bathroom early in the morning, which then disappeared into the tiles. It was honestly quite unpleasant — old building or not, I would expect regular pest control in a five-star hotel. The bathroom layout was not practical. The toilet and bidet were placed far apart, and the space between the shower and toilet area was quite narrow. Overall: Unfortunately, it wasn’t a very satisfying stay for us. The hotel definitely needs renovation, and I wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

The accommodation was amazing, the room looked amazing and the amenities were great; the staff was very polite, helpful and very nice. The location is also good as it is close to metro and city centre. The only downside would be the breakfast, it is a la carte and you need to wait a bit for it and it is quite small, so this could be improved.

We stayed at the excellent sister hotel a few metres away and ate here on our last evening. Five course taster menu and it was amazing! And very good value. The service could not have been better. Wonderful evening

My Effie and I stayed for 3 nights. Great location with the riverfront a block away. Centrally located with many shops and restaurants everywhere. Hotel staff were wonderful with suggestions especially when we needed to travel out of town. Staff at the front desk all provided info. Breakfast was good. Met a lot of other guests. Renata always greeted us with a smile and conversation. Ken and Adele

Visited for our 30th Wedding Anniversary, the staff were caring and friendly. The food was amazing. We enjoyed a spectacular 7 course meal and the wine selection was unbelievable, Curated by the most knowledgeable and kindest man Bruno who made our trip truly an unforgettable experience.

I’ve rated this hotel so highly because although they may not get everything right service wise all the time, the staff all act with genuine heart and any mis steps they do their best to make amends .|The hotels location is great, quiet, short walk to excellent restaurants, shops and sights. We chose to stay in this area of Porto to have quiet, especially at night and yet be close enough to the action and this hotel is a 10/10.|We booked a suite which was fabulous, spacious, comfortable bed and pillows and large bath tub which at the end of a busy day sightseeing was just perfect.|The hotels common areas are stylishly furnished and welcoming.|Some little treats cake and port left in room on arrival and a free welcome drink voucher which we failed to use .|The bar isn’t really a bar in so much as it’s not manned and not even sure it had drinks behind it. We arrived after 9pm after a delayed flight , tired and hungry . We’re told the bar offered snacks and as it was pouring with rain we thought excellent ! The receptionist (who is superb ) did her best to get us some form of service in the bar .. there’s no menu to speak of we gave a few things reeled off to us . My husband is gluten free .. it took until 10:25 to come back with there weren’t any gluten free options and actually appear with a drink , at which point we gave up and went to bed . We did receive an apology next day |Would we stay again ? Absolutely.. and we would recommend to others.
