The Editory Artist Baixa Hotel

All the staff at the hotel were absolutely amazing! Especially the members of the front desk—thank you for giving me such a wonderful experience. I chose to stay there to celebrate my birthday, and they even prepared a brownie for me to celebrate! That was really thoughtful. I feel so grateful 💕 I’ll definitely visit Porto again next time. Btw, the mattress was so comfortable! I had a nice sleep.

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.

The Editory Artist Baixa Porto is a boutique hotel, with a luxury feel and an interesting past. It's located in a quiet area, just 5 mins walk from the pedestrianised main street, Rua de Santa Catarina. We must mention Manuel on reception who, without realising it, organised and mapped out our entire stay, with helpful tips and ideas. Visiting McDonald's was one of them (yes, check it out). All the staff were welcoming and pleasant. Recommended.

I appreciate our staff prepare special decoration for our birthday trip. But the hotel is still a bit disappointing in terms of service and facility. No swimming pool or gym, the shower doesn't work well so water is splashed everywhere. And it's obviously understaffed even though it's not peak season anymore. We called the reception for service and only got responded in one hour. I'm quite disappointed considering it's a 5-star hotel

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.

This hotel is centrally located to shopping and dining. The rooms are spacious and the beds comfortable. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We had an issue with the AC and they were able to change our room. It is a small hotel. The restaurant is amazing, with a tasting menu that is extraordinary.
