We had an incredible waterfront corner room at this hotel and because of this, the Pestana Porto was magical. We were there when they were re-enacting something having to do with France & Portugal & there were cannons outside our windows with people dressed in antique French uniforms. The cannons would boom throughout the evening. However, even with that noise,... more

At Pestana Porto I encountered probably the most helpful reception staff I have ever seen. They helped us return the car rental, arranged transportation at 4am etc etc. Great! The location is a gem: from our suite we had the full river view and although they have rooms without the river view, I think it would be stupid to go... more

After a day and night of flying, we arrived at the Pestana Porto Hotel and were greeted with a glass of Port wine each. We went to our room which had a view of the river and across the river to the Port Caves in Vila Nova de Gaia. It was a large room with tall ceilings and the location... more

This hotel has the perfect location for a trip to Porto. It is located right across the river from all of the wineries and in close proximity to the bus that runs to the caves. We had a river view, which was gorgeous at night. There are also a lot of restaurants and cafes right next door. The only down... more

The location of the hotel is superb, you'll be just in front of the bridge and in the middle of Unesco protected area of Ribeira. The hotel received a lot o f maintenance and everything is ok, but - how to say? - the general feeling is of a dark, old ambience; a place that could be great, but isn't.... more

The hotel is in the best position in Porto - right on the river front by a quiet square. Lots of local restaurants and bars also boat trips from right outside the hotel. We had room with balcony on 4th floor which was quiet and had the most comfortable bed ever!! Looking out across the river at night to the... more

Great location, right by the river, plenty of cafes and restaurants but most of all the views of the river at night with the bridges and the Port houses all illuminated makes for a great place to stay. Of course this was September so the evenings were getting dark, perhaps not so good in June/July when it is still light... more

I have been here for a business conference organized by the company I work for. Hotel location is unbeatable and the room views are breathtaking. Room layout is unusual and very nice. Extremely clean. Buffet Breakfast (very tasty) is included on the price (182 Euros/night - ouch!) and Internet connection is fine. The only remark goes to Main Desk. They... more

The hotel is right on the river in the heart of the historic district. Walking distance to everything. The hotel has spread out across six buildings. Our room was on the fourth floor of the last building and we overlooked the river. We spent each afternoon with our floor to ceiling windows open sipping wine and looking out over the... more
