the vera cruz is a lovely building in a great location and we thought that a room on the top floor would be quiet and away from it all we had room 704 which was great huge bed, seperate sitting room and reasonable bathroom even a small balcony although no views .However the noise from room next door sounded as... more

We stayed 3 nights at the hotel. It was in a good area for sightseeing, with good access to the metro. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but very small. Our room had a balcony but unfortunately the heavy curtains over the window were hung in such a way that they couldn't be opened and therefore the room was very... more

We stayed only 2 nights,but we were happy to be settled at that hotel! Early morning we reached the hotel and reception explained us that check in starts after 1.00p.m. nevertheless we left our suitcases downfloor(kindly) and spent out free time outside. Location - really best ever.2 min from hotel to metro station,15 min to the famous Douro river. Breakfast... more

Great location for anybody thinking about staying in the centre of Port. The hotel could do with a makeover, however, we only slept in the room - the rest of the time we spent in and around Porto. To be honest it is classed as a 3 *, but could not be more than 2*. The room was a little... more

I tried to book this Pension for a weekend trip while entertaining my parents via Earthbooker, but was unsuccessful. A call to the hotel and I was able to get the same rate as quoted on Earthbooker and secure a crib for our daughter. We stayed in one of the family suites, basically two adjoining rooms sharing a bathroom. Besides... more

This hotel has a great location near the city hall and you can get there easily from the airport (metro station Trindade 200m away!). The hotel is good value for your money! The rooms in Vera Cruz are quite small, but all the basics are ok. Our double room itself was quite old, but we saw them renovating some rooms.... more

I would recommend this hotel if you are not looking for any "extras". It is perfectly located in the centre, the breakfast was good and the room was correct (simple) but unfortunately not clean enough to my standards (the wardrobe had a lot of dust on top of each shelf but the essential was clean!). So if you will be... more

The staffs in this hotel are the best I have ever met and we travel approx. every twelfth weeks in Europe. Breakfast great and location brilliant but the problem is the hotel is being done up and there is painting which means fumes and loud laughing and joking work men early in the morning followed by windows and patio doors... more

we were out the front of the building looking out to the main avenue. lots of honking of horns but it was bearable. close to everything really. metro about 2 mins walk and able to walk to villa de nova gaia in about 20 mins. very nice girl on reception during the day and nice lady in the breakfast room.... more
