The hotel features nice views from Douro river mouth and the surrounding beaches. Room was spacious and clean, dependencies were overall in good condition, the age of the hotel building was only perceptible at the pool area. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was good. Hotel garage was available but had to be paid separately. Note: make sure before... More

I went to this hotel on the new years eve of 2008 to 2009. we spend there 3 nights that included the 31st december gala dinner and breakfast was included in the pack. The first thing we noticed when we arrived is that the hotel is actually a 4 star residential hotel... the difference sounds small in the inside you... More

The hotel is on Lavadores beach a 30 minute bus or 15 minute taxi ride from Porto city centre. We bought a 3 day Andante travel card (11 euros) at the airport, caught the metro to Casa de Musica and took the 902 bus which drops you outside the hotel at the end of its journey. Check in was quick... More

Have been to Oporto now 4/5 times and wanted a hotel that was a little bit different . So we Stayed at this hotel June 2007 for 3 nights . I loved it . It was very cheap £42 per room per night bed & breakfast . Our twin room had two single beds that were extremly comfortable with good... More

We found the location to be excellent, right on the Coast a few yards from the beach. The Hotel itself is comfortable and clean although the room we were in is looking quite tired and in need of a new carpet and decoration. The Hotel was just a few yards from a bus stop into Porto. We actually used this... More

I stayed here (as the conference hotel was full) and decided that if I was going to pay 20-30EUR each day for the taxi that I should at least pick a cool location. The location (outside of down, next to the coast) is cool but the view from the rooms isn't that fantastic - but it's a least quiet. I... More

Spectacular find - Made selection of this hotel initially because it was outside the downtown Porto area. Upon arrival we were greeted by the hotel staff who presented us with a glass of Port and warmly welcomed us to Casa Branca. Outside of town about 7km or 4.5miles approximately, the hotel is situated on the oceanfront in a residential neighborhood.... More

Visited Porto to watch a champions league game, staying for 3 nights. Chose this hotel after reading reviews on Tripadvisor. Wasn't disappointed. The view we had from our room was spectacular, a very unspoilt coastline, pedestrianised in front of the hotel, so very quiet. Outside of hotel makes your heart sink a little, because it is a little outdated and... More

So pleased we went to this hotel. We pre-paid a suite but on arrival, found the views not the best and downgraded to a twin room on the other side of the corridor which had absolutely stunning views of the ocean. The hotel is pitched as a 3 or 4 star, and this is appropriate. The rooms were very comfortable... More
