We stayed here twice; once in April, once in May. From the beginning to the end the stay, the staff, the room and amnieties were top level. We are very critical travellers and have good comparisons being top tier member at Starwood and Hyatt, but the Intercontinental Porto has been our favorite after a three week tour including the visits...

Extremely well located. We stayed for two noghts and were upgraded to a duplex suite on the top floor. Apart from some overhead noise from pigeons/gulls at dawn, this offered every conceivable comfort: spacious, clean and well appointed. Very helpful staff throughout, and a superb concierge service, with suggestions (and documentation) for trips and restaurants. The hotel restaurant itself is... More

I had a great stay with my partner at this Hotel. It is beautifully decorated, the staff are very attentive and polite, and overall service is excellent. I was in a duplex suite on the 4th floor which was lovely and spacious but there was no view of the main square which was a shame. It may be better to... More

This hotel was very well run and the employees were eager to be helpful. Unlike some hotels, their arranged for airport pick up and car/driver Douro valley day trip was fairly priced. My only complaint was an ordinary dinner in their dinning room.

Rooms are nice. Cleaning service one day done only after 1600hrs. Concierge very attentive. Breakfast nothing to write home about. Location good. Cost/value relationship not too exciting. We had high expectations for a five-star hotel, unfortunately those were not fully met.

The old adage of "location, location, location" certainly applies for the Palacio das Cardosas. Literally around the corner from the central train station in central Porto. Well within walking distance of central city sites. The hotel is beautiful starting from the moment you walk into the lobby. The reception staff is efficient and extremely accommodating. The accommodations are what you... More

We recently stayed in this hotel in Porto and we couldn't have found a better hotel. The stay was unplanned as we had reservations elsewhere that didn't work out. We showed up at the hotel 10:00 pm without a reservation and from that moment on we're treated like extended family. The room was high end and very comfortable with an... More
