The Pestana Porto is a great choice for a couple on holiday. Location is perfect - right in the centre of all the tourist sights, best restaurants, etc and on the opposite bank to all the Port wine companies. Make sure that you get a river view room - fabulous view and plenty of light. Breakfasts are very good although... more

We stayed here for the last 3 nights of our honeymoon. When we pulled up to the hotel, we were immediately thrilled...the hotel is in the best possible location in the entire city if you are a tourist- right on the Duoro in the Ribiera district, a few blocks from the bride to Gaia, where the port lodges are.

Any number of lively waterfront bars and restaurants are just a stone's throw away. The hotel itself is converted from several old townhouses, although the interior itself is surprisingly... more

We had booked a double room with river view, when we got to our room it was a twin (not ideal for a romatic weekend). We were offered a double however while it still had a... more

The room was spacious and very well equipped. The staff professional, charming and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. For a stay in Oporto the location... more

Stayed here for three nights in September 2007. Location can't be beat - right on the Ribeira in a landmark building. Convenient to all the "lower town" attractions and right across the river from the Port wine warehouses. Don't be cheap here; splurge for a room with a full river view! It's magical day and night. The hotel itself is... more

We found out about the Pestana through Trip Advisor and were pleasantly surprised when a local advised us that the Pestana is one of the best hotels in Porto. The decor was lovely, it's very nice, modern, clean and comfortable with excellent taste in colours and furniture. The staff were very nice and helpful, both at reception and in the... more
