The Grand Hotel de Paris is situated in an excellent location - about a 5 minute walk from the Sao Bento train station. Everything that we could have possible wanted to see was within walking distance and there are numerous cafes, restaurants, etc just outside the door. The hotel has been wonderfully cared for and has a delightful faded elegance.... more

I love this place. This was the second time I've stayed here (first time in 2004) and it's still great. The hotel is a Victorian era building in central Porto, right off the main square and is located about 5 minutes from the Termine metro and about 10 min walk to the river. Be under no illusions - this is... more

Booked the Grande Hotel de Paris following both TripAdvisor and Rough Guide recommendations. Booked over the internet - was easy and straightforward. Showed up at the hotel only to find that the hotel was actually closed (although - fortunately, attended) and that they had booked a room at the Best Western down the street. I am incensed that they didn't... more

This hotel is centrally located and easy to find if you take the tube from the airport to Bolhao station. The receptionist was very helpful and efficient upon checking in. The restaurants and bars that she recommended were superb. The rooms are slightly on the small side, but if you only want a place to sleep, then it is ideal.... more

I rated the hotel as "Above average" but I believe that if I had stayed there during the Summer months, It would have given it only "Okay, but some problems". I decided to write about them anyway. The interior of the hotel is very beautiful – the furniture and all the items. The room was very spacious and the location... more

Grande Hotel de Paris in Oporto offers great value vs. money. The furnitures has not been updated for ages, but the hotel is spotless, comfortable and very charming. The location is fairly good, given that Oporto is not the largest city, everywhere of importance are richable by foot. The best feature of this hotel is the breakfast. It is a... more

This is a quaint little hotel - you can imagine what it would have been like in it's heyday. It is a little 'worn' and rough around the edges now - but it is good value for money and a charming place to stay. On our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the guy at the front desk, who was... more

"The hotel was really interesting with lots of olde worlde charm. Bedrooms were comfortable and location for the old city was excellent. It was ideally located for the train from the airport at Euro 1.90 each way and just 200 yards from Alliados and San Bento train station. Whilst the hotel was very acceptable and the breakfast particularly good (get... more

My friend and I stayed here in June 2008 and we were put in Room 01 which was at the front of the hotel and was next to the reception so we heard all noise - traffic from the nearby centre and people coming and leaving at all hours. The room itself really needed some serious restoration doing to it,... more
