    rooftop bar views
    fresh pastries
    friendly service
    slow food replenishment

    We had a wonderful family stay in Porto and explored the city on foot. The rooftop bar offered beautiful views, and the kids loved the mini bar with free water. Breakfast was fantastic, especially the fresh pastries and variety of options.

    My wife says that the breakfast could be improved with faster replenishment of items. It took a while to restock the food when it ran out.

    fabulous breakfast
    fun pool
    nonworking bathroom lights

    We had a lovely time in the family suite. the breakfast was fabulous and our kids enjoyed the pool and game room during our stay. We did notice some bathroom lights didn’t work, but it didn’t impact our overall experience at all. Definitely recommend getting a room on a higher floor for great views! 😊

    Would recommend for strolling

    Modern hotel, elegant dining, with a fantastic breakfast that offered a wide variety of delicious dishes, including fresh options that were frequently replenished, and situated just a short walk from the nearest metro for easy airport access.

    Everything was spot-on.

    modern decor
    clean bathroom
    helpful staff
    housekeeping issues
    overpriced drinks
    firm mattress

    The location of the Mercure in Porto caught my eye right away. Everything is within walking distance, making it super convenient. The room was modern and clean, and I particularly enjoyed the spacious bathroom with a great shower. Breakfast exceeded my expectations. The mini pastel de nata was a delightful treat! Unfortunately, I found the bed to be quite firm, which left me with some back discomfort after a few nights. Housekeeping could use improvement. I noticed some inconsistencies with the cleaning standards during my stay. I expected the room to be a little larger for a hotel of this caliber. Overall, the staff were friendly and helpful, but the rooftop terrace was closed during my visit, which was a disappointment since it’s advertised. The bar drinks were pricey and not always well-made either. All in all, really enjoyed the location and breakfast, but some other issues need addressing for a better stay.

    spacious room
    huge bed
    free minibar drinks
    quirky decor
    slippery shower

    The room was pretty spacious with a huge bed, which was super comfy. Loved the free minibar with water and soda. It was nice and quiet since mine was facing the inner courtyard. It felt fresh and modern overall, though the decor was a bit quirky. Just wished the shower over the bath was a bit safer, but other than that, it was enjoyable to relax after a long day of sightseeing.

    central location
    breakfast view
    small room

    A solid location for exploring, with the hop-on/hop-off bus and old tram right outside. The breakfast dining area offers a fantastic view of the city, making each morning more enjoyable.

    The room size left a lot to be desired—tight and lacking storage for anything beyond a quick stay. I ran into issues with the air conditioning. it barely cooled the room even after it was fixed. The mattress felt hard as a board, resulting in some backaches. The limited menu at the restaurant doesn't offer much variety, though there's plenty of nearby dining to explore. The advertised rooftop terrace was closed, which was a bit underwhelming. Plus, while the bar drinks were on the pricier side, the quality didn’t match the price tag. my Irish Coffee was surprisingly made with lemon-flavored cream, a combo I’d skip next time.

    Just a reliable pick for a weekend excursion in Porto, great for the money. The breakfast had a wonderful selection of fresh products. Try to book early for the best rates.
