Porto Royal Bridges Hotel

Great location and very nice breakfast. Loved the size and layout of the bathroom, but could use better lighting in the bathroom.

The property has a great location. The rooms are small, but clean. The staff are mostly helpful. This would have been a great experience had it not been for the rigid check in rules. We arrived at 8am in the morning due to a red eye flight. We wanted to get our room as soon as possible to get some sleep. Unfortunately the hotel has such a rigid check in time of 2 PM. We offered to pay for a room just to sleep for few hours. The staff refused and said they don’t do any check ins between midnight and 2 PM. Needless to say we sat in the lobby until 2PM. The next day we tried to get breakfast, but the tiny area was full and we had to wait 25 minutes for a table. The breakfast was average.

Hotel is in a very good location, in Porto’s central district. Near to plenty of restaurants, square where the “Porto” sign is. And 10 mins walking distance to the Ribeira ( riverside), and Porto’s main attractions. You walk 5-7 mins to the Pont de Luis bridge and can walk across the Douro river. Approx 20 mins by car from the airport. And approx 15 mins by car from the Campanhã train station. The decor is very in theme with the bridges. The shower is so good - very forceful! Breakfast is available, we did not use the breakfast service. Elevator is available - two of them. Staff is very helpful.

Very central location, right in the heart of the city. Lots of bars and restaurants within walking distance and all the major sights are close by too. It’s a stylish, modern hotel with stylish rooms. I was denied a late check-out but you might have better luck :)
