Cedofeita Apartments

This Porto hotel has only been open a couple of years. It is a little bit away from the Douro river, about a 15-20 in walk, and the historic area but it is right on the Metro Red Line which is the one that goes to and from the airport. It is also only one stop to the Trindade station which connects to other lines and down to the river. The Lapa station is a short walk to/from the hotel. The hotel is very nice and very accommodating, the rooms are good sized, there is an in-house restaurant and bar, along with an outdoor bar with a limited menu by the pool, which often has music in the evenings. The morning breakfast buffet has many choices and was well presented, thanks to Isabela and Jorbert who took good care of us each morning. There is no Executive lounge or full-time concierge but the front desk and bell staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. Joao was a great bartender for an evening stop at the bar. Views are across the roofs of Porto and the hotel is so new, there is still vacant lot on one side, that is left over from construction and the closest route to the hotel from the Metro is across a trail through a dirt lot (you can take sidewalks that take a little longer). Would return on another trip to Porto.

Hotel location is very good, the room is very new, the area is large, there are parking spaces. Service attitude is very good. Room facilities are very convenient to use It is more convenient to go to the city and can walk.

The room is relatively close to the city center. The room is big, really big, and the sanitation is OK. The whole hotel is full of blue elements. The breakfast is about the same. The corridor is a bit narrow and dark. They have a problem, they can't check in early, it's in the afternoon After 3 o'clock, before leaving the store at 11 o'clock, most hotels can check in at 12 o'clock. I don't quite understand this, and it's impossible to negotiate.

Typical of the Portuguese Hotels we have had on our Bunnik tour on the Portuguese leg. Stairs and no ramp to get suitcases into the hotel and a bit if a shortage of staff to help. No tea and coffee or free water in the room only one free plug on one side of a double bed. Our bathroom toiletries was a shower cap but there were squeeze bottles of shower gel,shampoo and bath gel attached to the shower. Only one glass in the room although we were in a room for couples; there were 2 small ones in the bathroom. The tiny glasses allowed you to have some water to brush your teeth so you don't bang your head on the overhead cupboard mirror which is totally unnecessary since it doesn't hold anything. The basin was so shallow that you dare not leave it running long. There was a bidet if you need one, otherwise it just takes up valuable bathroom realestate. One of the few hotels without a pool and reliable WiFi in our room. No news in English. but old movies overdubbed in Portuguese. I was told that they were working on upgrading their WiFi. On the plus side, the room was clean, breakfast was plentiful with a good range of food. Thr staff as helpful as as was possible. The area is good for access to art galleries and eateries.

We stayed 3 nights and wished it was longer. Based on previous reviews we were expecting a quieter area but the hotel is set off a busy street not that you hear any traffic. The building is absolutely stunning and spotlessly clean. All of the staff are super friendly and can't do enough for you. The hotel is located about 10 minutes from the centre along a pedestrianised area with lots of local shops, cafes and some restaurants. The breakfast was delicious and would rank as one of the best we have had. Lots of choice and regularly topped up to ensure no-one misses out. The service time for breakfast was great too - until 11am everyday! We recommend the cooked to order omelette. We would recommend the hotel and felt that the price we paid was very good value. A hotel of this quality would be double in the UK!

Casa Do Conto If you enjoy the finer things in life, have style and appreciate the best customer service and a personal approach this hotel is for you. The styling of the interior in this hotel is just breathtaking and in my opinion I think it would be difficult for anyone to disagree. The furniture in the breakfast area and the lounge, as well as the bedrooms is worthy of a Centre spread in a home magazine. Sometimes I didn’t want to leave to enjoy the City. Breakfast is amazing at Casa Do Conto. Simple, elegant but plentiful and all presented like it was fit for a King. The staff will happily cook your eggs exactly as you wish to order and mine tasted great everyday. Homemade ‘daily’ changeable items made each breakfast that little bit different and exciting. The staff. Well. They really do bring Casa Do Conto alive. Everyone working here is so lovely and helpful and they really did make us feel special. Super helpful with local knowledge and recommendations and always with a genuine smile. Other reports say a Nespresso machine would be good in the room and I agree but I did notice one in the lounge too and to be honest it made me get down into the beautiful room with the very tasteful music playing at breakfast that little bit earlier. Location we thought was perfect. Out of the hustle and bustle but a short enough walk to the Centre. We tried to mix up the walk to and from the hotel by taking different routes. And finally. The Sister hotel ‘Tipografia Do Conto’ that you have access to is just as wonderful. Bit more hip with a bar but a must see if you stay here. Even to be nosey. We had a few drinks late evening in the garden and was most pleasurable. Staff equally good as Conto. I could live in Casa Do Conto

Location was perfect, far enough away from the busy city centre but still convenient for cool bars, restaurants etc. Our room was perfect, beautiful decor, very comfortable bed and private access to the gorgeous garden. Staff couldn't be more helpful with advice of where to visit in and around Porto. Sara in particular was delightful - so friendly, nothing was too much trouble for her and she made the most delicious omelettes in the morning! The restaurant food was amazing, we ate there twice during our stay for dinner. Will definitely stay here again when we visit Porto.

We are on our last night before heading home from Porto and have truly had the most amazing stay at Maison Cabral. It's a total gem tucked away in what feels like a residential area but not far from local bars, restaurants and the sights of Porto. Alberto, Susana and the team have been absolutely amazing and cannot do enough for you. They gave us some great tips for our stay and greeted us like family each time we saw them. The added bonus of their furry friends Luchino & Vitorio (the cats) made us feel even more at home. Our room was perfect with a modern and classy feel, in keeping with the rest of the hotel and we absolutely loved the garden and pool area. We stayed for a week which was perfect as we were able to explore Porto in the morning and then laze around the stunning pool in the afternoon (with the cats😻). Kurt & Dave
