We had a wonderful stay at Eurostars Aliados in Porto. While advertised as a 5-star hotel, it feels more like a high-end 4-star, mainly because it lacks some of the extra touches of luxury and service you’d expect from a top-tier 5-star experience. That said, it still offers great value for money and an excellent stay.
One of the hotel’s strongest points is its location—right in the heart of Porto, making it easy to explore the city on foot. Despite being so central, the room was quiet and well-insulated, allowing for a great night’s sleep.
Check-in was smooth and efficient, with friendly and professional staff who made us feel welcome right away. Throughout our stay, the staff remained courteous and helpful, ensuring a pleasant experience.
Our room was spacious, stylish, and very comfortable, featuring a king-sized bed, elegant decor, and a huge shower that added a touch of indulgence. Everything was spotlessly clean, which is always a priority when choosing a hotel.
The hotel has a spa with a gym, sauna, and hammam, free for guests. While we didn’t have time to use them, they looked modern, well-maintained, and inviting, adding to the hotel’s appeal.
Overall, Eurostars Aliados delivers a stylish and comfortable stay at a reasonable price. While it may not quite reach the level of a true 5-star experience, it’s an excellent option for those looking for a high-quality hotel in the center of Porto. We would definitely stay here again!
It was a pleasant stay in Porto Palácio ! Our bed could be more comfortable, otherwise we enjoy the beautiful sunset on the rooftop ! Also there are 2 swimming pools, one free and the other (that you can see on the hotel pictures) isn’t included. The hotel is next to Sixt (car rental).
The staff is always friendly and willing to help, top grades to them! The location has plus and minus. Unless your in one of the cabs that has special permission to enter Flores street, you are going to have to haul bags from a fair distance. Once there, it’s close to many cool things by foot. The rooms are a bit dated, but hey, it’s a 500 year old building! Highly recommend visiting the garden!
The food in the hotel's bar is very good. The room is not very big, but the view and overall facilities are okay. It is between 4 and 5 stars. The only problem was that they forgot to clean our room, even though we didn't go out in the afternoon, they still forgot after reminding the hotel that it could be cleaned. Breakfast is relatively excellent. You cannot hail a taxi at the hotel entrance, but you can walk 2 minutes to the alley entrance to hail a taxi.
Location: Excellent, within walking distance of famous attractions like the Douro River, Livraria Lello, and São Bento Station. The riverbanks are charming, with numerous restaurants and a breathtaking sunset view.
Facilities: Very new, the room was thoughtfully provided with beach slippers and a large towel. The room was comfortable, the bathroom was spacious, and the layout was well-organized. It's a boutique hotel.
Service: The owner is Italian, so many staff members seemed warm and cheerful, with bright smiles.
One thing I was a little disappointed about: I had secretly left a message before arrival, hoping the hotel would give my family a small birthday surprise, even a card. However, from check-in to departure, the hotel didn't respond at all. The front desk manager checked my passport upon check-in and, knowing it was the next day's birthday, didn't respond on the day itself, not even saying happy birthday. It was quite disappointing, but otherwise, it was acceptable.
This hotel was recommended by a friend and I would happily stay again, or in their other locations. The staff were friendly; the hotel was neat and clean. The rooms spacious enough, so you did not feel cramped in any way. The hotel has a pool, outdoor and indoor, and a small room with some gym equipment (but no room to spread of a gym mat out). There was some construction happening on the side street next to the hotel but it didn't bother us; the work stopped in the early evening.
The hotel is well located as well; easy waking distance to the square with lots of places to eat, and a few nice rooftop bars. You are a close walk to the market - which I would recommend eating your way through one afternoon, and close to the subway line if you wish to get further afield.
This was not the first time I've been at this hotel. It's a nice place to spend a few nights. The breakfast food is good in terms of variety and the staff is nice and helpful. The spa is always a pleasant place for you to relax. However, the buttons of the jets don't work properly, specially the ones that are only accessible when you are in the pool, which can be frustrating if you like to use them and won't be able to. This time, the sauna was out of work, as well, but they were fixing it. They didn't really seem worried about fixing the jets' buttons, though... When I was at the hotel last year, they weren't already working properly, but now I couldn't even get them to work. The ones that would work, wouldn't be active for a long time after you pressed on them. In other Spas, they usually work for a few minutes when you turn them on. In this one, they would only be active for about 20/30 seconds at a time. The room I stayed in, had a different display. You would go through a corridor with the bathroom at the front and on the left you had the sleeping area. I liked it because it would conceal the noises coming from the outside a bit better. All rooms have a balcony, but something that feels that is always missing are a couple of chairs and a table. The balcony becomes useless without them! I couldn't open the bathroom door well (not even in 90 degrees in relation to the entrance) because it would bump on the bidet. Also, the shower and glass covering the bathtub seemed to be at the wrong wall because it was inevitable to wet the entire toilet when you showered. The corners were a bit dusty and the bathroom bin hasn't been changed from the previous guest. I think the cleanliness can be improved.

Very Good
We were given a nice, clean room on an upper floor with a pretty view. The bathroom was on the right through a sliding door when you entered the room. It was spacious with a shower and a bathtub. Good breakfast! The roasted tomatoes were superb and it should be a dish available every morning at the buffet.

It was great and amazing choice, the room was so clean, the stuff was so nice and helpful. For sure I will book the hotel again every time I visit Porto.
This place is absolutely amazing. The quality of the service and the facilities. The room was spacious and well equipped. The hotel has a great gym, sauna and steam room. It is clean and modern. The breakfast buffet has a wide variety of options including fruits and vegetables.

The service at the front desk was okay. The bartender before we departed hotel was excellent and food service was above average. The hotel facilities was great specifically the pool, sauna, and gym. The downfall is the hours of operation was only from 7:30pm to 9pm not convenient this includes breakfast buffet.
Room is spacious, Excellent breakfast spread — definitely a must-try if you’re staying here, especially since there aren’t many breakfast options nearby in the morning. Most shops only open after 10am. Step outside and you’ll see beautiful views of the bridge and river, though the hotel isn’t close to the city center. Restaurant and shop choices are limited, but overall the stay is very comfortable.
