A*** hotel
Amazing hotel, fantastic location, superb staff. Even though the square in front was having work done getting anywhere was an easy walk. Highly recommend

8/10 Very good

Disappointed
The hotel is beautiful and in a great location. Unfortunately, a huge city construction project is right outside the front door, and work continues into the night and early mornings. The restaurant is nice and the food is well prepared but is under staffed. Our check-in was smooth but the reception staff is cold and unhelpful. They make you feel like you are bothering them if you ask a question, and never say hello to you when you walk by ... our room was at the top of the stair so we walked by them every time we left or returned to the hotel. We would not choose this hotel again.

Ok - but not sure I could recommend
Ok hotel but management needs to tighten its grip. A few minor irritations which could easily have been fixed, which was a shame for a 1 night stay

Simply lovely
The Intercontinental Porto is an exceptional hotel that truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment my kids and I arrived, we were captivated by its beauty—the photos simply don't do it justice! What's more, the service is impeccable, with every staff member, from the front desk to the concierge and restaurant team, being incredibly polite and friendly. Our stay has been nothing short of delightful, and the hotel's location in Porto is perfect for exploring the surrounding area. I wholeheartedly recommend the Intercontinental Porto to anyone looking for a family-friendly, luxurious experience.
