Beautifully appointed rooms in a location that is in the center of the action. Stunning views from “river view” rooms. Breakfast was a moment to be treasured with incredible service, views, and food. The staff were delightful, knowledgeable, and engaging. Coffee was superb. Can’t wait to come back and stay here again!

Gorgeous, intimate hotel with beautiful appointments. Location is great but, because its in the heart of the tourist section at the river, expect noise at night. Highly recommend having dinner at the hotel.

From check in to check out, very friendly and helpful staff. Great location and view from both the room and restaurant over the waterfront. The room itself was clean and spacious with a nice powerful shower Would happily stay here again. Great vibe with all the musicians on the waterside

Very quaint boutique hotel in a great location. The room was beautiful, with a wonderful view over the Duoro river and Dom Luís I Bridge. In easy walking distance of everything (although being Porto, there are lots of hills). The included breakfast was absolutely delicious. All cooked fresh to order rather than a typical buffet. All staff were very friendly and helpful and we appreciated the complimentary bottle of Port in the room. We enjoyed listening to the music outside in the evening, but keep this in mind, as this continues late into the night so may not suit everyone. Surrounding bars/restaurants are okay for a drink to take in the atmosphere but are very touristy. However, there are plenty of choices all within walking distance.

Great location on the river, nice and comfortable room, bed and shower. The staff gets 6 stars for their service! Only thing to consider was that the music playing outside below along the river was pretty loud until 10 or 1030 pm, which didn't really bother us, in fact the singer was pretty good, but our friends in another room tried to sleep early that night and said it was hard. We would still come back and stay there again.

Perfectly Charming

The Gran Cruz House went beyond my expectations. The staff was helpful and friendly. The room decor was attractive and authentic, overlooking the river. The breakfast was elegant and delicious. It was a lovely two days in the heart of Porto.

Stay Here!!

We had the most wonderful and magical stay at the Grab Cruz House. The morning attendant, Arthur, was amazing. He took care of us every morning and gave us ideas of places to go and things to do. He also got me a birthday reservation at a wonderful restaurant nearby. This hotel has a lot of style, sits right in the middle of one of the best areas to mill about and has a terrific staff that is very accommodating. We will be back and we will tell our friends all about it! Great value overall for all of the experiences we had!

Beautiful small 8 room hotel on the prime corner overlooking the Porto waterfront- not quiet- but great music playing in the square until about 10 - parking is a few blocks away but worth leaving your big suitcase and carrying in an overnight bag - best restaurant ever!
