Our stay at the Gran Cruz was really spectacular. Nestled in the historic river district, the room provided beautiful views of the river below. The room was beautiful and comfortable. Be prepared for music from the street but ended by 10:30 ensuring a good night sleep. Breakfast was delicious and the view just lovely. Highly recommend

The hotel and rooms were lovely and clean. The staff was helpful and gracious. Unfortunately just outside the hotel a series of tone-deaf but heartily-amplified buskers relentlessly butchered “Feelings”, “Wish You Were Here” and “Yesterday.” Made us wish for a downpour of rain.

Just a bit noisy for sleeping. This location is very popular and it does stay busy until 1 am. Make sure you have good ear plugs. The location, staff, accommodations and especially the food is outstanding. Great gin tonic with juniper berries cocktail. I ended up buying the gin at the duty free shop on the way home.

Conveniently located in the heart of everything. The room was clean, updated, and beautiful with a great view. The best part is the staff, by far. The front desk was especially helpful in arranging for an early morning taxi to take us to the airport, in providing extra towels and toiletries, and recommending points of interest. The breakfast was exceptional; not to be missed.

Great Stay in Porto

It was an excellent location for us in terms of seeing and doing what we wished to do. The staff was very accommodating and even provided a boxed breakfast for us on a morning that we joined an early tour group. Breakfast was delicious at the hotel.If you like a small hotel with great views of the river and a welcoming staff then this is the place ! A word of advice...pack lightly unless you accept a transfer because some Ubers and taxi's cannot pull up to the door.
lovely view

The Gran Cruz House is in the perfect location, right by the river and walkable to all local attractions and restaurants. We stayed in the White Room for one night and the Pink Room for four. Both rooms were lovely but we really loved the Pink Room due to its small balcony and beautiful views. The rooms were nice and clean and the shower pressure was great. The area has a lovely vibe with street entertainers and market stalls and the view from the room was amazing. Some reviews mention noise but once we closed the windows and shutters we couldn’t hear anything at night. The breakfast was lovely and a la carte. All staff provided a friendly and professional service especially Bruno. He’s a true ambasssor for your hotel. Very funny and personable. He provided great restaurant and attractions recommendations. I got an Uber to and from the hotel which meets you just at the top of the road (uphill). I would definitely stay there again and recommend it.
