José was the gentleman who we dealt with mostly during our 3 nights there over a week. He was polite and efficient and very friendly! He kindly gave us chocolates upon our departure. The breakfast was beautiful. We very highly recommend Descobertas Hotel. The location was top notch too!

Centrally located boutique hotel in downtown Porto. Just a few meters from the Douro River and tourist restaurants. Only downside is it is quite noisy in the evenings. Clean & modern. Highly recommended.

Property had an industrial boutique feel. Staff were lovely, room was very clean and comfortable. Beds were great! Quirky decor and excellent bathroom. Had a very early checkout so got a shock with cold shower. Rang reception and they switched on the hot water. Would have been good to have known to request this in advance. Breakfast was fresh & plentiful.

Unique entrance at area taxis cannot enter (but they can drop you at the top of the hill very near by). Breakfast was exceptional with all the choices. Room was quiet and clean. Beautiful tapestries and old shoes as decorations in our room. Nice corner cushioned nook to rest on. Two twin beds. Excellent place. Would return.

Room was fine; safety bars in the shower would be a nice addition. Location was excellent especially for Ribeira and Gaia. Breakfast was good. All the staff were very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. They loved their city and really wanted us to enjoy it. Restaurant recommendations were excellent. The receptionist who greeted us on arrival was particularly helpful and made us feel so welcome.
