Grande Hotel Do Porto stands out with its location on Porto's main shopping street, close to attractions like the Majestic Cafe.

small room paid water
The hotel was fine overall, but a couple of things bothered me. The room was quite small, and opening my suitcase was a struggle. the water on the shelf was not complimentary.. I found that quite surprising.
