Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Peninsular-Porto enjoys a highly valued location, steps away from the Sao Bento Train Station, placing guests in the heart of Porto and within easy reach of key attractions. Many have found the rooms to be surprisingly spacious, some including bathtubs, which added to the overall comfort. Guests often appreciate the included breakfast with its good selection, although some street noise can be noticeable in rooms facing the street due to single-glazed windows.

sloping floor key control

The lack of proper maintenance was hard to ignore. my room had a sloping floor which was quite odd my suitcase kept rolling away. also, i found the need to hand over my key every time i left the building somewhat irritating. It reminded me of i was being monitored somehow.
