My Mom and I stayed at the Rex Hotel in 2017. It is a beautiful hotel with a lot of history and character. The service was wonderful and the room was splendid; exactly what we needed after a full day of exploring the stunning city of Porto. We arrived at the hotel early for check-in, and the staff kindly let us leave our heavy bags at Reception with them while we discovered Porto until such time that our room was ready. In the evenings, we had tea bags with us which we needed hot water to make. The kind staff provided us with a teapot of hot water every night on request. The hotel itself is so quaint and an attraction in itself! The room we were in was upstairs with a fantastic view of Porto and the park outside, and there was a characteristic elevator or stairs to get to it. The room was huge with a big bathroom and bath tub allowing us to truly just relax and enjoy the town of Porto. The staff were friendly and engaging, also suggesting areas to visit and activities we could do during our stay when we asked. We would go back there in a heartbeat and we definitely recommend this wonderful hotel to anyone; Porto has a very special place in our hearts, a truly beautiful place. Thank you to the delightful staff!

Clean and comfortable hotel. Fullfills your basic needs for a good night's sleep. People are friendly and helpful and the breakfast was okay. Now, for the downside...stayed there 4 nights. 1..Key for room never locked. Had to get someone to lock my room each time I left. 2..Hard to navigate the shower without flooding the bathroom. 3..Breakfast filled you up but not worth 7 EU. 4..Very expensive for a 2 star hotel. By the time I paid for everything, it came to $140 a night. I stayed in Lisbon and the Algarve with swimming pool & breakfast at 4 star hotels for under $100. 5..They should list on their website that it is 1/2 mile walk down steep hills for restaurants and sightseeing buses. Not a good location for older people or people with health problems. Will not recommend or stay here again.

I walked into this hotel because my phone died and I was lost, so I asked their staff if I could use a charger to get a little battery. Once I told them my situation, they told me that they couldn’t give it to someone who wasn’t staying there and then proceeded to turn away as if I was not there. If the staff was nice and helpful, then I would have been inclined to stay here in future trips and recommend it to my friends. Unfortunately, this hotel apparently lacks all courtesy.

Lovely hotel! Convenient location to shopping, dining, train, sightseeing.
Excellent staff, that speak English. Great breakfast. Beautiful, comfortable rooms with polished white marble bathrooms. Very clean. Beautiful historic features. Nice view of a pretty park. I have stayed here twice. Both times were an excellent experience.
