It was a great stay for us but know you are far from the waterfront- probably a pleasant 20 min walk. Still close to things to see and places to eat. The hotel rooms would benefit of having at least a mini fridge.

We arrived in OPO Airport around 7am, took the Metro directly to Trindade Station and walked 10 minutes to the hotel.
After checked-in, we stored our carry-ons and went out to walk around the city.
We returned around 12 noon, our room was ready, the room was clean and roomy with 2 windows, 2 twin beds, a small table and chair. The bathroom also room with a big shower, the water pressure was really good but it can use a much bigger shower head.
A big screen TV and lots of charging outlets...
Kettle/coffee/tea/sugar supplied BUT NO milk powder...we wanted to buy some milk but NO mini fridge to store.
Breakfast was really good with different items offered, not the same thing everyday.
All staffs were friendly and the breakfast staffs were really fast and efficient.
Lots of shops and food places nearby also a good size shopping mall.
Walkable to lots of tourist hot spots.

Will stay again...

We didn’t use housekeeping at all but the reception staff were very helpful with our questions.
The breakfast buffet was not as good as our other hotel but still nice. We missed the bacon every day and the cut up fruit which included strawberries for my hubby’s cereal.
But all in all a very nice stay.

After staying at the Holliday Inn Express in Lisbon, the Holliday Inn Express in Porto was a bit of a let down. It does not have a safe. It does not have a refrigerator. Lisbon did. The carpeting needs replacing soon. It's location is ok if you are a good walker and we liked the location. And we had a wonderfully quiet room. Breakfast was fine. We will continue to stay at Holliday Inns.

The rooms and the hotel was very clean and the breakfast was better than I expected it to be. There was a good selection of traditional pastries, breads, cold cereals, hard boiled and scrambled eggs, great juice selections, and an automatic coffee machine that brewed all of your favorite coffees from espresso to lattes. There was also a good selection of teas and milks. The wifi was fast and seamless and the staff very courteous and very helpful.

This hotel was fabulous! The staff was very friendly and didn’t hesitate to assist with special requests (ie. more towels, ice etc.). The location is walkable to all the sights. We stayed here for 6 days and ate breakfast here every day. Good variety of items at breakfast. My only suggestion would be that staff have all breakfast items out by the start of their breakfast time as guests have trains and planes to catch. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Porto.

The hotel is in a great location of the city center, within 2 minutes walk to Sta. Caterina Chapel, another minute to Mercado do Bolhao. Just keep walking down and you'll end up on the riverfront. Plenty of food places to choose from, from affordable to classy. Breakfast is very good, sausage, eggs, bread, croissants, pastel de nata, ham, cheese, cereals , fruits, freshly squeezed fruit juice, and very good coffee machine.
We liked the location so much that we returned to it again from the airport when our flight was canceled

Fantastic Stay at Holiday Inn Express Porto City C

I had an amazing stay at the Holiday Inn Express Porto City Centre. The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Porto, making it easy to explore the city's top attractions, restaurants, and shops on foot.

The room was modern, spotless, and very comfortable, with a cozy bed and a well-designed bathroom. Despite being in a central location, it was quiet, allowing for a great night's sleep. The complimentary breakfast was excellent, offering a variety of fresh options to start the day.

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with recommendations and any requests. Their warm hospitality made the stay even more enjoyable.

Overall, this hotel is a fantastic choice for anyone visiting Porto. Great value, excellent service, and a prime location—I would definitely stay here again!

Wybraliśmy ten hotel ze względu na położenie oraz atrakcyjną cenę. Do najbliższych atrakcji dojdziesz spacerkiem w 10-15min. Przy hotelu znajduje się dużo kawiarenek, restauracji i sklepików z pamiątkami.
Hotel zadbany, pokoje czyste oraz dobrze wyposażone ( suszarka, żelazko, kosmetyki, ręczniki). Śniadania smaczne i jak dla mnie wystarczające ( jajecznica, sery, wędliny, pieczywo, jogurty, soki, woda, kawa, ciasteczka w tym Pastéis de nata). Recepcjoniści bardzo przyjaźni. Duży plus za możliwość zostawienia bagażu po wymeldowaniu. Zdecydowanie polecam!

Okay place to spend the night

We stayed at this hotel last week for a few nights and had a wonderful experience - a super-quiet room with a balcony view, super clean, very friendly and accommodating front desk staff and food services staff, etc. We came back last night for one night and our experience was not the same as last week. Our room was noisy and we really missed last week's staff. It is going to be a long evening of overnight travel home on very little sleep. Breakfast was good throughout both stays, although we were bummed that the croissants and wheat rolls were not offered this morning.

What really makes this Holiday Inn stand out is what great staff it has. I arrived on an early morning flight and arrived three hours before check in. I was just about to ask to leave my suitcase at reception when the guy at reception said there was a room available which was really helpful as it meant I didn't need to go back to check into my room later. The following day, the staff also served me a drink from the bar even though they were in the process of closing.

The room was also really good and an excellent shower. Breakfast also had a lot of choice including fresh items regularly being brought out. Good location as well with shops, bars and public transport options nearby.
