Beautiful castle and property. The staff was always making sure we were being taking care of even if we were leaving somewhere they would ask if it was a good experience or if we need any recommendations.

Have in mind, if you are staying in the main building and you have lots of luggage, there’s no elevator to bring them up, so get ready to have a last minute stairmaster workout.

Spacious, beautifully furnished rooms (garden view) and a buffet breakfast with plenty of choices made our stay very enjoyable. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, and the property itself is well maintained and very inviting. The location is excellent, adding even more convenience to the experience. This was our second stay and we would gladly return again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The on-site restaurant was wonderful! All staff members we met provided excellent quality service! Our room was spacious and modern and it was very quiet for a good night's sleep. Only negative point was that our (king-sized) mattress seemed to be due for replacing as some springs were \"poking\" us. But thankfully, after walking 14km that day, I had no trouble sleeping, lol. Loved the historic character/charm. We would definitely recommend this hotel!

I've never stayed in anything quite like this. It's truly a castle! Beautiful rooms with high ceilings, gilded moldings, tile murals, lovely linens, art. Gated entry and parking on site. Shout out to Joanna and Pedro, receptionists who lugged bags and passed along birthday notification to the breakfast staff, who serenaded my daughter on her birthday that morning.

The staff was helpful, and the location just a few blocks from the Marques station was ideal. The room I was in had an expansive view of Porto, and I hope to return for a visit, as I had booked too few nights to really see and enjoy the city.

Room was beautiful! Staff was lovely! Breakfast was very nice, lots of option and an amazing room. The onsite restaurant seemed good and they accommodated us inspite of having an event but the next day they couldn’t serve us due to staff shortage. Unfortunate. The only downside is there is no elevator and no bellman so dragging bags up several flights of stairs was not fun. On the way out one of the staff helped out which was appreciated! We would come back and ask for a ground floor or lower room.

Best hotel experience in a long time. A unique property that includes a beautiful home inside. You have to see it to believe it! Staff were incredible! Extremely helpful and knowledgeable! Rooms were large and clean. Morning breakfast and evening bar were perfect. Great location within walking distance to everything. Don’t give out 5 stars very often but this one deserves it! Highly recommended!

Wonderful stay! The historical atmosphere at this hotel is amazing. They have embraced the history while keeping up to date with accommodations visitors enjoy. The gardens create a welcoming first impressions and the staff were extremely helpful with questions, places to visit and arranging restaurant times.
Our room was spacious, clean and had the best shower from my two week stay in Portugal.
All staff worked together to make the visitors experience top notch. The breakfast in the morning had many options Ms everything was delicious.
I would love to return someday.

Lovely place disastrous booking.

Lovely site and building and furnishings. But given a room about 6.5 sq m in size which was tiny, claustrophobics and we had to leave as quickly as possible. The hotel were charming and refunded our down payment after the one night we had to stay as we could find nowhere else at such short notice. No small hotel accessories such as water, tissues.

Lovely quaint hotel

We got Grande suite which we did not think we had booked. Huge terrace but unfortunately was very windy so unable to sit on it. Breakfast was perfectly adequate with quite a good selection. It was quite cramped near food area so should extend this area. No lift so it was quite a hike to 3rd floor and as we were going on a cruise we had 2 big suitcases. Not great area but not too far to get into busy area.

Its a unique stay to be in an old castle and the decor is nice. To be able to park in the middle of Porto for 12eu is great. The breakfast is good.
The staff during the day was very helpful.
The night staff was a bit condescending (I suspect it is a language barrier). Somewhere very close by played really loud music until around 11pm.
That said, I would still go back for the price I paid.

Lovely castle hotel

Lovely hotel! The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was a nice way to start the day. It's about a 20 minute walk downhill into the centre of town (and uphill going back), but that wasn't too far. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel!

The hotel’s architecture is beautiful and brings you back to the past. However, the hotel’s location and services lack in proficiency. It is far from the touristic areas – you need to walk over 30 minutes or get a taxi. It’s Wi-Fi is very weak and unreliable and the room’s décor is of poor quality.

We stayed for 4 nights at Castelo Santa Catarina.
The hotel has an unusual, quirky, look to it that attracted our attention when we booked it.
From the check-in to check-out, all staff were polite, friendly and obliging. My wife celebrated her birthday during our stay and at breakfast that day, the catering team brought out a birthday cake and sang Happy Birthday, which was very nice.
Our accommodation was clean, spacious and very comfortable.
The buffet style breakfast, included in the price, was plentiful with lots of choice.
The hotel is situated centrally and it's easy to walk 10 to 15 minutes and be outside Sao Bento station and the centre of the city. The subway station Marques, which we didn't use, is a 5 minute walk away.
The only issues that detracted from our stay were the dirty, smelly bins located directly outside the hotel entrance and the night we came back and found a stain on the bed sheets that has just been changed by the house keeping staff. While clean linen was readily provided, my wife and I ended up having to re-make the bed ourselves, which is not what we expected.
However, overall, we enjoyed our stay and will return the next time we're in Porto.

The staff was great - always ready to provide advice on things to see and do in Porto. The provided breakfast service was also great. I liked the location, close to the historic area of town, but just far enough that if driving a car you could in and out of the hotel area easily to visit sites outside the city. My room was new, large, and comfortable. Great place to stay for leisure or work.

This hotel is a stunning oasis in a fairly gritty section of Porto. We came up the street looking for the hotel and could not believe that it could possibly be on that street after the pictures we had seen online, but it is as beautiful in person as it is shown. Our room was big and bright with a beautiful bathroom. The breakfast room is absolutely gorgeous and the breakfast was substantial. The staff was terrific and very helpful. While we did not care for the neighborhood much and they were very limited restaurants, but it was only a five minute walk to a metro. Even though the neighborhood was not desirable would still highly recommend this hotel due to its beauty and excellent breakfast.

My partner and I stayed in one of the newer garden front rooms for 5 nights and enjoyed every minute. The hospitality was wonderful, the rooms were quiet and quite spacious. It rained most days so an umbrella was put outside our door for our walk to breakfast. The bathroom was clean with beautiful shower pressure. We enjoyed a good breakfast every morning with nice variety of hot and cold. I didn’t really like the coffee machine but was able to pick a coffee to suit my taste. The accommodation was not too far from the city centre and we walked it each day. Turn left for 2 minute walk fruit and veges and laundromat(7€ for wash and dry). Turn right for city centre and all sites. We loved our stay here and very happy for our stay.

Delightful Place to Stay in Porto

A charming and interesting hotel in a quiet part of Porto. The main center is a quick walk and the hotel is really beautiful. You should stay there just for the architecture alone. Our room was very large and the staff were super helpful with suggestion of places to go to and pointed out everything on a map. Definitely would stay here again should I be lucky enough to return to Porto.

Never have I ever stayed in a castle before. Very unique room in the castle tower. Period details galore but also with modern finishes. Hosts were very nice and any communication with them was fast and courteous. Would have loved to have a small fridge in room but...I will say the bed was a bit too hard for my liking and pillows not firm enough. Clean, clean and clean. Just a short walk to the main part of city

My stay there was good and comfortable overall. However, there are some weak points. They charged us for the bottled water last night we got at the front. They should have told us it's going to be charged later first. And there were no vegetables except tomato in the European buffet. Very disappointed. Room is very small but toilet is big enough. Anyway nice stay!

We had one of the modern rooms so didn’t feel the “castle” feeling in our room. The grounds and breakfast room were very beautiful though. Ours was a plain room, but overall comfortable, with heating, and pretty spacious for 3 of us. we had a few ants in the bathroom and on the beds though since our arrival. Also please be advised the parking lot is so narrow, it’s a one way entrance but somehow they want you to make a u-turn and park facing downhill . The first night we arrived I was more than 15 minutes trying to do this maneuver in the tiny space. Thank Gd the owner of the vehicle I was narrowly avoiding hitting with my car came just at the right moment to move his car forward a few inches so I could finally finish the turn and park - he was sooo helpful. The hotel staff was not helpful in this difficult situation even though they could see on camera how tough of a time I was having.
Also please be advised that even though we paid some taxes upon check in, the last day we paid even more taxes. That was confusing. Breakfast is fine but not amazing like other reviews state - the croissants in particular are inedible , and pancakes and waffles were hard. You also had to tell them ahead of time in which 30 minute time slot you would eat, between 8am-10am. It’s hard to predict at the time of checkin when you’ll eat every day you are there. We had a much more delicious and varied breakfast (and more easily available from 4am onwards!) at the Melia airport hotel in Lisbon.
