Jupiter Porto Hotel - Rooftop & Spa
"Really fantastic brand new hotel with lovely helpful staff and great facilities. Rooftop pool and bar very special. Breakfast was to die for. Nice to be a little away from hectic riverfront but bus and walking means easy access to centre. We would stay again and highly recommend!"

HF Tuela Porto
"Enjoyed the stay! Great hotel, good location. With a toddler though and a stroller, it was hard to go up the steps each time. Other than that, very nice! Close to the metro as well"
