Crowne Plaza Porto by IHG

8/10 Good
"I ended up staying here only one night out of my three nights booked. I will start with the positives: the hotel is generously sized and absolutely in keeping with what North Americans would expect of a hotel: large lobby, large reception area/desk, extremely generously sized bedrooms. I think this hotel is a wonderful idea for families who would like to share the generously sized bedrooms. Breakfast was absolutely phenomenal. The buffet was plentiful and varied. Probably the best I've had in Porto. The downside for me was how far it is from the central tourist part of Porto. My understanding when I had booked was that the hotel was 2 to 3 km outside of the city center. And I thought to myself that it would be possible to cover that distance either by walking or with an Uber ride. However, the hotel is incredibly far from Porto Central. Ubers are hard to come by and you wait at least 15 minutes for them to pick you up, on top of the 10 minutes the app spends trying to find a driver. Depending on the time (ie day time), it may also take half an hour of sitting in traffic to get to Porto. Based on that, I opted to check out and go to downtown Porto. So if your priority is to have quick access to the sites and sounds as a tourist, this hotel would not be a suitable option. If that is not your priority, this hotel is a fantastic option. I also found the staff to be very helpful and accommodating."

Everything was very clean and well maintained, and the location was excellent, close to Bolhão and within easy walking distance of many places in Porto. The hotel also has a nice bar and restaurant, which makes it very convenient if you want to relax without going out. The breakfast was really good, and the welcome beer or drink was such a nice touch. Overall, a fun and different place to stay with a great atmosphere."
