Gran Cruz House

Gran Cruz House is an exceptional place to stay, perfectly situated right on the Douro River. The location is unbeatable, with everything you could want or need just a short walk away. Breakfast was superb, and I highly recommend having dinner at the restaurant as well—the food was delicious. Be sure to sample their outstanding port wine too! The staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive, making our stay truly memorable. I highly recommend Gran Cruz House to anyone visiting Porto!

This hotel is located on the river at the bottom of this historic district. You literally cannot ask for a better location! There are plenty of restaurants and tours just outside the door. The room was a decent size, and well maintained, with the exception of the A/C. To be fair the temps were 37 Celsius / 98 Fahrenheit. But the a/c did not work at all. At night it was cooler to just open the windows. If you travel in late June/July just plan for no a/c. The staff is friendly and very accommodating, helping organize transfers that are needed since taxis and Ubers can’t go all the way to the river. The breakfast is a sit down service and very good. Eggs, fruit, bread, yogurt. I would return here in cooler months.

Bruno was very helpful! He arranged for a shuttle to pick us up at the Douro Marina, and he also made reservations for us at your restaurant, Casario. (Bruno was very quick to respond to any communications with us.) The Casario restaurant was absolutely amazing! Very good! Would definitely recommend! And the next morning, Bruno was there to serve us a most wonderful complimentary breakfast! I just wish we had decided to stay a few more days in Porto. We had a wonderful, but too brief, visit there! I will definitely recommend the Gran Cruz House to friends who plan to visit Porto!

Great boutique hotel, well located in the heart of Ribeira. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We had a great stay at Gran Cruz Hotel!

In the heart of the river area! Lovely rooms with comfy beds/linens and good view of the river. Good breakfast and friendly staff. Recommend!!

The property was very central. It was an ideal location to use as a base to explore Porto. The staff were very friendly & helpful. I'd recommend staying here.

Room was charming and had a fabulous view. Windows weren’t clean though. The room was supposed to be air conditioned but I had to ask for a fan because it didn’t work that well. They charge a $40 fee for a second person in the room. That is crazy. How many people, not on business, travel alone. Ubers and most cabs can not drive right to the hotel so you have to drag your bags down a steep street and then back up the street when you leave. Worst of all, you have very loud music playing right below your room every night!!! On the positive side, the staff were all lovely and the breakfast was excellent.

This property was really clean and well maintained. The staff were helpful. They book both a transfer from the train to the hotel and a wine tour for us. Both went smooth and were good. Had water in the room and complimentary wine. The AC was a little weak but could still feel it.
