10/10 Exceptional

The hotel and staff were first class. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Gave us some nice tips for where to eat locally. The hotel is spotlessly clean and has modern and spacious rooms. Lively area around the locality with plenty of bars and restaurants but was quiet when inside the hotel. Good area to base yourself in Porto with a metro station close by and nice walks into the centre. Fantastic breakfast served at the hotels cafe too. Would highly recommend this hotel and would use again in future.

Location was great, rooms were very clean and staff there were excellent and attentive. However, the pillows were quite thick and not the most comfortable....although the overall bed was very comfortable

Customer service at Prim and Proper is truly excellent and the hotel itself is fabulous, well maintained and beautiful with a real eye to detail. We enjoyed being located just outside of the historic area and the alternative options this offered for eating etc which we found to be excellent - including the hotels recommendation of O Freitas - just a few doors away and easily our best meal of the stay. We would definitely recommend and revisit Prim & Proper Porto.

The room was wonderful, the staff were super friendly and attentive. The breakfast was sometimes slower than others, but always good, you can also request if you wanted something a little different which is always great. We always got fresh towels when needed and fresh sheets too. There are some minor repairs needed in the rooms, due to water damage and it can get a little loud to the back from Thursday to Saturday (not all days it changes) but nothing crazy. A bigger fridge would also be better. The locations is great, restaurants everywhere, also right next to the hotel, personal recommendations are: Kintsugi for a amazing crafted experience and Antú for Lunch.

8/10 Very good

We stayed for our honeymoon! The hotel was beautiful - very stylish! The staff were wonderful and made our stay memorable by putting roses on our bed and a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival! Breakfast was ok - basic choices and served a purpose. One thing - the bed - it wasn’t good! This may be personal choice - my husband found it ok- but I woke up so sore every morning, I even used the pillows from the sofa because it was like using balloons otherwise. And we did loose our lights twice - the staff were apologetic and quick to rectify this however. Other than this - our stay was wonderful!
