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.

Prim and proper was a great stay, the rooms are perfect and the staff are friendly. The breakfast was good but don’t expect a big buffet. Good dining options nearby (casa Guedes, get the de casa). Would definitely stay again when in Lisbon.

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.

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!

Spectacular Stay at Prim & Proper
Our stay was so enjoyable and lovely. The staff was welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The rooms were beautiful and the beds were comfortable. Also, we were able to sleep very well thanks to blackout shutters. We had the breakfast every morning and it was delicious and the coffee fueled our Porto exploration. I have already told friends and family to stay here when they visit.

Wonderful hotel. Beautiful interiors and amazing staff. Only thing is, when we booked the room it said there was a king bed in the room. All the rooms said king actually. It was not a king bed - it was a queen sized bed. So just be aware of that when booking. The hotel should probably adjust this on the site.
