Oporto Loft

Wonderful little hotel with many 5** attributes. Fabulous bed, linens, bathroom and curtains in an old home remodeled into a B&B. The breakfast features a nice selection of Portuguese pastries, fruits and cheeses. It is located a bit away from the main tourist attractions, without a lot of restaurants close by, but on a Main Street that is on the Hop on/ Hop off bus route. It’s proximity to the Palacio de Cristal is a huge plus!

Located away from the main tourist area but east to walk to anywhere in Porto or even Gaia if you are a walker. Room was comfortable and located at the back of house overlooking a lovely garden. Had to rearrange the items on the dresser to have a place to put suitcase. Room to hang some clothing and a small safe. The restaurant that shares the garden is quiet so doesn’t disturb the bedrooms. An amazing breakfast is included in price. Staff very attentive

Centrally located with walking access to most sites. Building is old, but very well kept. The beds were comfortable and the linen clean. The on-site restaurant is excellent. There is parking nearby, but on a busy Saturday night it might be a problem finding a space.

Lovely refurbished building. Our room was unique; a door off the entry that took you to a small sitting room and stairs up to the bed and bath. Very nice; comfortable bed, good ventilation, great shower and a sitting area balcony overlooking the garden and restaurant. They offer a lovely buffet breakfast and Annabella and staff were very accommodating. And we discovered how incredible the restaurant, Jangal, is. Incredible menu, newly opened. Truly a great experience not to be missed.

My wife and I stayed for two nights at the Oporto Loft Art Hotel in Late August. This boutique B&B is in a quite old refurbished home in the heart of Porto’s historic center. As I recall, it has five rooms / suites and each is quite different. We stayed in #3 which is on two floors. The living room is on the first floor and you climb a fairly steep “L" shaped staircase to get to the bedroom / bathroom suite. All of the rooms are somewhat odd shaped with angled walls and tall ceilings. Due to the irregular shape of the rooms, they are somewhat cramped in places, but still comfortable. Our room had a window/door onto the balcony which overlooks the back yard / garden which is very nice. The bed was very comfortable. Across from the bed is a standing mirror that incorporates a built in TV. A good space saver and pretty nifty, however, there is very little in the way of English programming to choose from. I should note that the bathroom is small and the floor is higher than the bedroom floor. The entrance presents a trip hazard. My wife did trip on it and slightly injured her arm as she fell against the sink. In lower level there is a mini-fridge that is stocked as well as coffee, wine and other items. There is also a price list and it appears that if you want any of these items (even coffee) they will be added to your bill. On the first floor is the breakfast room and breakfasts consist of an attractive array of fresh fruits, breads and pastries, meat and cheese as well as a full complement of beverages. The adjacent kitchen also is the kitchen for the restaurant called Jangal which is a fine dining place with very nice seating in the back yard gardens. Overall, Oporto Loft is a very pleasant and convenient place to stay with very friendly and helpful staff. If we make it to Porto again, I think I would stay there again.
