Perfectly Charming
The Gran Cruz House went beyond my expectations. The staff was helpful and friendly. The room decor was attractive and authentic, overlooking the river. The breakfast was elegant and delicious. It was a lovely two days in the heart of Porto.

Stay Here!!
We had the most wonderful and magical stay at the Grab Cruz House. The morning attendant, Arthur, was amazing. He took care of us every morning and gave us ideas of places to go and things to do. He also got me a birthday reservation at a wonderful restaurant nearby. This hotel has a lot of style, sits right in the middle of one of the best areas to mill about and has a terrific staff that is very accommodating. We will be back and we will tell our friends all about it! Great value overall for all of the experiences we had!

Beautiful small 8 room hotel on the prime corner overlooking the Porto waterfront- not quiet- but great music playing in the square until about 10 - parking is a few blocks away but worth leaving your big suitcase and carrying in an overnight bag - best restaurant ever!

I absolutely loved this property. We stayed in the pink room overlooking the river, and entertainment square. The welcome reception port sample was lovely welcome, and then the bottle that they supply in your room was superb. The view is outstanding, but I will say that if you are sensitive to night noise, it is in a very busy area that parties late into the night. We didn't mind this - we simply shut the doors and put on white noise. The complimentary breakfast was fantastic, and our server remembered our likes (coffee, juices, pastries), after the first day. This really is a gem of a hotel!

Stayed 3nights. Very comfortable and clean, air conditioning worked well/ quiet. The noise from the street was audible through the vintage/ old single pane the glass but it died down enough by11pm or so... didn't have to use ear plugs though it was nice that they're provided. Antonio at the front desk was very pleasant and helpful to many questions and provided a recommendation (and got us reservations) to a fantastic restaurant for dinner ( Adega Dona Antonia ). Breakfast/ items was also very good including the coffee and very attentive/ friendly service from both waiters on both mornings. The third morning they packed us a breakfast to go since we had to leave early. Small/ inconspicuous entry to hotel Might be hard to find if you don't have a guide. We would recommend to stay here. We were on the 5th floor ( Vintage room)

Stunning
Fantastically helpful staff, cute hidden lobby, and GLORIOUS rooms! I cannot believe this wasn't triple the price. I will be recommending it and staying again, on a longer trip.
Bedroom is large, with great materials and windows that open easily.
Bathroom is bigger than mine at home! The towels are INSANE. I own Abyss towels, and these are seriously close, something I've NEVER experienced in a hotel.
