10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was on a great location and our room was very nice. Clean and comfortable. I would recommend to anyone visiting Porto."

Porto Palácio Hotel by The Editory

8/10 Good

"This was our first visit to Portugal, and Porto Palácio Hotel gave us a wonderful first impression. The entrance is beautiful and grand, and check-in was quick and seamless. We arrived early, so the hotel stored our luggage and invited us to enjoy a complimentary drink and nuts at the rooftop bar while we waited. The panoramic views over Porto were incredible, especially at sunset. Our room was spacious, comfortable and easy to navigate. The toilet and bath/shower being in separate rooms worked well for us. The minibar was a nice touch, although it left limited space in the fridge for our own drinks. The TV was modern and easy to use, with Chromecast and useful information about the hotel and local area, although connecting to Chromecast was temperamental. The hotel’s WhatsApp service was also really convenient for non-urgent requests, such as booking an airport transfer or asking general questions. Overall, the room was clean, but we did notice some dusty areas on the floor and some wear and staining around the bath. While these were only minor issues, we expected the bathroom to be a little more spotless for a hotel of this standard. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to try the spa, restaurant or gastrobar, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend Porto Palácio Hotel."

Hotels 705 Porto Prime Home

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is very pleasant and helpful! A nice downhill 15-20 min walk will bring you where the action is in old Porto by the river! The property is thoughtfully laid out with an inviting garden and interesting art work in the hallways. The washroom is clean and modern. The kitchenette is cute and functional. Great job team 705!"

YOTEL Porto

8/10 Good

"Overall our stay was a pleasant experience. Hotel location was right near the metro, not 100% central but still within close proximity of the city. It was easy to walk around. Staff was friendly and responsive when needed. Unfortunately we went during a heat wave, the air conditioning wasn't strong enough and very inconsistent."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Gulpilhares?

The best time to visit Gulpilhares is typically during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller.

During these months, you'll find comfortable temperatures, ideal for enjoying the local beaches and outdoor activities without the intense heat or larger crowds of summer. This allows for a more relaxed experience, whether you're exploring the coastline or taking day trips into Porto.

For those primarily looking for beach holidays and sea swimming, the summer months of July and August offer the warmest weather and sea temperatures. However, this is also peak tourist season, so you can expect more people and higher prices for accommodation and flights.

If you're keen on surfing, the waves are generally more consistent and larger during the autumn and winter months, though the water will be cooler.
