Almadina Smart Luxury

Great boutique hotel located on the Northern side of the river Douro on Rua da Almada. A casual 20min downhill stroll will see you on the riverside and its various, touristic bars. Some great restaurants, bars, shops, museums and other sightseeing musts are within easy walking distance to this hotel. The Trinidade Metro station is a 5 minute walk with links to the whole of Porto. Ubers are inexpensive as are the local taxis. Only 8 rooms and a small amount of very attentive staff who just want to please. More than adequate continental breakfast and freshly prepared eggs are available and worth the money. Very comfortable rooms, some with balconies, all with the usual amenities. We had an excellent stay in room H at a very affordable price of €350 for 4 nights including breakfast. Would definitely recommend.

Boutique hotel with very attentive staff. Bruno in particular was excellent and showed us various local sites and recommendations. Accommodation is a 5 minute walk from Trinidade station which is served by the metro from the airport at just over €2 per person. Breakfast is good and very relaxed feel at the property. Would highly recommend.

We love the place all around, the staff was incredible, Martin and Bruno were so efficient and always trying to help us, and make it easier on us.

The room was spacious and beautiful. The breakfast was a nice start to the day. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Beautiful boutique hotel close to everything in Porto. Vey nice staff.

Great hotel in a great location, friendly and helpful staff, stayed in room "H" on top floor, lovely balcony but not much of a veiw. Bars, resturants and shops in easy reach, also train station 5mins (Trindade) from hotel door, approx 25mins time and €2:75 per journey.

My wife and I stayed at Almadina Smart Luxury in late October and I'd strongly recommend the small boutique-ish property to anyone else visiting Porto. While the reception area is not manned 24/7, access to the property is easy with the provided key card and passcode. The "front desk" staff included Bruno and Joao and they could not have been more kind, helpful and professional. We paid for the hotel breakfast and found the spread to be sufficient and tasty. Cooked to order eggs were always offered, as well. The hotel doesn't really have a common area in which to hang out but the rooms are large, spotless and comfortable. We stayed in two different rooms at the front and back ends of our Portugal vacation and both rooms had comfortable couches + chairs on which to chill after a day of sightseeing and before heading out to any of the many restaurants that are located nearby. I found the hotel to be quiet and it was located in an area that I'd describe as more hipster than beautiful...which was fine by me. It was within "fairly" easy walking of attractions and rail stations. I say fairly because Porto is hilly so no matter where you go, there will be some uphill walking involved. I'd gladly return to the Almadina Smart Luxury hotel.

We stayed here for a weekend city break, having never been to Porto before. The hotel is well located, less than 5 minutes from Trindade metro station, which has a direct line from the airport. The property is more of a boutique B&B than a hotel, so the main door is access controlled, meaning you have to ring the bell to get in. We arrived early and dropped our bags and explored Porto, and when we returned to check in, they had already brought our bags to our room, which was a nice touch (and the first of many). The room itself was stunning. A grand old parlour converted into a modern and stylish bedroom, with a very nice bed, two arm chairs, a coffee table and a sideboard. The free standing marble sink was lovely and the bathroom has separate walk in shower and toilet with all new fittings. The designer clearly has a good eye, and the room managed to feel modern, while still paying respect to the history of the building, which I suppose could be said of Porto as a whole. The breakfast was nice, with fresh bread, cheese and cakes, and cooked to order eggs. The dining area is lovely, again putting modern design seamlessly into an older settings. The location is good. It's about a ten minute walk from the historic centre and river (be warned, Porto is not an easy city to walk around), and the area itself is well serviced with restaurants and cafes. The staff and owner were very helpful and friendly. This place seems very well loved and we took pleasure in sincerely thanking them for their stay. The price we paid was extremely reasonable too. Would certainly stay there again next time we are in beautiful Porto.

Great boutique hotel. Convenient. Excellent service!
