Members' reviews on GRAN CRUZ HOUSE
Chambre confortable manques juste un peu d'insonorisation.
Pros: sparklingly clean!! Great location on the water, right on Ribeiro Square. Nice view of Douro River and Gaia from Vintage room. Comfortable bed/linens. Nice bathroom with good hot water and water pressure. Very nice breakfast with great view, excellent service, and good vegetarian options. Elevator inside very helpful for luggage. Service overall was friendly and outstanding.
Cons: Can be noisy. Shutters helped, but there was loud voices/laughter, music, and traffic noise until 2am during the Wed and Thurs nights that we stayed. Can’t drive or be dropped off directly in front of hotel; have to carry bags about 100m downhill on cobblestones and walk back up same way.
Bottom line: Highly recommend unless you’re a very light sleeper. There is some walking involved, but all of Porto is hilly so this is not unusual. We would definitely stay here again.
