Se Catedral Hotel Porto, Tapestry Collection By Hilton

1) Location: vibrant and central but quiet in the hotel rooms; Porto is a really clean city, but shabby in places (part of its charm!); great sunset from the balcony rooms (although even better to walk 5mins down to the bridge and watch over the river); easy 10min walk to traditional food market (great for chilled vibes, walk round with a glass of delicious but cheap wine and eat the freshest seafood or local cheese from cones!) ; the new Time Out market for a variety of superb hot food stalls- Portuguese restaurant classics as well as incredible sushi, Brusco Burgers and Okra for traditional and Portuguese-style pizza toppings), served quickly, good for different tastebuds and no need to reserve, loads of tables for relaxed eating and no rush to leave; train station for selection of great restaurants (book Tapabento in advance is a must- it’s worth it!) 2) Tourist sights- the tower worth every euro for spectacular views and the riverside stroll by night is stunning; cable car is great fun to get up high/low easily; No1 tram (or taxi for saving time as long queue) down to the beach. Praia de Luz is an amazing spot to sit and watch the crashing waves. The gardens at the art gallery is very green, shady and a lovely treetop walk. Uber needed but worth it as a contrast to the city. Base cafe rooftop garden next to the tower is great for cool vibes and a glass of Porto Tonica or cold Superbock. 3) Immaculate hotel is small but charming, cool, fun decor; staff have a wealth of knowledge and very proud of Porto. Don’t hesitate to ask for advice on attractions and restaurants. Very talented bar staff, with an extensive, exceptional cocktails and mocktails. The comfortable bar kept drawing us back! Breakfast also well worth it, a very relaxing start to the day, great hot and cold continental options, restocked frequently and very grateful to see allergens (including nuts and peanuts) listed on all buffet items.

Breakfast was very good, great selection of food.location was excellent from a tourist perspective. I had a room with a view which was great, there was a slight amount of street noise, but that wasn’t a problem at all. The room and bathroom were very nice.

Great location - just across the street from the cathedral and around the corner of the Ponte Luis bridge. The staff is nice and friendly, breakfast is very good, with hot options and tiny pasteis de nata (super delicious). The room was cozy, very comfy beds, good sleep.

For anyone who likes a variety of choice at breakfast that is fresh, abundant and interesting, it is highly recommended. The setup is great and innovative, modern, warm and Staff are also quick at replenishing whilst being attentive too, to any questions clients may have given the very attractive layout and display of food. The room was very spacious, really well lit with lots of light options, a great view and extremely central to Porto. Close to all major vantage views, the Cathedral, the Louis bridge and everywhere else is within walking distance...whilst also being away from the superbusiness of the crowds and yet so close to all the hot spots. Also use of the Metro...a few metres away (Sao Bento), whilst the transportation systems in Porto are very efficient and easy to use.

This was a great place. Very, very hip “vibe” and really reminded me that my work was over and it was time to enjoy Porto! The staff was outstanding - kind, remembered us every time we came in and very accommodating to us. The cafe had good food and a nice staff as well. We really enjoyed everything about the hotel.
