Didn't love it, Probably wouldn't stay there again. Hotel is nice but there was a ton of construction and you could hear it from the room pretty clearly. We had a junior suite, room was large but pretty dated. Room AC was not good at all, I called to complain and they delivered a fan. We were there two nights and didn't have a good night of sleep. Room was too hot and couldn't open the balcony door because of too much street noise.

Our room faced the Prada De Liberdade and at times we could hear the cars, buses and even people speaking, all windows were closed. They need to address this when you’re paying a high price for a nights sleep.

Simply lovely
The Intercontinental Porto is an exceptional hotel that truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment my kids and I arrived, we were captivated by its beauty—the photos simply don't do it justice! What's more, the service is impeccable, with every staff member, from the front desk to the concierge and restaurant team, being incredibly polite and friendly. Our stay has been nothing short of delightful, and the hotel's location in Porto is perfect for exploring the surrounding area. I wholeheartedly recommend the Intercontinental Porto to anyone looking for a family-friendly, luxurious experience.
