Prim and proper was a great stay, the rooms are perfect and the staff are friendly. The breakfast was good but don’t expect a big buffet. Good dining options nearby (casa Guedes, get the de casa). Would definitely stay again when in Lisbon.

The room was wonderful, the staff were super friendly and attentive. The breakfast was sometimes slower than others, but always good, you can also request if you wanted something a little different which is always great. We always got fresh towels when needed and fresh sheets too. There are some minor repairs needed in the rooms, due to water damage and it can get a little loud to the back from Thursday to Saturday (not all days it changes) but nothing crazy. A bigger fridge would also be better. The locations is great, restaurants everywhere, also right next to the hotel, personal recommendations are: Kintsugi for a amazing crafted experience and Antú for Lunch.

We stayed for our honeymoon! The hotel was beautiful - very stylish! The staff were wonderful and made our stay memorable by putting roses on our bed and a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival! Breakfast was ok - basic choices and served a purpose. One thing - the bed - it wasn’t good! This may be personal choice - my husband found it ok- but I woke up so sore every morning, I even used the pillows from the sofa because it was like using balloons otherwise. And we did loose our lights twice - the staff were apologetic and quick to rectify this however. Other than this - our stay was wonderful!

Spectacular Stay at Prim & Proper

Our stay was so enjoyable and lovely. The staff was welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The rooms were beautiful and the beds were comfortable. Also, we were able to sleep very well thanks to blackout shutters. We had the breakfast every morning and it was delicious and the coffee fueled our Porto exploration. I have already told friends and family to stay here when they visit.

Wonderful hotel. Beautiful interiors and amazing staff. Only thing is, when we booked the room it said there was a king bed in the room. All the rooms said king actually. It was not a king bed - it was a queen sized bed. So just be aware of that when booking. The hotel should probably adjust this on the site.

Perfect place in Porto.

Fantastic hotel. We had an amazing experience and would love to stay again. Had no idea how special the location was going to be. The incredible breakfast and amaaaaaaaazing coffee / cappuccino was included unexpectedly making it also a wonderful value. Top notch all-round. Location was perfect. So close to train and bus and there are a ton of spectacular restaurants right on the same block and all around. Staff were also so friendly and helpful!

Lots of fresh breakfast options (Take your pick and choose your breakfast) Room excellent size and very clean. Only minor ' could haves' ; a few more shelves for clothes in the storage cupboard and a coat stand or hooks for the wet coats? Would definitely stay again without hesitation.

Nuce quiet hotel

The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. They have transport service for a fee which was convenient. The kitchenette was a nice bonus on a multi day stay. Nespresso in room ( go to the Pingo around the corner and buy extra pods) was great because cafe’s don’t open as early as I wake up. The neighborhood is quiet in the morning, but gets livelier throughout the day. We didn’t eat on site, so I can’t comment on the complimentary breakfast

The property doesn't have kerb appeal,but come inside and it's fabulous. The rooms are spacious and very clean, the location is fantastic right in the heart of the city.we only have one grumble and that is the breakfast as there is not enough staff and the two girls that were there was run off their feet, also not only the long wait but breakfast was cold. We do recommend this hotel but breakfast needs more staff.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was beautiful, very spacious and comfortable. Loved the lighting and décor. There was no terrace or balcony as advertised but this didn't really matter as there was plenty of space and we visited at a cooler time of year. Breakfast was nice and everything prepared upon request, although it wasn't totally clear what was available to have so we just had to go off the suggestions of staff, this felt a little odd. The location is on the edge of the city centre but it's easy to walk anywhere really, it is at the top of a hill so be prepared for that (Porto is a very hilly city). On the whole I'd definitely recommend the hotel, particularly on account of the beautiful, comfortable, clean room - possibly one of the nicest i've ever stayed in.
