We stayed for 2 nights in Mid May. The location is ok, I would’ve preferred to stay near the Duoro River and Luis Bridge instead. The rooms, staff, bf everything is excellent! The location is not bad about 15 mins walk to the river area. We booked a Bolt ride a few times and it was a bit hard for the drivers to identify the location somehow got dropped a little ahead or behind at all times.

Do not let the street or door fool you, this was by far one of our favorites! The rooms are absolutely lovely, well designed, high tech, and larger than normal hotels. Staff were friendly and exceptionally helpful, breakfast was delicious and the back patio was stunning! Parking was tight and around $18.50€, but you do not need a car, everything is within walking distance or you can take an Uber. This is definitely a hidden gem, we look forward to staying here during our next visit to Porto! The only negative was the weather …we were stuck in a torrential downpour when we vacationed in late March.

Nice hotel a little further out but with parking
Very nice hotel a little further from most areas but still walkable (chose it due to available parking). Staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. The room was a little muggy and was too warm to use the heat (AC wasn't an option). The place could really use an ice machine- the only ice is from a refrigerator in the kitchen with minimal available each time we checked.

Two of us stayed in this boutique hotel for 3 nights. Hotel is located in nice neighborhood and it is a walking distance to major sites in the city. Very clean and modern space nice bed clean and fresh scent sheets and extremely pleasant staff, they reserved a nice restaurant nearby for us. Modern bathroom and cleaning service every day. Breakfast was included with option for pastries fruit coffee eggs and orange juice. Make sure you read your email so you can access the building with the code they sent you. There were some construction nearby and it was hard to get a good nap in the afternoon but that’s not the fault of the hotel

Great place near central Porto
Wonderful place to stay, short walk into center of Porto. Rooms were clean and spacious with a fantastic shower! The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. Breakfast each morning was fresh and delicious, served on the covered patio or courtyard. The wine machine is also a big plus. We had a large group of 15 people. Some of the rooms open into suites that are perfect for families, with mini-kitchen and washer/dryer. Highly recommend Canto de Luz for couples, families, or groups in Porto. I would definitely return to this property.

Canto de Luz has been one of my favourite hotel stays in my many years of travelling. From the hotel’s gorgeous interior to the incredibly friendly and helpful staff, I truly can’t fault the hotel. The breakfast each morning is superb, and the hotel is walking distance from so many hot spots. The only suggestion I have would be to add some luggage racks to the bedrooms, but the absence of this by no means ruined our stay ☺️

Modern Oasis Behind a Classic Facade
Totally lovely place to stay. Gorgeous, modern accommodations behind a deceptively unprepossessing facade. Delightfully welcoming staff, helpful and knowledgeable. One of the finest breakfasts one will ever have, with artisanal pastries and made-to order eggs. Would love to go back again!

Hidden gem in Lisbon. From the outside doesn’t look like much but inside fully renovated. Beautiful rooms, common area and breakfast space. Near the airport and sites around the town. Little bit of a walk to the waterfront but not terrible. The area around the hotel is like most areas in Lisbon - older building most under construction being renovated. Breakfast was unbelievable and staff very friendly. Would definitely stay here again.
