We had an amazing stay at Maison Cabral, a lot thanks to Susana & Alberto who were super helpful and service minded. The room and pool area was a nice quiet haven to return to after/in between the city walks.

This is one of my all time favorites. The staff was very, very helpful, sending me restaurant suggestions and things to do, coming in early to help with my luggage and being kind and friendly overall. The spacious well decorated room overlooked a beautiful pool that I did not have time to use (next time). The building itself was a tiled 3 story building on a street of iconic tiled buildings. It was also near a street of restaurants and stores and easily accessible to other sites in Porto. I used Uber but public transportation was nearby as well. Porto itself is worthy of another visit and I would definitely stay here.

What a lovely place to stay in Porto. This small hotel was on a quiet street close to everything. The room was exceptional and the small pool area was welcome retreat. The staff was super helpful in suggesting ways to enjoy the Porto Area. It couldn’t have been nicer.

Beautiful property! We were only here for a short visit but the staff were truly amazing! Lucas gave us a great dinner recommendation and it was probably the best food we’ve ever had. Everyone was so welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely recommend, we will be back for sure!

Hostel was very pretty and super clean, the scent of the room was also good.
And the owner, Susana was super nice and gave us warm welcoming and explained about Porto.
Location was good as well to walk around the city. Only 10-15 mints by walk to the old town busy street.

Whimsical boutique hotel with owners/operators on property; extremely friendly and accommodating; felt like family. My only suggestion for travellers would be to avoid Titi attic room; it is simply too small; other rooms were much larger with nice big windows; would absolutely stay there again

This is alittle gem boutique hotel in Porto.
Susana and Alberto are amazing hosts who go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, comfortable and informed.
The hotel is nicely renovated and decorated and Our room was comfortable and kept clean throughout.
Maison cabral is a 5-10 min walk into a lively area for restaurants and cafes and perhaps another 10 minute walk into the heart of the old town and river.
We loved our stay here and would highly recommend and hooe to return ourselves one day.

Beautiful boutique hotel. Everything was wonderful, starting with the superb customer service by Susana. Beautiful room, nice outdoor area to sit or swim in the pool, great restaurants nearby. The hotel does not offer breakfast, but we had a complete kitchenette and a well-stocked supermarket around the corner.

Our stay at Maison Cabral was perfect. We loved every minute. Susana, Alberto and Ines were so welcoming and helpful. The apartment (Monica) was stunning and the pool area was fabulous. We would highly recommend this property to anyone staying in Porto. It was walkable to many sights and a peaceful space to retreat to after a busy day. The hotel cats were an added bonus 🐱🐱

Incredible stay at Maison Cabral. I cannot praise the property manager Susanna enough for her amazing hospitality. My flight to Porto was canceled so we had to drive from Madrid and Susanna checked on our bags (which had flown without us) and arranged for a late check/in. She gave us the best local restaurant recommendations - go to BB Gourmet and Nicolau- and even couriered over a bracelet that I left behind to my next hotel. The hotel itself is spotless, comfy, and charming in the best way. A perfect base for exploring Porto! Obrigada!

A wonderful stay in a beautiful hotel
Can’t say enough good things about the Maison Cabral. Alberto is a kind and wonderful host and the house has been lovingly restored and is spectacular. Our room had ample space and was very charming, with a very spacious and nice bathroom. We would come back to this hotel any time in Porto, and would HIGHLY recommend! Unfortunately the weather was not in our favor but the pool area is lovely as well. 10/10!!

A real Gem amid a beautiful City.
I can’t say enough good things about Maison Cabral…Susanna and Alberto were extremely helpful and delightful and very proud of their hotel. They instantly make you feel very welcomed.
You can tell a lot of pride goes into the running of the Maison Cabral. It is one of the best maintained hotels where I have stayed. It was very clean and in excellent shape and you could tell lot of thought went into the decorating of the rooms.
Lastly, it was very convenient to the main attractions in Porto.

A gem in Porto!
A boutique hotel renovated from an old mansion. It's small (with only 8 rooms each with different style of deco) but if you like your hotel to be quaint and elegant, this is the place for you. Only a short walk from the Metro Line E (Lapa station). What sets Maison Cabral apart from other hotels in Porto is its staff. I couldn't say enough about how friendly, willing and help Susana and Roberto were during our visit. They really made us feel like home.

Susana is brilliant
Great place with good facilities. Lovely little pool we didn’t get to use because of poor weather. But undoubtedly the highlight was Susana who went well beyond what she needed to do. She was cheerful, friendly, amazingly helpful and bombarded me with restaurant suggestions not just for Porto but also our next destinations. She is obviously proud of Portugal and her city Porto and her enthusiasm is amazing and commendable. He was the highlight of Porto. What a star!
