I think quite possibly now on top of my list as my favourite hotel I’ve stayed in. The property was beautiful. The room beautiful. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The breakfast - one of the best I’ve experienced. Cannot recommend this hotel enough. I just hope I get the chance to stay there again. Also a great location.

This is such a lovely property with the kindest most helpful staff. The breakfasts are excellent with plenty of selection. The location is perfect- everything is walkable and there are outstanding restaurants close by. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe, welcomed and well taken care of. My room- 2 garden- was super comfortable and well appointed. The in-house wine tasting experience was a lovely addition to my stay. I had a fantastic visit and would love to return the next time I'm in Porto.

My stay at Canto de Luz was exceptional from start to finish. The property is beautiful, impeccably maintained, and spotlessly clean, creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere throughout our visit. A special thank you to Hannah, who greeted us upon arrival and provided outstanding hospitality during our entire stay. She was incredibly helpful, attentive, and always available to answer questions. Her recommendations for local restaurants, cafés, and bars were excellent and truly enhanced our experience in Porto. The combination of the stunning property, attention to detail, and warm, personalized service made this one of the best stays we’ve had while traveling. I would highly recommend Canto de Luz to anyone visiting Porto and would gladly stay here again.

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 ☺️

Excellent staff especially Ludmila who referred us to Almada 331. We met the owner Fernando who was an Amazing host. We loved everything about the hotel & have referred our friends. Excellent location. Loved the sample pirt. Laundry is nearby and easy to eat while doing laundry. Trindade metro to airport is close so no need to worry abput transport.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

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.

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.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Girls trip.

This hotel is in middle of the city which is great if you want to walk around and eveything was easy to get to. Getting a taxi is easy or bolt like uber is very friendly. The staff is super nice and friendly the breakfast was serviced with so much care. We enjoyed that alot. But the bed is hard mattresses that was very uncomfortable for us. The room we selected was garden facing but no view of the garden that was disappointing. The sofa bed was also not very comfortable.
