Casa dos Lóios by Shiadu

We spent two nights at Casa Dos Loios with our 14 year old and would highly, highly recommend it! It's the perfect blend of the quirky charm of a small inn (every floor has interesting decor to check out) with the wraparound amenities of a hotel. Every team member we interacted with was friendly and helpful from our check in to leaving bags after check out. So kind, willing to answer questions or ask about our day. The hotel is central to everything on our must-do list — we kept re-checking our Google map and finding ourselves surprised everything was 5-7 minutes or stretching it to about at 10-15 minute walk. It made it convenient to pop back into the hotel to drop off bags, cool off in the AC or grab a cup of coffee. There are great restaurants right near by (we ate a lot of gelato from Glanni across the street, loved Floresta for brunch and grabbed late night pizza at Slice of Porto) The room was as charming as it was comfortable. Big pillows, even for the sleeper bed!, a lovely mattress and thoughtful touches plus a gorgeous ceiling mural and chic bathroom. We slept brilliantly after long, hot days of walking the city -- and despite being on a popular pedestrian zone it was quiet! Breakfast was full of local favorite and beloved options as well as eggs prepared as you like. Don't miss out on the crepes, the delicious yogurt, the chance to try rabanadas or the lime mousse. Enjoy it indoors or out on the patio!

We loved the location of the property and were surprised and delighted about how quiet it was at night, despite being right in the middle of the historic old town. The room was so unlike the usual chain hotel rooms and had lovely architectural features. Breakfast was very varied and had something for everyone and the fried eggs were the best I have had. Overall, all the staff were really friendly and helpful and made our stay very special. I would have no hesitation recommending this property .

this place was such a gem and so close to the heart of Porto! the staff were very friendly and helpful and graciously spoke to us in English. the rooms are gorgeous with high ceilings, nice light and artistic touches. my favorite breakfast of any hotel we stayed at! so much selection of options with organic items made by them and excellent tea and coffee. the courtyard was a nice place to hang out as well! really can’t say enough about this great little hotel!

This eclectic hotel is located in the centre of the old part of Porto and is within walking distance of most of the tourist sites. There are lots of great restaurants, a laundromat and a supermarket in the street behind the hotel. My single room was tucked away in an adjoining building on the 3rd floor. It required a journey through, around and behind a variety of structures and passages. I didn't mind because the circuitous journey is furnished with some interesting art pieces and collectibles which added interest and charm. My room was narrow with a fridge on the lower level and the bedroom and bathroom up a wooden staircase. It looked over roofs covered with terracotta tiles. The room was narrow but comfortable. I think that most rooms are different, owing to the uniqueness of the property and the way it has been renovated. I peered into the main bedroom of the house and it was impressive (photo). There were lots of pastries on offer for breakfast (a Portuguese staple, it seems) and more conventional European breakfast items. The breakfast was good and the staff were friendly, spoke good English and were extremely helpful

What a lovely stay we had at this gem of a place. The location was ideal for venturing out to walk to all the attractions. There is a public parking garage nearby as well as the train/ metro station. The staff is so friendly and gave us a warm welcome and wonderful recommendations on what to go and see around the hotel. The breakfast spread was delicious! The hotel has so much charm and character. The lay out is not your typical plain hotel and is a beautifully renovated historical building. Will definitely stay when I return in the future for business/ pleasure trip. Thank you so much for the hospitality.
