We really enjoyed our stay at the Rex. The hotel is in a beautiful heritage building, but the facilities are modern and comfortable. The staff was helpful and welcoming. It's located in a quieter area, but a very short walk to all the action. We will stay here again.

Quiet, modernized rooms in traditional building. Limited secure car parking under the building. About 10 minutes walk to the restaurant/business district, a bit farther to the historic district. Overlooks a nice park, which unfortunately was under renovation when we visited, but should be great when it reopens. Friendly helpful staff.

Nice, clean and comfortable hotel

A nice, clean and comfortable no-frills hotel. A bit of a walk from the centre so be prepared to do some walking (including a few hills), however staff were friendly and the hotel was very clean. A short walk from Lapa station which goes to the airport. Breakfast was ok, fresh bread, cheeses, meats, fruit, yogurt, cereal and pastries. There are nearby cafés if you don't want the hotel breakfast. There is a trick to getting the room door to lock from the inside, we thought it was broken but a friendly member of staff helped us with this. 24 hour reception meant they were able to cater for our late check in.

Judith

Our room was very spacious and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was large, modern and everything worked. As other reviewers have commented, the carpet is old, stained and dirty-looking though, judging from the rest of the hotel, I'm sure they vacuum and clean it. Breakfast was good, coffee so-so. The main drawback for us was that the free hotel WiFi didn't reach our room, though it was good in the "lobby"/dining area. The property is a good walk to tourist attractions, but close to a Metro station. We like to walk, so that's what we did. We saw parts of the city that we would probably have missed if we had stayed in the heart of the old city.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was really nice and clean and vary spacious. Really feels like a boutique hotel. For the people that have limited mobility, it's important to know that there are sets of stairs ( 8-10) to get to the lobby. Since our room was the first room up the stairs, we could hear the noise from people talking outside. It didn't bug me however, if you're a light sleeper it's something to be aware of. The hotel was in a more "quiet" area being roughly 25 min walking distance from downtown. We only stayed one night, and left really early so we didn't have breakfast. It did look nice enough. The typical spanish/Portuguese continental breakfast with ham & cheese. I felt like I was annoying the person check-in us in but apart from that I would definitely stay there again. 8.5/10

Beautiful little hotel right in front of Porto's Plaza Republica, far from the heavy touristic river area, but near the Cedofeita shopping and dining area, metro stations, and the Bolhão market. Personnel at the front desk were very helpful and accommodated all of our needs. Breakfast was pretty good. Overall, a great place to stay in Porto.
