Spectacular Stay at Prim & Proper

Our stay was so enjoyable and lovely. The staff was welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The rooms were beautiful and the beds were comfortable. Also, we were able to sleep very well thanks to blackout shutters. We had the breakfast every morning and it was delicious and the coffee fueled our Porto exploration. I have already told friends and family to stay here when they visit.

Prim and proper was a great stay, the rooms are perfect and the staff are friendly. The breakfast was good but don’t expect a big buffet. Good dining options nearby (casa Guedes, get the de casa). Would definitely stay again when in Lisbon.

Lovely spot in the heart of Porto. Great location, and really clean and comfortable. Rooms are spacious and the bathroom is big enough to enjoy. Overall a great stay.

My wife and I had an amazing experience at this hotel. The front desk staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, and the location was ideal—within easy walking distance to all major sites. We highly recommend this hotel and look forward to returning!

Excellent small hotel

This charming hotel provided us with exceptional service and a truly welcoming experience. Our room was impeccably clean and wonderfully quiet, making for a relaxing stay. I would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Porto—it's the only place to stay.

Utmärkt litet personligt hotel

Litet exklusivt hotel med 9 rum. Gatan utanför är lite ruff men inuti hotellet finns värme och känsla för detaljer. Väldigt prisvärt. Ta till stan och alla attraktioner. Hjälpsam personal och väldigt personligt. God frukost. Stark rekommendation

Amazing property. Excellent location. 10/10.

8/10 Very good

Prachtig hotel, mooie ruime kamers, fijn ontvangst en locatie zeer centraal. Enige nadeel is de gehorigheid van de bovenburen: zij bleven de hele nacht rondlopen in de kamer wat je erg goed kon horen in onze kamer (met oordopjes in). Heb je de bovenste kamer óf normale bovenburen dan is dit hotel de perfecte keuze

Delightful and very helpful staff. In a great area with wide and varied dining options close by with all of the tourists attractions well within walking distance. Would I stay here again? Absolutely!

Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt im Prim&Proper. Unser Zimmer (an sich) war sauber (die Minibar leider nicht - aber das möchte ich keinesfalls als negativen Punkt anbringen!) und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das Personal war freundlich, hilfsbereit und aufmerksam. Das Frühstück (à-la-carte) war sehr lecker - alles wurde frisch zubereitet! Wirklich toll! Verbesserungsvorschlag: besseres Licht beim Spiegel im Bad / Waschbecken.

One of the best private hotel i have been in. V The architecture and design if bluffing. The rooms are very nice, unique and very comfy. Good sound isolation. The bathroom was beautiful. Noble materials. Nice staff and good breakfast. I strongly recommend it.location was good too.

8/10 Very good

We stayed for our honeymoon! The hotel was beautiful - very stylish! The staff were wonderful and made our stay memorable by putting roses on our bed and a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival! Breakfast was ok - basic choices and served a purpose. One thing - the bed - it wasn’t good! This may be personal choice - my husband found it ok- but I woke up so sore every morning, I even used the pillows from the sofa because it was like using balloons otherwise. And we did loose our lights twice - the staff were apologetic and quick to rectify this however. Other than this - our stay was wonderful!

2/10 Poor

I wasn’t going to write a review but the way the customer service was I have no choice. What an awful experience and even worse customer service! It was our honeymoon and we were excited to stay here. The room looked clean and lovely and they even put roses out for us which we greatly appreciated. However, when we returned from dinner the room was so incredibly hot and uncomfortable they didn’t allow ac even though it was in the description and only had heat which was blasting. When we asked for help the front desk never came up to assist only what’s app’s us and basically said there’s nothing to do. When we opened the windows the noise from the local club was insanely loud and unbearable to keep open, which honestly didn’t make a difference. And the beds! I can’t believe they charge for people to stay on those beds. Hard as a rock and cheap sheets and materials, it was so miserable. They tried to offer another room that had the same issues then wouldn’t refund us on a stay we didn’t have. We left in the middle of the night and had a wonderful stay at the Intercontinental Palace who treated us like kings!! I’m all for supporting local businesses and boutiques hotels but prim and proper was the worst part of our trip. Expedia didn’t help the situation either!
