The Editory Artist Baixa Porto Hotel

We stayed here for 4 nights and have no hesitation in recommending the hotel. It's in a quiet location, but not too from the main places of interest, restaurants and shops. The staff are lovely and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Our room was spotlessly clean. We hope to return to Porto one day, and would stay at The Editory Artist!

Hotel is very clean but had a smell in the common hallway. The room got really hot, had to completely turned off the fan unit and opened the windows. Hotel staff was very helpful to where the recommended attractions to go to. What restaurants and what type of local food they had at the different restaurants. Great to have bottle water provided each day.

Beautiful property with lovely artworks everywhere. The rooms are large and well equipped. The restaurant in the adjoining property facing the garden is very nice. Very helpful staff and very friendly. Location is just off the Ekterina street.

We had initially booked to stay at The Editory Garden Hotel next door but were upgraded to a room at the adjoining Editory Artist due to an issue with our room at the first hotel. On check-in we received a glass of port and a pastel de nata each, a lovely treat! All the staff we spoke with were lovely, so welcoming and helpful. We didn't have breakfast or dinner at the hotel but we were pleased to learn that the courtyard advertised at The Editory Gardens was where breakfast was served, a lovely quiet area to hide away from the biz of the city. We enjoyed a complimentary port here on our last evening. The location of the hotel suited us fine. Although on the outskirts of the city centre, you could be on Rue Santa Caterina within around 5-10 minutes where there are lots of shops and cafes. The hotel itself is in a much quieter, local part of the city but it meant there was no street noise and we slept well. We used Uber one evening to return to the hotel after dinner as the hotel is up quite a steep hill and the cobbled streets get slippery if it has rained - take good walking trainers in case of rain! Our room was really spacious and fitted with all the commodities we needed, there were just a few maintenance issues which gave it more of a 4 star feel than 5 star. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Porto, we had a great time and would certainly come back.

This hotel values style over substance. I paid a lot of money for a room with mold in the shower and filthy carpet. I asked staff to address this and instead they entered our room when we were gone and gave us two tiny brownies and made no attempt to clean. Dangerously slippy tiles in bathroom, and when you turn shower on the water blasts onto the floor. no maid service after being gone all day. Trendy cheap hardware on fixtures was difficult to control water pressure and temperature on all faucets. One bar tender covering two active bars in two different buildings. Air freshener in halls and lobby so strong (what are they trying to cover up?) that you get a headache and my clothes still smell like it. Beds uncomfortable and no blankets just layers of sheets. Not sure why on most websites this is classified as 5 star when there aren’t amenities and the service seems to be by free labor from young students. Pros: friendly staff but they don’t listen to requests. Great location. Safe.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room comfortable and a good size, as was the bathroom. Breakfast was plentiful and good quality. Hotel was, for us as reasonably fit 60-somethings, within easy walking distance of shops/restaurants/historic centre.
