The hotel in União de Freguesias do Centro, which is a great choice for travellers interested in architecture, wine and city walks is a mere 1.3 km from Sandeman Cellars Winery and a short way from such shopping venues as the lavishly designed historic Livraria Lello Book Store. The Decanting Porto is 10 minutes by car from the landscaped gardens "Jardins do Palacio de Cristal" and merely 650 metres from Rua Santa Catarina. For sport lovers this Porto hotel offers proximity to the all-seater Estadio do Dragao Football Stadium, which is 2.2 km away. The accommodation is also within reach of the São Bento train station.

Review by hotel critic
During my recent stay at the House in Porto, I found a commendable balance between luxury and value. Upon check-in, the staff's personable nature was a welcome surprise, enhanced by a complimentary Porto wine tasting. The air-conditioning in our room provided a refreshing escape from the heat after a day of exploring. The location is strategic, just a few minutes from Bolhão subway station, which made navigating the city seamless. A caveat for those with heavy luggage: the absence of an elevator might require some effort. Though we didn't indulge in the breakfast option, the terrace overlooking the garden seemed inviting. The House offers well-maintained rooms, diligent housekeeping, and a helpful staff, making it an attractive option for travelers seeking quality and convenience without the extravagant price tag.
