We forgot to book a night of our stay & The Rex was kind enough to let us stay in the room. Great breakfast in the morning & friendly staff. Perfect location if you’re okay with walking a bit down to the river.

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.

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.
Church at a walkable distance from hotel Rex.

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.

This property was built in the 1850’s as a home. In 1982 the property was converted to a hotel. It is very quaint. The rooms are somewhat small but the bathrooms are new and wonderful. It has an elevator to get you upstairs to the 3rd floor. They offer a very good continental breakfast that has a variety of options. We enjoyed our stay at the Rex
