The Editory Garden Porto Hotel

This is a stylish, newly opened hotel. The design of the hotel, looking out on to the most beautiful Mediterranean garden, is stunning. Our room was huge and beautiful. The air conditioning worked super effectively. The bathroom was ultra luxurious…huge, chic and with a beautiful rainfall shower tiled in sunburst colours. This new hotel is linked, via the garden, to the longer established Editory Artist hotel. We strolled across the garden to this sister hotel and enjoyed a delightful ‘tasting menu’ one evening, lunch is also available. The hotels offer ‘placements’ to students from the neighbouring tourism and catering college, which means that service is absolutely excellent. The staff were so friendly and enthusiastic. There was a real vibrancy to the hotel.

The breakfast was good, especially once I realised I didn't have to fill my plate with sweet treats! I liked the quiche, cheese and rocket, and fresh fruit. The bedroom was spacious, the shower was lovely. The garden was lovely (although the weather was a bit cold for sitting out in the morning).

The hotel was really comfortable, the staff were excellent. Coffee machine in the room was excellent (yay good espresso!) We also loved the location for what we were looking for. We also had the Moments" testing menu in the sister hotel (which is a hospitality training school) at the recommendation of our Duoro Valley tour guide who had eaten then before and it was amazing. So well done! We'd definitely stay again.

It was clean and tidy, stylish and rather big. The location was excellent, just a few minutes walk from main street. Breakfast could be a little more varied, as the options were somewhat limited, but everything was fresh and well-prepared. The staff was friendly and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, it’s a fantastic place to stay, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

We were greeted so warmly when we arrived and we managed to have our room 2 hours before official check in at 3pm. Our room was super clean, and on the third floor with the lift being close by. The bed was so comfy, the shower was 10/10! Loved that we could actually open the window and get some air flowing through. We visited for our anniversary and came back to our room later to some brownies and a little note. Fantastic location, incredible value for money. We didn’t have the breakfast so can’t comment on that.
