I researched relentlessly for the perfect hotel in Porto, and Hotels 705 comes pretty darn close. The staff and service stand out far above most other places. If I could rate the friendly, helpful, kind staff above a 5 stars I certainly would. We felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. The hotel itself is beautiful and clean. Large rooms with sound proofing, kitchenettes and we had a large terrace facing the city. I think a view of the garden would have also been lovely. The street is small that passes by the hotel, and it’s in a residential neighbourhood, so not much street noise. The only thing we encountered traveling late August was that even though there are numerous restaurants (although not as many if you stayed closer to the historic downtown) within walking distance from the hotel, many were closed for summer holidays. Shout out to Casanova, amazing local spot right around the corner from the hotel, with remarkable staff and a cute back patio. Also, perfect small grocery store walking distance from the hotel, with fresh pastries and fish. We visited almost every day.
To get downtown you can certainly walk, it is all downhill. However, to return to the hotel you will be walking uphill. We used Bolt’s to travel home sometimes and they were very economical.
All in all, perfect spot for us to stay and enjoy Porto. You are not in the tourist busy districts, so you actually do get to enjoy the way locals live in Porto. Five out of five stars!
