Reviews for InterContinental Porto-Palacio das Cardosas
Noisy hotel
The room was very noisy and we didn’t have one night good sleep. The room service was one of the worst I had experienced with IHG.

Excellent 5 star hotel with great location
Wonderful hotel! Bell staff, reception, and waitstaff all excellent and customer-focused. Appreciated the excellent English as well. Room was well appointed and bathroom spacious with bathtub, shower, two sinks, and separate room for commode and bidet.

Excellent stay but a bit of noise
It’s a beautiful hotel, in a great location and easily accessible. I loved the city. A very positive experience. The atmosphere is let down by the roadworks on Avenida dos Aliados, which unfortunately means there’s a bit of noise. I’ll definitely consider staying there again in the future.

Avoid the rooms facing the front
At the time of booking (2 days prior to arrival), I contacted your centre and was on the phone for approx 50 minutes. My sole request was to be allocated a room facing the rear of the property, as I anticipated that rooms at the front would be noisy and I am a light sleeper. The operator placed me on hold to liaise with the hotel and subsequently confirmed that a rear-facing room would be arranged. However, upon arrival, I was given the exact opposite, as the hotel advised that no rear-facing rooms were available. Although I was moved to a rear-facing room the following day, on the first night I only managed around 3 hours of interrupted sleep.

Worthy of its 5 star rating
Everything was perfect about the stay. We stayed 5 nights. Great selection from the breakfast buffet, plus hot food and a la carte options available to order. Sunday brunch was delicious. We had cocktails one evening in the bar and they were excellent. I gave 5 stars because every staff member we dealt with were friendly, very helpful and professional. Bed was so comfy. It’s a fantastic central location. Spa staff 5 star also. We will definitely return and can’t recommend this hotel enough.
