Top Centro / Baixa Hotel Reviews

Hotel Moon & Sun Porto

10/10 Excellent

"we only had 2 days left on our Portugal trip and ended it based at teh Moon and Sun. It is a fantastically situated city centre hotel (so there is city centre noise til after midnight - be warned :-) ) We wanted to be able to roam around the city easily, and the Moon and Sun facilitated that. They informed and advised us on the options, and we had a great time seeing the sights, and returning to the luxury sanctuary at the end of the day. The hotel itself is immaculate, and the staff are fantastically helpful. The room was super and the massive shower was very welcome."
