Located in the historic center on Rua de Santa Catarina, this 3-star Porto hotel occupies an emblematic building classified as a Monument of Public Interest. Porto Coliseum Hotel features 24 air-conditioned rooms themed around cinema, circus, ballet, music, and theater performances. The accommodations include minibars, flat-screen TVs, and free WiFi, while premium suites add separate living areas and queen-size beds. A complimentary continental breakfast serving fresh fruit, croissants, eggs, and cereals starts at 7:30 AM daily. The Lounge Bar Coliseum provides drinks and views. The 24-hour front desk offers shuttle services and local tourism assistance. Bolhão Metro Station sits steps away, while São Bento Train Station and Aliados Metro are both 984.3 ft from the property. The hotel places guests within a 10-minute walk of Bolhão Market and near cultural landmarks like Majestic Café.

Pros

Themed rooms pay tribute to historic Coliseum performances

Located on Porto's main shopping street

Upper floor suites feature city views and enhanced soundproofing

Safety systems include carbon monoxide detectors and 24-hour security

Cons

Limited parking available only by prior arrangement

Standard rooms cannot accommodate extra beds or baby cots

“The location proves ideal, a short walk from Bolhão station and the main pedestrian street, yet surprisingly quiet. I especially appreciate the unique blend of cultural themes and modern comfort, with each room reflecting local performances. A rooftop terrace and proximity to transport further enhance its appeal.”
