“Royal Porto City strikes me as a practical choice, particularly given its location within a short walk of the city center and the praise for the helpfulness of the staff; these are considerable advantages. The rooms are clean and spacious, and while some past guests mention the decor as 'vieillot', the overall experience seems positive. For travelers prioritizing location and service, Royal Porto City is a worthy consideration.”
