“The Rex Hotel Porto offers a real-world trade-off: a manageable walk to the city center alongside rooms that, while spacious and equipped for tea, might feel a touch dated underfoot. I found the staff genuinely helpful, and the price point makes those small compromises feel quite reasonable. Plus, that nearby snack bar and real ale spot? That's local charm you can't manufacture.”
