Norte, Portugal hotel rooms at the Independent

"Very good experience. Friendly environment. "

"Top notch 5 star hotel. Rooms were super quiet even though you’re right in the middle of town. Beds were comfortable, pool was heated inside and outside, restaurant was delicious for breakfast and dinner……I can’t say enough good things about this hotel. Careful parking on the street though, my car got impounded and it was $200 to get it back from the police. Pay the $30 per day and use the garage around the corner "

"Great hotel, close to airport and a free shuttle bus."

"Location is very good for everything. Staff are very nice and helpful. Place is clean. Noise from below restaurant kind of loud on the weekend."

"This is a great hotel within minutes of the airport. The shuttle is convenient and one just needs to call ahead to reserve it. It’s also conveniently located within a 5 minute walk of the light rail (metro) which gets you to downtown Porto in about half an hour. The restaurant is great; one of the best bacalhau à brás! The hotel is clean and quiet and the staff are fantastic. The only suggestion for improvement would be better lighting in the bathroom."

"This is a beautiful hotel. The lobby and rooms are gorgeous and it is in a very easy area to walk many places. The bell staff even worked extra hard to repair my suitcase handle (which they did!) which was extra appreciated. Top rate staff and hotel all around. "

"We loved our stay in this hotel. Situated very conveniently in the city centre of Porto has an underground parking, nice restaurant. The check-in was easy and pleasant, so ad a whole stay inthe hotel. Very clean, comfortable, the staff is symply wonderful. Would definitely recommend "

"The only problem was on the last afternoon/ evening there was a rave in a garage in the neighborhood. The music was very loud and annoying and went on until exactly 11:00pm. But then the noise of dismantling the venue went on for at least another hour. It put a damper on an otherwise perfect stay."
