Fantastic hotel. We had an amazing experience and would love to stay again. Had no idea how special the location was going to be. The incredible breakfast and amaaaaaaaazing coffee / cappuccino was included unexpectedly making it also a wonderful value. Top notch all-round. Location was perfect. So close to train and bus and there are a ton of spectacular restaurants right on the same block and all around. Staff were also so friendly and helpful!

Good location, close to transport links and walkable to main sights. Excellent hotel & staff. In particular the breakfast staff. Lots of fresh breakfast options (Take your pick and choose your breakfast) Room excellent size and very clean. Only minor ' could haves' ; a few more shelves for clothes in the storage cupboard and a coat stand or hooks for the wet coats? Would definitely stay again without hesitation.

The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. They have transport service for a fee which was convenient. The kitchenette was a nice bonus on a multi day stay. Nespresso in room ( go to the Pingo around the corner and buy extra pods) was great because cafe’s don’t open as early as I wake up. The neighborhood is quiet in the morning, but gets livelier throughout the day. We didn’t eat on site, so I can’t comment on the complimentary breakfast

The property doesn't have kerb appeal,but come inside and it's fabulous. The rooms are spacious and very clean, the location is fantastic right in the heart of the city.we only have one grumble and that is the breakfast as there is not enough staff and the two girls that were there was run off their feet, also not only the long wait but breakfast was cold. We do recommend this hotel but breakfast needs more staff.

One of the best private hotel i have been in. V The architecture and design if bluffing. The rooms are very nice, unique and very comfy. Good sound isolation. The bathroom was beautiful. Noble materials. Nice staff and good breakfast. I strongly recommend it.location was good too.

We stayed for our honeymoon! The hotel was beautiful - very stylish! The staff were wonderful and made our stay memorable by putting roses on our bed and a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival! Breakfast was ok - basic choices and served a purpose. One thing - the bed - it wasn’t good! This may be personal choice - my husband found it ok- but I woke up so sore every morning, I even used the pillows from the sofa because it was like using balloons otherwise. And we did loose our lights twice - the staff were apologetic and quick to rectify this however. Other than this - our stay was wonderful!
5-night trip

10/10

The room was beautiful, very spacious and comfortable. Loved the lighting and décor. There was no terrace or balcony as advertised but this didn't really matter as there was plenty of space and we visited at a cooler time of year. Breakfast was nice and everything prepared upon request, although it wasn't totally clear what was available to have so we just had to go off the suggestions of staff, this felt a little odd. The location is on the edge of the city centre but it's easy to walk anywhere really, it is at the top of a hill so be prepared for that (Porto is a very hilly city). On the whole I'd definitely recommend the hotel, particularly on account of the beautiful, comfortable, clean room - possibly one of the nicest i've ever stayed in.

I wasn’t going to write a review but the way the customer service was I have no choice. What an awful experience and even worse customer service! It was our honeymoon and we were excited to stay here. The room looked clean and lovely and they even put roses out for us which we greatly appreciated. However, when we returned from dinner the room was so incredibly hot and uncomfortable they didn’t allow ac even though it was in the description and only had heat which was blasting. When we asked for help the front desk never came up to assist only what’s app’s us and basically said there’s nothing to do. When we opened the windows the noise from the local club was insanely loud and unbearable to keep open, which honestly didn’t make a difference. And the beds! I can’t believe they charge for people to stay on those beds. Hard as a rock and cheap sheets and materials, it was so miserable. They tried to offer another room that had the same issues then wouldn’t refund us on a stay we didn’t have. We left in the middle of the night and had a wonderful stay at the Intercontinental Palace who treated us like kings!! I’m all for supporting local businesses and boutiques hotels but prim and proper was the worst part of our trip. Expedia didn’t help the situation either!

Litet exklusivt hotel med 9 rum. Gatan utanför är lite ruff men inuti hotellet finns värme och känsla för detaljer. Väldigt prisvärt. Ta till stan och alla attraktioner. Hjälpsam personal och väldigt personligt. God frukost. Stark rekommendation

Prachtig hotel, mooie ruime kamers, fijn ontvangst en locatie zeer centraal. Enige nadeel is de gehorigheid van de bovenburen: zij bleven de hele nacht rondlopen in de kamer wat je erg goed kon horen in onze kamer (met oordopjes in). Heb je de bovenste kamer óf normale bovenburen dan is dit hotel de perfecte keuze

Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt im Prim&Proper. Unser Zimmer (an sich) war sauber (die Minibar leider nicht - aber das möchte ich keinesfalls als negativen Punkt anbringen!) und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das Personal war freundlich, hilfsbereit und aufmerksam. Das Frühstück (à-la-carte) war sehr lecker - alles wurde frisch zubereitet! Wirklich toll! Verbesserungsvorschlag: besseres Licht beim Spiegel im Bad / Waschbecken.
