Maison Albar Hotels Le Monumental Palace

We had two rooms for my family of 3…one had a queen and the other two (abutting) twins. They put us in rooms next to one another in an area where we had a private hall so we could keep our doors open between our rooms which I thought was very thoughtful of them. The only negative was that we had no view (some interior space, we just kept curtains closed), but it was worth it for the convenience for us. Rooms were both beautifully appointed with everything you would expect from a 5 star hotel. Rooms were very clean and nice sized. Bathrooms were lovely marble with double sinks and separate commode room and shower stall. Bed was sooo comfortable. Room www quiet, dark and cool which made for a great sleep. Water bottles and macrons at the turn down service was a nice touch. Front desk staff was very kind as was the bellman. He went out of his way to be friendly and helpful on several occasions during our short two night stay. Beautiful restaurant attached to the hotel although unfortunately we didn’t stay long enough to have a chance to try them. My son used the gym and pool and said it was great. We had a late day flight out and asked for a late checkout. They said to check that day, and if they were able to accommodate us keeping one room later they would. And as they said, if they can accommodate they will and they did, letting us stay until 2pm…and it felt like that throughout on all levels. Very nice location. If/when I go back to Porto, I will hope to stay at here again.
