Booked my first trip to Portugal 3 weeks before heading to Porto and didnt do research on where to stay. But I am very pleased i selected to stay at Hotel Jaguar! I really enjoyed staying in a local area that is conveniently located to the center of Porto. The metro was an easy walk, easy and quick travel to the Sao Bento stop and to Gaia. The staff is wonderful and as a solo traveler this was very warning to me! The drivers to/from the airport were very kind and tmely. Carolina took her time checking me in and escorted me to my room; she even sent sraff to make sure my room was clean and ready since I was an early morning arrival. The evening staff warmly greeted me when I returned back to the hotel and Andre was always so accommodating. The fruit, water and chocolate wafers were so thoughtful and welcoming when i entered my room. I also enjoyed my complimentary welcome drink on my last evening. I asked the evening frint desk for a spa to ger a massage and they promptly found a great local spa within walking distance on th e same road as the hotel which was so lovely and I highly recommend (deBest Massage.) I would definitely stay at Hotel Jaguar again. Porto city center is lovely but very bustling with tourists, traffic and workers that it was such a nice respite to feel like a local, take an inexpensive metro ride a few stops and be in a quiet lical neighborhood with shops, restaurants and a beautiful church which I attended for Palm Sunday Mass. Thank you to Hotel Jaguar
