"Bedrooms are compact but high-ceilinged, many with floor plans that were influenced by the building's former role as a private office." Full review
Lonely Planet Lonely Planet
"A few steps from the Instituto do Vinho do Porto, the three-star Hotel da Bolsa has an attractive facade, but spare carpeted rooms, with small windows and not much space to move about." Full review
