The central location also means that exploring the local area, including the vibrant promenade and numerous dining options, is exceptionally convenient. Moreover, the nearby subway connection to Porto makes it easy for visitors to explore beyond the immediate vicinity.

Breakfast
However, there is a recurrent theme among the reviews emphasizing the limited variety and lack of more diverse options such as fresh fruits, eggs and whole grain bread. Several guests noted that extras like fresh orange juice and scrambled eggs come with an additional charge, which detracted from their overall experience. Additionally, some pointed out the poor quality of coffee and the lack of healthy or local options.
While the breakfast area was found to be dark and the selection monotonous, many guests still appreciated the inclusion of breakfast in the room price, deeming it reasonable for the hotel’s rating. In summary, while breakfast at Luso Brasileiro has its perks, particularly in terms of quantity and basic quality, it could significantly benefit from greater variety and fresher, healthier options.
Rooms
However, the reviews also indicate that the rooms are dated and could benefit from modernization. Some specific issues mentioned include outdated furniture, stained carpets, cracked sinks, rust spots in bathtubs and general wear and tear.

Despite these drawbacks, the overall experience is deemed satisfactory by many with good value for money and efficient daily cleaning services. The hotel's central location and the courteous staff handling booking errors without additional costs add to the positive aspects of staying at Luso Brasileiro.
Beds
However, there are notable issues brought up by guests that cannot be overlooked. A recurring complaint is the size of the beds—they are often described as too small, not wide enough and not meeting modern standards.

A few guests have mentioned the need for new mattresses and a general review of the bedding.
Additionally, practical inconveniences such as a lack of outlets near the bed and beds taking up too much space in the room were pointed out. While the overall comfort of the beds can be appreciated by some, the smaller size and variable mattress quality indicate that there's significant room for improvement to meet guest expectations better.
