Rua de Faria Guimaraes, 779 - 781, 4200 291 Porto
Located in the centre of Porto, the hotel is next to the Park Quinta do Covelo, a beautifully landscaped and sweeping park. The 'Marques' underground station is about a 10-minute walk away. Particularly worth seeing is the romantic district Ribeira by the Douro River, whose quaint houses are built on a hill in terraces.
If you are looking for central, affordable accommodation in the famous city of port wine, the Hotel Palanca is the perfect choice. The rooms are kept in a simple, rustic style, and were furnished in line with modern standards. Before setting off on a sightseeing tour in the morning, first have breakfast in the hotel.

Figures reflect data reported by the hotel for 2023. This data has not been recently updated and is due for resubmission.
