Personalized breakfast that are ordered online before going to the breakfast room. Spacious rooms (in the hotel part of the hotel), good beds. Nice location just next to the warehouse of Sandemans. Walking distance to Porto center, also available by cable car and tram. Good restaurants in the vicinity. No cheap car park in the area. Try to find something on the nearby streets.

The staff were fantastic! The food was freshly cooked and the views from the lobby were great! The vibe and aesthetic of the hotel are great! Location can be beat. Easy to walk everywhere! The ONLY tough part were the stairs to the lobby. Be aware of that before booking. That being said the staff were kind enough to help us with our very heavy luggage.
