The hotel is located in one of the best areas of Vila Nova de Gaia. The room with the balcony/river view is amazing and picturesque. They have 30 rooms but only 7 that face the river with a balcony. It is above several restaurants. We would sit in our bed and look outside the doors to the river and Porto side. It did get busy on the street after 9am until past midnight. But the doors are sound proof and blocked out the noise. The room itself is amazing, clean and modern. We received many compliments on the views from our room. I would definitely book here again. It doesn’t have a pool/spa/bar but who needs that when visiting this beautiful city with such a gorgeous view. So much to do and explore on both sides.

Perfect location - being located on the Gaia side of the river Douro, the hotel provides the perfect view of porto Skyline. *just make sure you book a riverview room on upper floors*. If you wish to get new towels or new sheets or have the rooms cleaned on daily basis, you would need to inform the reception downstairs so, as the this place provides serviced apartments. I would recommend this place without hesitation.

L'accueil est très chaleureux. Les appartements sont très spacieux et propres. Nous avons apprécié la chambre du 3ème étage sans vue sur le Douro grâce à la terrasse et la vue dégagée sur les caves de Porto. Le centre historique de Porto est à quelques minutes à pieds et il y a pléthore de restaurants sur cette rive du Douro.

전망만 좋았던 호텔. 사진보다 건너편의 올드 타운의 이쁜 풍경이 더 가깝게 보이는 느낌이였어요. 그게 사진에 담기지 않아서 아쉽네요. 장점은 전망! 단점은 일단 오토바이크로 묘기 부리는 사람들이 밤늦게 쌩쌩 달리는 소리가 들려요. 베란다 창문의 방음이 생각보다 좋지 않아요. 주말엔 낮에도 오토바이크로 시끄럽게 왕복하는 사람들이 있어서 소란스러움. 넘 피곤해서 그냥 자긴 했어요. 그리고 강이 바로 앞이라서 그런가? 바퀴벌레가 외부에서 들어오는거 아닌가 싶은데 저 여기서 방 바꿔서 3박했는데 바퀴벌레 3마리 잡았어요. 강 전망 방이랑 건물 전망 방이랑 다 자봤는데 보통 강 전망 방이 더 잘 나가서 그런지 그 방의 시설들이 더 낡았어요. 패브릭 소파를 혹시나 해서 소독 티슈로 닦아봤는데 때가 엄청 묻어나왔어요. 제가 열심히 그 소파 닦아드렸네요. 체크인하는 곳 바로 위의 강 전망 방 소파 제가 소독해드렸어요 ㅜ ㅜ 여튼 이렇지만 강전망은 바로 코 앞이라 그건 좋긴해요. 여길 한국 사람들이 신혼 여행 숙소로 간다던데 음... 전 잘 모르겠어요. 더 비싼데 가세요. 근데 여기도 다른데에 비해 싼 가격은 절대 아니였음.

We stayed 7 days in a river view apartment. The views are simply stunning no matter what time of the day it is or the weather. The apartments are in Vila Nova de Gaia (Gaia), opposite the lively area of Riberia across the river Duro. There are many restaurants and cafés literally on the doorstep, or a short walk up the road. Or a 5-minute walk over the bridge to the Riberia side. The apartment was very clean, well-equipped and the staff were helpful and welcoming. Boat tours, sky-lifts and port-tasting are all on your doorstep. TIPS: It gets very busy in the afternoon when the sun is out, so we tended to explore and do things before 15:00, then it was lovely to relax over the view with sangria on the Riberia side. The evening sun is on the Gaia side. Although Porto isn't as hilly as Lisbon, there are still some hills, so bring good shoes!

Apartment is right on Avenida de Diogo which is the street across the Ribeira. The best view of Porto! Hands down!😄 The receptionist is super friendly and helpful. It can get loud at night but it dwindles down by 11pm. Street vendors daily, right outside the apartment with very appealing products to sell. Street performers entertain you just outside the balcony! I had the room on the second floor overlooking Porto and Avenida de Diogo.

We loved this apartment and wished we had stayed longer. This was a large space with high ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, separate seating area with tv and kitchenette away from sleeping space - though still open concept and airy. The front desk staff was super friendly and helpful. We felt at home for the short two nights we stayed in this apartment in this incredibly beautiful city.

This property was absolutely beautiful. We booked it for the view and wow it did not disappoint. I wouldn’t stay with a rear facing view so make sure you book the apartments with the frontal view of Porto - like something off a postcard! 3 huge double windows allowing lots of natural light. Restaurants just below and market stalls, everything was walkable distance. Personally didn’t need use of the kitchenette so have no comment on this - there’s so many beautiful restaurants on your doorstep no need to eat in. Singers busking below at the restaurants stopped around 11pm meaning the hustle and bustle of the day just outside is nice and quiet come bedtime. Would happily stay again and recommend to anyone visiting Porto.
