Séjour pour affaires correct. Chambre vraiment bien, très bon état. Pas de parking il faut trouver une place dans la rue, ce qui n'est pas toujours évident vu que l'hôtel est situé en centre-ville.

Muy bien ubicada. Si vas con coche de alquiler debes pagar por dejarlo en la calle cada dos horas ya que no tiene parking privado. Si la habitación da para la calle estan bien, pero la imagen de las habitaciones que dan para el patio son muy feas. Solo tienen desayuno, pero está muy completo y muy rico. Relación calidad precio esta muy bien.

Hotel and staff are great. Shopping is close and walkable. Lively streets. Parking system in Porto is from the 1980's. You pay at a machine three blocks away, walk back to your vehicle and place your stub under the parking ticket that you received while walking the six block round trip. Seriously, I guess the city of Porto have not yet discovered the internet and the world of apps. Perhaps they have and their system generates more revenue, revenue from the parking fees and from the violation fees. It's almost a third world system.

Great location. Excellent breakfast. Very good room. Staff friendly and polite. Only issue is the cleaning which should be improved. There were smears on the mirrors upon our arrival, and they were exactly the same by the last day (6 days later!). Floor carpet was never vacuumed in our 6 days there. But the room was quite new and everything working as expected. Just too bad the cleaning is really average.

Rooms are small but well equipped although if you're staying more than a few days there's not much storage room for clothes. Breakfast was adequate, nothing fancy but all that's needed.

Unfortunately the breakfast wasnt great. Little to no vegan options. The quality of the other food options were sub par compared to other hotels we stayed at. The rooms were clean but could use more amenties such as additional towel hooks better lighting, makeup mirrors and under counter sink.
