The main asset to this hotel are the staff. They make your stay. They are extremely friendly, relax and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble and they are very attentive. The hotel could do with some minor improvements like the shower door in our room didn't connect together and there is very little space to put your clothes (and even when there is they are on show). Really good location and loved the little touches like a welcome drink and leaving your suitcases secure on your last day.

There are many negatives here. It was sweltering hot in Porto so the AC had to be used, but the vent blows right on you when you sleep. The balcony ( which had amazing views) didn’t have a handle to let you back in! Parking is a nightmare and ridiculously expensive. I could go on but I’ll spare you and me the first world whining.

A very nice little boutique hotel, well located in the old town of Porto. Wonderful staff, delicious breakfast and a lovely bar. The rooms are a little too small and the lighting is not great but it is definitely worth a stay in this little gem.

This small hotel is perfectly located within easy walking distance of Porto’s lively riverfront, but out of the immediate crowds. The building and lobby bar/restaurant are beautiful as are the rooms. The best part of this experience was the attentive and friendly staff.

No onsite parking. Had to park 1/2 a mile away and walk in the rain. After driving and looking for parking lots that still had spaces for a long time. The hotel is near the water in an incredibly busy and noisy area, great for sightseeing though! Breakfast was good and the staff were great!

The hotel is neat, cozy and in a convenient location. It is right by Douro River, and you can watch nice sunset and walk to the restaurants and bars along the river in less than 2 minutes. The hotel staff are super friendly and made me feel like home. The hotel is clean and has cute Christmas decorations (I stayed in early December), and the room is clean and well furnished. I love the fact that the bed is high and comfortable, which soft but thick pillows that supported my neck and helped me sleep really well. The bathroom floor has heated tiles so my feet felt nice and warm stepping on it despite the cold weather. I also enjoyed opening the window and watching the busy streets with a cup of hot tea (my room had the city instead of the river view as the river ones were fully booked), which was one of the most memorable moments during my stay in Porto. The hotel breakfast was fantastic! They even had açai juice! They offered a wide selection of foods: yogurt, cheeses, fruits, pastries and bread, and you can order bacon and eggs from the kitchen (btw the scrambled eggs were delicious)! The breakfast wasn’t as lavish as the fancy hotel ones and this is exactly what I liked about it, as the right amount of foods and the cleanliness have made me feel that the staff poured in their hearts into every single detail. The hotel almost felt like home to me, I would definitely choose the same hotel if I go to Porto again.

Posizione centralissima (tutte le attrazioni sono raggiungibili a piedi). Camera all’ultimo piano con vista sulla città, molto spaziosa, con arredamento moderno e 2 bagni (uno dei due con doccia e doppio lavandino). Personale molto gentile. Da migliorare: - nel divano letto la rete cigola e il materasso è molto basso (5/6 cm), quindi un po’ scomodo; - i lavandini sono belli e di design ma è praticamente impossibile non bagnare fuori quando ci si lava la faccia); - due buchi nella resina del pavimento della doccia; - un cuscino del divano letto macchiato. Suggerimento: avrei gradito due cestini per la raccolta differenziata di carta e plastica.

Just wow! Perfect location overlooking the monument by the palace and the river is literally behind the hotel. Staff are absolutely fantastic and helpful. Couldnt recommend them highly enough from getting around to excellent restaurant reservations, nothing is too much trouble. We celebrated my husband's birthday whilst we were away and they left celebratory goodies in the room for him which was a lovely touch. The staff are a real asset to this hotel. We had a city view room which had 2 french balconies overlooking the palace directly in front and the cathedral to the right (see pics). Breakfast style buffet but with a real boutique hotel style and eggs and bacon made to order if you wish. Located 5 minute from Sau Bento metro (downhill all the way) would recommend the €5 taxi ride back to the metro with luggage as a steep incline with luggage. Metro is really easy to navigate and very cheap. Recommend the 6 bridge cruise and the tuk tuk historic rides which are also reasonably priced and you cant go to Porto without checking out the port cellars! Recommend Calem for restaurant on the other side of the river for great food and views. Also Mitsu was an amazing restaurant close to the hotel. The only negative if youre trying hard to find fault is lack of storage/hangers/space but hardly a reason not to stay here! Thank you for a fantastic stay.

This hotel by far had one of the best staff who helped assist with all our restaurant reservations that required phone calls even before I arrived. upon arrival there were very accommodating for some of our requests, and it's perfectly located in Porto to access The main sites. We faced the river, and I could have hung out of that window for hours just for the view. I would love to stay here again. Included breakfast was very helpful for the mornings even though there are many options nearby to try.

We loved this hotel and it's location by the water! It was lovely to stroll by the water and take in the sites of the bridges and look up into the town in the evening. Although most of the tours an activities we did while in Porto were uphill starts, we gave ourselves time to walk and enjoy the hidden streets of the town along the way. We loved walking back to the hotel downhill and being back near the water. The hotel was clean and the staff was very helpful with all of our needs and questions!
