Rooms are often spacious and comfortable, though a few are small or darker, and annex guests may need to step outside to reach breakfast. There is no elevator and stairs can be steep, which several guests note. Breakfast is widely described as delicious and varied, with occasional comments about limited choices or an off‑day. Expect a characterful, small-scale stay that balances historic charm with modern comfort.

Our room was large and extremely comfortable. It had a second set of doors that opened into a beautiful private Courtyard with the pool. The bathroom was modern and very functional. There was a coffee maker in the room on a desk which we used once. We both liked the breakfast buffet and indulged! Location was across the street from the Marques Metro stop, which we used twice. Staff was extremely accommodating and helpful. We highly recommended this hotel. There weren't many restaurants nearby, so we really enjoyed Mama Mia two nights in a row.

We had a wonderful stay here. Lovely hotel with a gorgeous garden and swimming pool, friendly staff, convenient setting. Lots of shops, cafes and a metro nearby, easy enough to walk into Porto too. The room was clean, cool and comfortable and the garden really made it special. Great breakfast too! Staff were so helpful and welcoming. We’ll be back when we visit Porto again.

Initially we were a bit disappointed as the room we were given was quite dark and in the annex to the main buiding, and it necessitated going on to the main road to the main building (using key cards) for breakfast and the gardens / swimming pool. We moved rooms for the 2nd night and the experience was so much better - a room in the main building with a large balcony. Make sure you ask for eggs with your breakfast if you want them as they're cooked to order, but we weren't told on our first day so didnt realsie they were included.

This is a beautiful hotel. It’s an easy walk to the key tourist areas, and it’s right by a metro stop, making it a great location to get around from. There are lots of cafes and other shops right around the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was lovely and quite comfortable. The WiFi was sometimes difficult to connect to in our room. Breakfast was delicious and a nice variety. The courtyard is very nice!

A very classy property, spacious rooms and modern beautiful bathrooms. We loved the location on a small bustling square directly opposite the yellow metro line station taking you 4 or 5 stops to the historical centre. Also easy access with one stop to either train station and airport. Lovely garden with pool and sun beds. Run by a group of lovely and helpful young people. It was an ideal stay for us.

I liked that the accomodation at walking distance was of the metro. The staff was very friendly and without hesitation they made us cappucionno for breakfast, which we appreciated very much. The breakfast buffet was nice, and had everything we needed. I didn’t like the noise of the busstop in front of our room, we couldn’t sleep with the windows open.

Really enjoyed the very spacious room with a good terrace overlooking the garden. Staff were super friendly and really helpful at all times. Breakfast was good. The location on the metro was really easy for transport, also close to centre so short taxi if felt like it. Minor downside was having to go out of the building onto the street then re-enter at reception to access dining room, garden and pool, but really very minor. Overall really enjoyed it and will be recommending to friends.

I had a lovely stay at this charming small hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived. While waiting for my room to be ready, they offered me a glass of port wine, which was a lovely touch. Throughout my stay, everyone was helpful and genuinely service-minded, with great local tips on where to go and where to eat. Even after checkout, they let me relax by the pool for a few hours before my flight back to Norway — something I really appreciated. It’s that kind of thoughtful hospitality that makes a place stand out. I’ll definitely be back! Best regards, Simen

We had a wonderful stay here. Lovely hotel with a gorgeous garden and swimming pool, friendly staff, convenient setting. Lots of shops, cafes and a metro nearby, easy enough to walk into Porto too. The room was clean, cool and comfortable and the garden really made it special. Great breakfast too! Staff were so helpful and welcoming. We’ll be back when we visit Porto again.

Dejligt hotel med lækker have og fred og ro. Supervenligt personale og god service Vi var der i sluts marts og der var noget koldt på badeværelset. Indhold og service i forbindelse med morgenmaden var meget forskellig fra dag til dag og en dag ikke så god.

A lovely place to stay - very convenient for buses and the Metro but in a quiet residential area. Lovely garden and pool area. The staff couldn't have been more professional and helpful - really impressive. The breakfast was amazing - lots of choice.

We’ve just spent a week in this beautiful hotel and it was everything I had hoped it would be. The building has been renovated and decorated in perfect keeping with its historic architectural style whilst adding modern comfortable features. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the breakfasts fabulous.

Initially we were a bit disappointed as the room we were given was quite dark and in the annex to the main buiding, and it necessitated going on to the main road to the main building (using key cards) for breakfast and the gardens / swimming pool. We moved rooms for the 2nd night and the experience was so much better - a room in the main building with a large balcony. Make sure you ask for eggs with your breakfast if you want them as they're cooked to order, but we weren't told on our first day so didnt realsie they were included.
