I booked this hotel to be close to family that was visiting. Very nice place to stay. Staff was helpful and frinedly. Asking a few questions I received some great recommendtions of places and areas to go. All was within walking distance. In Porto i would covern 8-12 miles a day easily. Always felt safe. Breakfast was a great start to the day. The bed was comfortable. bathroom very nice. small gym filled the purpose.

It was a good hotel, comfort, it is just that it costs more than average, at least put in the room coffee, how come in a 4 star hotel they is no coffee /hot water. Also as written before, all hotels that parking costs money, mention it in the description, but here they say parking and nothing regarding 15euro fee.

This hotel is in a great location, away from the main square but this means it’s very quiet and you can get a good nights sleep. We wanted hot water for tea and the super kind staff brought us a whole tea making tray, with mugs, a kettle and teabags. The front desk team have been very kind regarding a member of our party who was unable to travel. We very much appreciate their kindness with this. The rooms can get a little warm and the button for air con is tricky to find. However once you do the rooms are a perfectly fine. Our room was spotless and seemed very fresh and new! Lovely decoration too. I’d stay here again if visiting Porto.

The staff are helpful and friendly, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. They even have a limited room service menu - a nice surprise in a hotel of this size. To me the location is ideal, but I visit Porto often. It’s quiet and there are nice restaurants within an easy walk (Ribeira is pretty but those HILLS). It’s also easy to get rideshare or taxis. The only minus, and this occurs a lot in Portugal, is that there is no sound insulation on the plumbing so you hear every flush in your stack. Minor. I would stay here again.

Quiet, modern, cozy hotel with great facilities (rainfall shower, safe, AC, ample storage, etc) and nice touches like slippers and complimentary water and chocolates on arrival. Very clean. Pleasant staff. Excellent location: in a quiet area, 10 mins walk to the nearest metro station and shop, 20 mins to the city centre. The beds are quite hard, could do with a topper, but still pretty comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

The hotel check in was exemplary. The young fellow who works the night shift (we checked in at 7pm) went out of his way showing us maps and giving restaurant recommendations. He explained the local food, how to order and the differences. We had an issue with the safe and he fixed it straight away. If they could clone him, I would only book in these hotels. He made the trip better. Thank you.
