Hotel Moon & Sun Porto
The breakfast was great. Not included in our booking but we added it and it was good value. Only thing we weren't aware of was the roof terrace being closed but the staff did say they could let us up If we wanted to. Very quiet hotel considering it's near a lot of the nightlife.
