Beautiful room once I got in but very hard to get in the building. I arrived to Porto a few hours early via train and wanted to see if I could leave my bags with the property prior to check in. Unfortunately they don't send checkin information prior to checkin time, at least in my case. I was able to find another number to talk to someone on Whatsapp but I found the face to face interaction rather rude after dragging my luggage and myself uphill. My stay there once I got past checkin was fine and close to much of what downtown has to offer. I never had to get on a bus, however I did get a Bolt ride to the airport. My advice to this property is to double-down on its communication with its guests prior to arrival. Let folks know what to expect at least 6 hours before they are expected to arrive, especially if they want to operate without a front desk associate. It will make a world of difference for your business in happy returning guests.

Our room was very nice, the bed was comfortable and the location is excellent. Everything is within easy walking distance and the Trasca restaurant just 50m served excellent tapas. I would recommend it however be aware, there is NO information available in the hotel as the front desk is deserted, the duvet cover was stained which we advised them of on the first night and the next evening they finally saw our message and wanted to leave it until we left but finally agreed and someone came to change it. This is also the only place we have ever stayed that did not have any soap in the shower or sink, never mind shampoo. Those last items were annoyances but didn’t impact our stay.

The space was just as adverstised, with easy communication via email. Accomondating our late check out was a life saver.

De manera general, buen alojamiento en todos los aspectos. Desgraciadamente, la habitación en la que estábamos estaba justo encima del restaurante al cual se accede por la calle paralela y se oía mucho ruído a la hora de la cena y hasta las 12 de la noche, e incluso más tarde.

El alojamiento esta en el punto perfecto de la ciudad para moverte. A la habitación le falla que no tiene televisión y que la calefacción va por aire acondicionado, nosotros tuvimos muchas lluvias durante el viaje y costaba muchisimo que se secara la ropa.
