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.

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.

10/10

the staff was fantastic. the breakfast at the hotel was very tasty with a mix of basic breakfast things and local specialties. arranging the transfer via expedia/email with the hotel was very easy and worked out perfectly. would come here again.
