I will definitely come back!! The staff members were really friendly. I have got a welcome drink on the first night which was really nice. Breakfast variety was plenty. The design of the room reflects the winery itself. There is plenty of place to store things. The good thing is there is a door separate the bedding area and bathrooms. There is 4 bathrooms to share in a 14-bed dorm and i never need to wait for a second to use it.

My first time visiting Porto. It is a cute little town. Hotel was very nice and quiet. Welcoming, professional staff. I was traveling solo. Enjoyed my breakfast every morning😎. There’s lots to do around there, wine tasting, shopping.. etc. If I ever find myself in Portugal/Porto again, I'll def be coming back here. Thank you!
