Short city break to Porto
This hotel was ideally situated right on the river in the centre of the city. It was clean, quiet, comfortable, spacious and reasonably priced. Definitely would book again.

The staff member who greeted me was amazing and gave me a perfect Porto itinerary as well as friendly greetings daily! All staff was friendly but he made the stay memorable for me! Property is lovely and breakfast makes a nice plus. Can get loud at night … bring ear plugs if you sleep early

I like its location the best. The rooms are dark and need to be spruced up. The staff need training to be more aware of customer needs and to listen to their requests.

Nice location. Great reception staff. Difficult access - we’re not able to get dropped off and had to walk 1.5 blocks with the luggage.
Larisa, 2-night family trip
Verified Expedia guest review

6/10 Good

Location is great and rooms are decent, however we got a very loud room, on an alley and above a restaurant where there’s live music on weekends. Needless to say that we couldn’t sleep. The staff said that there’s nothing they could do since the hotel is full. In addition, over the 4 days we stayed there the WiFi was either not working or very slow. When we asked the staff about it, they said it was fine.

Friendly hotel in centre of historic riverfront ar
Good location very close to the square on the riverfront of the old town. Short distance to walk to many of tourist sights. About 10 mins wall from Bentoa station and metro (down or up the hill depending on to or from hotel). Pleasant room with good facilities and comfortable bed. Breakfast had quite a range of offerings. Reception staff helpful. We were on second floor at back and could hear noise (with windows shut) as nearby restaurants shut up but by 22.30 it was usually quiet and stayed that way until after 08.00 when we were up. I am a light sleeper but got 4 nights of pretty good sleep without probs.

Wi-Fi could be better. TV remote not working. Don’t like using paper cups to use for brushing teeth.

WiFi is always dropping off & TV remote control not working so couldn’t watch TV the entire stay. Should provide more than 2 paper cups in bathroom for brushing teeth because after 3 days the cups looses the shape.

The reception staff is wonderful. Our only complaint is the bed was uncomfortable. Close to the Duoro River! If you have difficulty walking there are steep roads to walk down.
