Perfect place to stay while visiting Porto!
Excellent Hotel! Great Location not too far out of town perfect for travelling into the centre if needed, very comfortable, wonderful breakfast, really enjoyed the swimming pool and hotub! all the staff are very helpful and welcoming! I enjoyed that the hotel was not too central as there were other places i wanted to go other than the center of the city. Would happily stay again!

Lovely hotel in public area room decor felt dated
Lovely hotel in public areas, our room unfortunately felt a bit dated and dull decor wise but it still did the job. If the room vibe was just as nice as the rest of the hotel that would have been better. Other than that good hotel all round.

Great choice!
My husband and I booked two suites for ourselves and another couple. We loved our rooms, they were spacious and had wonderful city views of Porto. Easy access to the Douro and to the beach. We will stay here again!

6/10 Good

Average to poor
This hotel may have been 5* 20 years ago but it's definitely not today. It's living on past reputation, which leads to disappointment. I had to get my room changed after the first night because it smelled of smoke, the bed was uncomfortable and the bathroom was dingy. Apart from the friendly staff, It was not what I expected and I wouldn't recommend.

The hotel is old and needs a refresh. The area is ok but you need to taxi/bus to get to nicer places to eat and explore. Some staff were very helpful but unfortunately, one in particular was not at all helpful. Don’t expect to get into your room before 3pm. Even then we had to Walt and didn’t receive any welcome or advice about the facilities. Very average!
