Margaret, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This small boutique hotel has rooms right on the Douro River. The view was amazing! Located in the historic old town, it was convenient to walk everywhere. The room and bathroom were large and roomy, and the bed and linens were comfortable. Breakfast included was very good, with many fresh fruits, breads, and eggs to order.
Janice, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location was excellent. We had booked a room with a city view but all we saw was an alley. Staff were very nice and we had our laundry done for 30 euros! The breakfast was good but if you wanted eggs etc it was an extra fee which was not obvious. Area was noisy at night. Overal a nice stay in Porto.

Couldn't have had better in Porto

Excellent location and base to explore Porto from. Could not have had better. Hotel rooms were very nice and loved the exposed stone work in the rooms and lounge.

Owen, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This location is wonderful and the staff was excellent. The property is so small that it lacks some amenities but it’s a trade off to the location and the special feel of the hotel.

Great central location. Super helpful and friendly staff. River view Rooms have wonderful views and renovated ancient rock walls! One downside is the AC needs some work!
