Lovely hotel, front desk staff very helpful. Rooms clean and spacious. Breakfast fresh and varied. Outside pool ideal and always had beds available. Short Uber/Bolt trips into city centre for normally 5-7€. Airport trip 12€.
What a lovely place to stay. The terrace, overlooking the river, was the perfect place to enjoy a leisurely breakfast. Breakfast itself provided and excellent selection too.
The staff were very attentive, helping us get connected to their Internet and quickly replacing a malfunctioning kettle in the room. They were also very efficient when it came to getting a taxi or making reservations at restaurants.
We would certainly stay here again if we came back to Porto.

Beautiful views on the river with great food and outstanding breakfast.
We absolves this hotel! Excellence in just about everything. Great breakfast buffet, great service, ALL STAFF very, very hospitable, unbeatable location!! At our arrival we went to have dinner at the restaurant. While my husband went to use the restroom I let the waiter know it was our wedding anniversary and I asked if we ordered dessert they would be willing to plate it in a special way. He said yes, but when dessert came they outdid themselves! It was a dessert for two or delicious tiramisu with little lit candles and two glasses of champagne!! And all of that compliments of the restaurant for being our anniversary!! We will definitely come back and recommend this beautiful hotel.
