The hotel deserved a better location. Amazing front office staff. The managing team should be proud. The bar staff very professional and very good upselling. I had a gin & tonic which was perfect. All the good brands available. Accommodation is good , beds are very good. Breakfast is normal .

If you drive to Oporto this a great option. I found it hard to imagine what one would do with a car if you stayed in the narrow street filled center of Oporto. We were here for 3 nights. We parked the car right in front of the hotel (no charge) and left it there. One can get across the... More

I arrived at this hotel without a reservation, was a taxi driver who suggested me to stay there and in fact the hotel is doing really good.

I will be staying here the end of March before embarking on a river cruise. Could someone please tell me how far this hotel is from the cruise terminal at the Cais de Gaia? Is there also a recommended city tour I could take? Any guidance would be appreciated.

After a long trip we were welcomed, with a smile, a glass of port and a an upgrade, who could ask for more from a hotel. Will definitely stay here again, not completely central but an easy jump to the centre and avoids crazy parking costs in the centre of Porto.

It is a great hotel. The room is very comfortable and the bathroom is ample. It is located on a top of a hill. There is a Corte Ingles superstore in the same place of a Metro station just 1km away. The location is on a residential area, so is a quiet one.
