Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite cool. The room was small but workable and situated on the ground floor. It was large and had a bathroom with a super sized shower. The service was nice, with the staff always being friendly and helpful. The location was excellent for exploring Porto, right in the middle of the central pedestrian shopping district. The dining experience was pretty good with a bunch of different options available. The facilities were convenient and well-kept.
The hotel had mixed experiences - the rooms, service, and location were all positive aspects, while the dining and facilities had some room for improvement. The rooms, though small and with a strange smell initially, were well-equipped and had a nice bathroom. The service was friendly and efficient, especially with quick relocations when needed. The location was excellent for shopping and exploring Porto, with some steep hills to add to the charm, although the dining experience left a bit to be desired. Overall, a decent stay with some highs and lows.
Our stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was amazing, with lots of nearby shops and restaurants, and the service, especially from Fernandez, was top-notch. However, the room size felt cramped, and not all staff members were as friendly. Overall, a good experience with some room for improvement.
The hotel is cozy and modern, with a very good bathroom, flat-screen TV, and Internet in the small rooms, suitable for one person at best. The service, while undergoing refurbishment, remains friendly and helpful. The central location offers easy access to Porto's historic area, but keep in mind it's a bit of a walk to other tourist districts. The dining options are decent, although the hotel shows signs of wear. Overall, a good value for a short stay.
The hotel is in a perfect location, just a few meters from the metro station in one of Porto's most popular and central streets. The rooms, while a bit worn and in need of a makeover, are clean and comfortable. The noise from outside can be bothersome, especially when the window is open, but the trade-off is the warmth inside with the window shut.
The hotel had a unique room layout, with the bathroom and sitting area on one floor and the bedroom up a small set of stairs. While it was clean and comfortable, the lack of toiletries and modern electrical outlets was a downside. The price seemed a bit high compared to what tour agencies offer, and the location on a forbidden car street made it challenging to find public parking.
The hotel's location is absolutely great, right on the main shopping street, with a pedestrianised street outside and a very busy shopping area. The rooms were astonishing, modern in style, and more than adequate for a short stay with a decent-sized comfortable bed and a good powerful walk-in shower. The service was extremely helpful and friendly, from the moment I checked in, but unfortunately, it wasn't very friendly during the mornings before heading to breakfast. The dining experience was not particularly impressive, failing to sweeten a difficult night, and the hotel offers various facilities for guests to enjoy during their stay.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms, although a bit small, were nicely decorated and had all the necessary facilities. The service was exceptional, with Fernandez at the reception going above and beyond to assist us. The location was convenient for shopping and exploring the city. The dining experience was excellent with a wide selection of dishes. The facilities were satisfactory, and overall, it offered good value for money.
The hotel's rooms were tiny, poorly decorated, and very worn out, despite the close work paid with an almost 200 euros rate. Initially, we were put in a room that lacked comfort.
The hotel exuded old world charm next to the riverbank, offering a lovely experience despite some minor inconveniences. The rooms, though small for a family of four, were well-equipped with facilities and a nice bathroom. The service was mostly fantastic, with a small hiccup on the second day. The location was excellent, right at the center of the old town but with a bit of street noise. The dining experience was one of the best in our travels, though a timing issue was noted. Overall, a charming stay with great amenities but some noise and room size challenges.
The hotel exudes the charm of its glory days with impressive decor, yet the rooms are on the smaller side. The service was exceptional, especially from Nelson who provided valuable local insights. The location is at the top of the hill, offering an excellent starting point for exploring the city. While the dining experience varied, the facilities were dependable overall.
I stayed at this hotel, and it had its ups and downs. The rooms, while clean and somewhat comfortable, were on the smaller side, suitable for one person at best. The service from the staff was a mixed bag - they were friendly and somewhat helpful, but you could tell they were a bit weary after a long season. The location was spot on, right in the heart of Porto, perfect for exploring the city. The dining experience was decent, offering a variety of options, and the hotel had some nice facilities.
