We loved our stay at this beautiful property. The staff were exceptionally helpful, with great suggestions on local attractions, dining etc. The room was lovely and the breakfast was super. Everything was spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfortable. We loved it and would definitely stay there again.

The staff were super welcoming and helpful! The location is convenient to the metro to the airport, and close to the busy areas of Porto, with just enough distance to be quiet and relaxing. The room has a lovely balcony and (important for the summer!) great AC! Also, the breakfast spread is lovely with plenty of options beyond bread & jam -- fresh juice, fruit, pastries, yogurt, cereal, eggs, cold cuts, etc.

Staff were helpful and courteous.
The challenge for me was the limited orden e of staff. After 5 there is nobody around. The receptionist responds if you send an email about a specific concern or question but you do lot have the associated services Such as access to information, getting a taxi, etc. there’s nobody.

Excellent guest house close to city centre
We asked for a quiet room and were given a garden room which was very quiet. Hotel building is modern, stylish and clean. Marta on reception is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice. Our room was nice, wifi was good, bed comfy, shower good. It is in a great location to walk around Porto and to the river. We enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

Easy distance to the things to see in Porto
Outside of the old part of Porto, but walkable although it is really uphill from the river. The Metro was a short walk away, with a station on the south bank of the Douro.
Marla, on the front desk, was very helpful with transit and restaurant recommendations.

Nice hotel in Porto
Nice hotel about a 10 minute walk to the metro. Rooms were comfortable and staff were very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was nice with selection of breads, cold meats and cheese, fruit, some pastries, eggs and coffee/tea.

A wonderful time
We had a wonderful time in Porto and loved the hotel which is so conveniently situated between Lapa and Trindade metro stations, Trindade being a hub, so handy for going to many places.

We stayed for nine days. We received a very warm welcome and were given lots of information about places to visit. The room we had was clean and comfortable. The breakfast provided was excellent and the staff were very attentive and friendy. We had a hire car and it was a relief to be able to park it somewhere safe & convenient. The hotel is a 40 minute walk to the main tourist attractions in Porto. Generally it is an excellent place to stay.

Great value for money in the center of Porto
We booked a deluxe room, and loved the place:
- Staff is incredibly friendly
- Room was modern, clean and spacious
- Daily breakfast is modest but has all you need, including fresh orange juice
- Good location, 10 mins walk to city center
We heard some of the other rooms weren’t as good, so I recommend paying a bit extra for the deluxe. Anyway, we had a fabulous time.

Good stay but read on….
Overall, it was a good stay. The downsides are no one at the front desk to ask questions and get help the majority of the time and breakfast starts at 8-8:30. Most tours and transportation occurs before this time so breakfast gets missed. They do not offer a to go breakfast bag like many hotels offer. The room and bed were fine.
