We stayed in Porto for a few nights. We were right on the waterfront and on a plaza where there were lots of festivites happening day and evening. The hotel was very pleasant. The room we had was two stories high, so it felt like an apartment. It had balcony windows you could open up onto the plaza. Just delightful.... More

No parking, lousy decoration, terribly noisy - up to 1h30 am people singing out loud in the street and vacuum-cleaning at 7h10 am. They offer you a welcome Port wine while you're checking in and have yet to bring your bags up!

Overlooking the river and in the center of the riverfront restaurants, this is the perfect place for exploring Porto. It can get a bit noisy during the day but by 9 or 10 the street noise has died down and with double paned windows the room is absolutely quiet. The staff is well trained, cordial and efficient. Breakfast is an... More

Lovely hotel in amazing location along the Douro River. Based on tripadvisor reviews, I paid the extra money to get a room with a river view and it was worth it. Nice breakfast and excellent service. We had to leave early in the morning to catch a train and they opened breakfast 15 minutes early so we could eat before... More

I know beds are a personal preference but, this hotel has no pillow choice at all, like them or lump them Our room 512 with its balcony has a wonderful view looking over the river and the Port warehouses, a buzzing tourist area, great to watch over the activity. Vehicular access to the hotel is limited although the hotel have... More

Unfortunately, they didn't warn us about all the street construction going on in Porto, so this hotel was actually a pain to get to. Otherwise I would rate it a great hotel. Comfortable, clean, nice staff, decent value.

Right along the Douro River and in the middle of all the action in Porto's old city, this hotel is somehow serene. Fine services round out the picture. There is a bar with food service for quick snacks. And a business center. And the rooms lack nothing. The view onto the river, with people and boats all around, from one's... More

One of the most relaxing stays in a long while. Just standing at the balcony watching the Douro and people flow by. The room is spacious and very comfortable. Great cafes and shopping are just outside.
