“The location was perfect for exploring nearby landmarks like Cais da Ribeira and Porto Cathedral, all within walking distance. The hotel was pristine, beautifully decorated, and the staff, especially Soraia, offered really good service. While the spa facilities, including the indoor pool and sauna, enhanced our relaxation, I was disappointed with the bath amenities. It was a nice experience that strengthened our family bonds.”

“Would definitely recommend it and would want to stay there again. The location is incredible and particularly good and just off restaurants and all the major monuments in Porto. The restaurant attached makes outstanding food.”

“The shower situation was a total disaster—completely see-through with mirrors everywhere. It felt so awkward, especially with our adult child needing to step outside when we showered. Definitely not what you'd expect for the price we paid!”
