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.
Very nice hotel, not far for all the attractions! It is a very busy street so of your room facing the street its very noisy if the windows are open! Breakfast- great! Very accommodating as well. We arrived before check in time and were let into the room early! I recommend!!
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.
The property is very close to all the attractions. Everything is walkable. Staff were very welcoming, especially Sofia who was extremely patient and knowledgeable of the area. Excellent breakfast to start your day. Would definitely stay here again.

Exceptional!
Organic, fresh, diverse,
Beyond exceptional if I can express!
The room cleaned every day, wrapped every night in a fresh smelling sheets, bathroom was cleanest ever, the peaceful garden, all shops in walking distance! What else? Exceptional place and I’ll come again because it’s worth, I was extremely well prepared! Bravo to all kind staff, from cooks to front desk and cleaning the room! My regards to the owner, who earns my respect and trust for future business! Rodica Ottelia Ionescu from Canada, 🇨🇦
The breakfast was wonderful. Staff was attentive and responsive. The room may need some TLC. The location was accessible by train and walkable to everything. Sofia and Ana are excellent.
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.
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.
All excellent - from stuff that give us basic info and for stuff that organise breakfast. All 5+
Only location for room in basemant - really bad. Noise, can not open window because lot of cars drive there fast.
If come to Porto will again come here but try sleep on second floor.
Helpful desk. Clean. No elevator- should enquire age of client for room availability on lower floor. Long life milk for coffee outside of breakfast time. Glasses in room. Safe in room. Couple drawers for clothes.

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.
