Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms are not exactly as shown on the website but still a highlight due to the great air conditioning, dressing gowns, slippers, and a mini bar. Some improvements could include adding shaving/makeup mirrors for a better experience.
The hotel offers very comfortable and clean rooms, making it a good choice for three people. However, the presence of beggars around the establishment is a downside, and some room amenities like shaving/makeup mirrors are lacking. The service is friendly but inconsistent in availability, and location may not be ideal for tourists without a car. The dining experience is superb with a wide variety of options, although a bit pricey. Overall, mixed feelings about the value for money at €129, including breakfast.
The hotel offers great rooms with excellent amenities but is located in an area frequented by homeless individuals. The location, though not ideal for some due to noise and distance, is good enough. The dining experience is satisfactory with a mix of positive and negative aspects.
Our stay at the hotel was enjoyable overall. The rooms were a bit small for a family of four, especially considering we had prepaid, but they were clean. The staff was incredibly helpful and the breakfast served was fantastic, offering a variety of choices. The location was convenient for exploring both Porto and neighboring areas, with easy access to major attractions. However, the dining experience could have been better due to queuing for the toaster and the pricing being on the higher side.
The hotel offers well-equipped rooms, though a bit small for a family with older children. The service was friendly and helpful, and the location is convenient with free car parking. The dining options were excellent, featuring a wide variety of fresh choices. The facilities are top-notch, perfect for a relaxing stay.
