This hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Porto, and an easy walking distance to all the major sights. Check-in was a breeze, the staff were incredibly accommodating, and the room was spotless and exactly as described. Valentina’s, the hotel restaurant, serves fantastic pasta and has some of the friendliest servers I met on the trip. I’d happily stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Porto.

Good but was better 12m ago. The coffee at breakfast is pretty bad out of the machine (top tip if you want an americano, don't press americano because that's instant coffee and awful, hit 2x espresso then fill with water then it's bean 2 cup). Great location and lovely staff, but missed the little treats from 12m ago.

Lovely staff / great location

Great Boutique hotel - Super friendly lovely staff / excellent location, comfortable bed. A great Bar right next to the hotel. Can be noisy but that didn’t bother us and the windows are double / tripple glas and you don’t hear much if they are closed. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Chic & basic was awesome. It was in the perfect location. We could stop by the room anytime because it was close to everything we were interested in. The beds were comfy, the breakfast was super convenient with lots of variety, and the internet access was great. We hung out at the bar across the street one night and had a blast and met some new friends. We even met anniversary twins at the bar (we were married the same day and same year). We would definitely stay there again next time we are in Porto!

Despite being opposite one of Porto’s noisiest late-night spots, the rooms in this bright, modern, chic, affordable hotel are almost soundproof, and you’ll never hear a thing. Walkable to everywhere in this walking-friendly city. The breakfast buffet is ample, elegant, and affordable. And the staff might be the friendliest, most informative, and most accommodating of any hotel in which I’ve stayed. A bit pricey, but totally worth it. Highly recommend.
