Small quaint boutique hotel tucked away in a more touristy area. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very nice with fresh fruit, freshly made eggs your style. Room was well appointed and clean. We were on the fourth floor with cool skylights in bathroom and bedroom. Overall a lovely stay and would highly recommend. Location was convenient and within walking distance of many city sites and places to eat.

Beautiful boutique hotel tucked away, 2 minutes walk from the river. Front desk staff were amazing, professional and friendly - always willing to answer questions and offer advice to make our trip more special. Breakfast was fabulous and quiet. Great selection of both continental and hot foods and the fresh omelettes were so tasty!! A lovely way to start the day! Location perfect for exploring the entire city. Also close (less than 5 minutes walk) to a small supermarket for bottled water. Second floor room was quiet, large, comfortable and super clean with great amenities. We received a beautiful personalized note and small gift in acknowledgment of our 20th wedding anniversary. Thank you to the team at Descobertas, we are grateful we chose such a fabulous hotel!!

Very well situated hotel, good restaurant near by. Staff friendly and helpful if you have questions. Lovely selection for breakfast, could do with a jug of cold milk though for cereal instead ofveach morning having to ask for it. One young female member of reception gets a very confused though as when giving room number items requested got delivered to another room even though checked room no. 4 times and we never received the request and transfer for going to airport was booked at incorrect time by same member of reception, turned up way too early for us and woke us up! Was re arrange for correct time though later that day. I would go back to this hotel if I come back to Porto in the future

We booked a family room, it was great- spacious, clean and everything we needed for our 3 night stay near the river. The location is great- just off the main straight of the river and perfect for exploring Porto. The staff were very friendly, we had a welcome glass of port on arrival and they were always on hand if we needed anything!
