No Ac in rooms!! Although the description mentions ac included so this is totally a misleading. The staff always try to make excuses they say AC works only on summer time but we stayed at April when the temperatures are already 25 degrees, and windows cannot be open fully, only 20cm. Breakfast was decent, but opened at 7am although their info shows 6:30am and their excuse: “are you sure you go to the right place?” We are not stupid and there is only one restaurant. Overall we were very disappointed

This is a real value for money hotel. I was on the sixth floor and the room and bathroom were spotless, with the rooms serviced daily. The bed was really comfortable and there was no disturbance from traffic noise at night even though the metro line runs directly outside the hotel. Although admittedly I was at the back of the hotel which would be quiter in any case. The staff were welcoming, professional and extremely helpful with check-in and check-out being effortless. I had an issue with the room safe on arrival (my own fault) and a staff member was dispatched immediately to sort it out for me. My diet has to be gluten and dairy free and the hotel insured that there was gluten free bread for breakfast each morning. I dined in the restaurant on the first night and one of the waiting staff went to great lengths to advise me of what I could and could not eat from the buffet selection and failing there being sufficient choice for me there was always the a la carte menu. The standout feature for me however, is the location of this hotel. It's one minute walk from a metro stop and several bus stops - with connections to trains and the city centre itself only a couple of metro stops away. I wouldn't hesitate to book this hotel again; should I ever go back to Porto.

Our room was clean & quiet. The breakfast was good, though there were no free tables on our first morning - a party of 40 french tourists all wanted to eat at the same time so very busy & very noisy. They all left around the same time so the restaurant became much quieter. On our second day the environment was much more relaxed, quieter & much easy to find an unoccupied table.

Room was comfortable. The only issue was one couldn't control the temperature, even though there was a thermostat. Staff did their best to work in English. Breakfast was amazing with lots of choices. Parking was available, but a very steep and narrow access. Car front scraped on entry. Access to Metro was only 100 meters away, although very challenged to understand buying a card and what was available.

Excellent Hotel

The hotel was spotless. The staff bent over backwards to assist. The breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of choices. The servers that put the buffet out were wearing masks. Tables were cleared and cleaned quickly. The hotel is in an excellent position a minutes walk to train D. Joao II. The stop is also easy access by public transport to the main Sao Bento Station.

Quarto muito confortável, e limpeza excelente. Contudo, staff despreocupado, em nada focado em garantir que o cliente se sinta bem recebido. No check in, faltava um documento de identificação e disseram, na receção, que teria obrigatoriamente de o mostrar na próxima oportunidade. Ao mostrar o documento posteriormente, outro funcionário disse que não valia a pena, que não devia ter me incomodado e nao tirou os dados. No dia seguinte, ao ser pedido um ferro de engomar, responderam com zero simpatia e contrariados ofereceram o ferro implicando um limite de utilização e dizendo, de forma autoritária, que teria de o entregar imediatamente no mesmo sítio onde o fui buscar. No check out verificou se a mesma indiferença, ao entregar o cartão, recebi a despedida de 'é tudo, pode ir'. Pequeno almoço é só médio, muita opção mas a qualidade deixa a desejar. Ótima opção para estadias curtas, mas só se a tarifa estiver muito reduzida.
