Not value for money

Declining hotel. Very clear it is a hotel that needs renovation. Not a 3 star hotel and not value for money. On good thing is that it is clean and the location by the sea. Could be the best boutique hotel in Porto, but needs investments. And bring you own ion for your shorts. The hotel do not offer this . So bring a streamer og ion if you want a nice short or dress.

Not recommended. Noisy place - worn out rooms.

Worn out hotel with rooms ready for renovation. Was given 2 rooms next to neighbouring building that is being renovated - NOISY - hammering, knocking, machines loud starting at 6:45 in the morning. WORSE - hotel staff did not care only saying they could not do anything. NOT offering another room or giving any compensation for this very inconvenient premises. Price for rooms compared to standard, service and neighbouring conditions - NOT WORHT THE MONEY.

Das Hotel ist schön gelegen aber bei offenem Fenster hört man die vielbefahrene Strasse. Das Zimmer war klein, etwas altmodisch eingerichtet und hellhörig. Das Bett war nicht so bequem aber alles war sauber und es gibt alles was man braucht. Der Föhn mit Wandhalterung wird nach etwas längerem Gebrauch heiss. Das Frühstück ist gut und genügend aber der Kaffee ist schlecht.

Great property if you want easy access to the waterfront along the Douro River. The path is great for jogging or just walking. Friendly and helpful hotel staff who actually gave us his personal Ibuprofen when we asked where to get some. Unfortunately, we were feeling a little under the weather so did not venture out too much, but we did enjoy the tremendous rooftop views of the river while enjoying some food and great wine. The breakfast that came with the room was fantastic. Parking was available but you do need to ask which spaces are good and which are bad. We got a small fine for parking in the wrong spot at one point. All in all, we enjoyed the hotel and would stay here again.

Wonderful location, easy to walk to restaurants etc. great views from Roof top Bar area. More care needs to be taken with signage in public spaces as floors have uneven surfaces and drop offs with no warning. I had a nasty fall on a wet marble floor…..no signage and still bruised badly and suffering with body pain and wounds. Staff were helpful and considerate but this should not happen.
