The breakfast was amazing! It was included and we could order off the menu or eat from the beautiful buffet. The staff was friendly and very helpful and the views from our hotel room of Porto reached the river! We walked everywhere, so plenty of things to do within walking distance and felt very safe. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
