Santar Vacations

Fabulous stay, we stayed there last year too.

Wonderful, helpful staff! The hotel is perfect and centrally located. I look forward to staying again!

It was a great hotel! Very unique. Staff was always helpful and nice! I would recommend the hotel in a heartbeat

Great location. Except for the fact there is a massive building project on the adjoining wall. It would have been nice to know that before booking. As at 0800 the Roto Hammer’s start a massive concert is n jackhammering noises. And this project will be ongoing for some time. If this would have been known before hand? I wouldn’t have booked. As I spent a lifetime in construction and wanted to leave the noise behind me. In affection, the A/c is more of a suggestion as it wouldn’t cool the room off as it should. I also ended up having to empty the water collection for the a/c 3 times. If not? There would have been gallons of water spilled on the floor. This was not disclosed about having to preform preventative maintenance. Check in? Was after 1500, not by much, but then they are strict about Che k out time they should be as strict about check in time. For the price? The value just wasn’t there.

I had made two separate bookings next to each other because I didn't plan my stay in Porto properly and the staff made sure to keep us in 1 room for the entire stay which was nice. The breakfast was great as there were coffee machines to serve yourself and a decent amount of variety. What I appreciated is that the kitchen staff still made food even towards the end of breakfast so if you woke up late you weren't just getting scraps. The rooms were pretty decent, although the pictures are not entirely accurate of what you're getting. They're still nice, but it was a bit of a shock to us to walk into a room that didn't look like the pictures and had a kitchenette. What was a bit confusing is that we had a kitchenette without any plates or utensils. I guess maybe to prevent guests from stealing them, but was a bit weird. The hotel itself was quite clean and I loved our view of Duoro river from our room. Would definitely recommend this place to stay.
