Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The rooms were not only clean and comfortable but also spacious and well-appointed. The service was top-notch, with incredibly helpful and friendly staff. The location, though not in the city center, was near some great attractions. The dining was good but could use more variety. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms and professional service. The location is quiet but convenient for exploring Porto, although not ideal due to nearby construction. Dining is lovely but a bit pricey. Overall, it's a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The room was very clean and spacious with all the facilities you need, although the WiFi was a bit lacking. The receptionist and staff were quietly attentive and friendly, making my experience welcoming. The location, although a bit outside Porto's center, is safe and near public transportation. The dining experience, included in my rate, was nice with a good choice. The facilities overall were great, offering a comfortable and convenient stay.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious with plenty of room for luggage but the breakfast was served in the room, which was a plus. However, there were some issues with the cleanliness of the carpets, windows, and in-and-out of the room. The location was quiet but not what I expected. The service was helpful and accommodating, especially compared to other hotels. The dining was lovely with a good selection, and the facilities were well promoted on the site.
My stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The room was spacious, clean, and provided a comfortable stay, although there were some minor issues.
