This was a nice hotel. The room was clean and staff was pleasent to deal with. There wasnt too much to do nearby but you could find a bunch of shops and restaurants about 10-15min walk in either direction. Only thing to point out was that our room was on the first floor and at the rear of the property, facing a back road so there was some intermittent noise issues. Overall a decent place to stay in Porto.

The staff are helpful and friendly, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. They even have a limited room service menu - a nice surprise in a hotel of this size. To me the location is ideal, but I visit Porto often. It’s quiet and there are nice restaurants within an easy walk (Ribeira is pretty but those HILLS). It’s also easy to get rideshare or taxis. The only minus, and this occurs a lot in Portugal, is that there is no sound insulation on the plumbing so you hear every flush in your stack. Minor. I would stay here again.
