This is a lovely quiet little hotel on the River Douro. The rooms were comfortable and the hotel restaurant is incredible, both for the breakfast buffet and the dinner options. The rooms are not large, but the balconies open up the rooms quite a bit. The rates were excellent. My only real complaint is that it is not with walking distance of anything, and guests will need to use a taxi or car service to get into Porto proper.

And old converted perfume, candle and soap factory with totally unique front desk area featuring old products and things made to produce those, with great views of the river (and many rooms with those). Great price. Probably need a taxi etc to get to town

Very very nice property - a short Uber from the Ribeira area, and totally walkable in 1/2 hour or so if you need to stretch your legs. Superb staff at reception, in the restaurant, and bellman. Very good value for money, especially in November.
