Possibly the best and nice stay at a hotel. There was lots of food for breakfast, including cheese, bread, yoghourt and croissants. Its staff was polite and pleasant. The venue was set in a very central area near metro and train and Sao Bento train station and the center of Porto.

Nothing too much trouble, I had a fantastic stay and would come here again. Coffee and breads for breakfast, nice touch. I got free upgrade and thoroughly enjoyed it. Early check-in too. Furthermore, parking nearby was a bonus. Location was comfortable, 20 km to Francisco Sa Carneiro airport, perfectly reachable.
