We liked our 2 nights stay. The location was top, around 10-15 minutes walk from Cordoaria's Garden. The staff was excellent, amiable all the time.

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.

Our stay here was lovely, excellent base for exploring Porto. We appreciated the cigar bar. The views from our twin bedroom were marvellous.

A super quiet hotel in Porto. Ideal location, adequate breakfast with plenty of food. The bed was soft, and the room was more than clean. We had a quite good tower view.
