Very cozy hotel next to the river, superb location with many bars and restaurants around

Baldev

A wonderful hotel! The rooms and the common areas are very tastefully decorated and make you feel very comfortable. The front desk staff are outstanding and very helpful. The location is great for tourists, right on the river and in the heart of the action.

Sameed

Lively riverfront near. Lots of options for nightlife. Easy access to the Port tasting area, via water taxi.

Hallie

United States of America

The location is excellent. You can walk out the door and right out to the riverfront, or down the alley to a number of restaurants and bars. The hotel is also a fairly easy downhill walk if you are coming from Sao Bento Station (but don’t even try hauling your luggage back up the hill when you leave. Call a cab). You can walk from this place to so much cool sightseeing and shopping. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was very tasty with savory and sweet options. The rooms are very nice, especially the bathrooms! Would recommend to anyone spending a few days in Porto

Brenden

United States of America

This hotel is located right next to the main plaza along the river running through Porto. The hotel is very modern but built into a stone building and close to a number of very fine restaurants. It is well run and the staff speak good English. The breakfast is outstanding for its variety and quality.

John

United States of America

Best location possible. Very helpful staff, with booking tours and making restaurant recommendations and reservations. Nice room with comfortable bed and spacious bathroom; excellent hot shower with strong pressure. Breakfast was fine, if not the finest. Delicious homemade jams paired perfectly with fresh mini croissants, good espresso/coffee machine.

Grace

United States of America

This is a very smart, well designed boutique hotel in the heart of Porto's waterfront area. Our room was a marvel of design, making incredible use of a long narrow space. The location is perfect for first time visitors to Porto. The staff was extremely helpful. Great breakfast. Being a stone's throw from a very busy tourist area, it can get noisy. But we were high enough up that there were no issues sleeping.

Lawrence

United States of America

The location is perfect for visiting the old side of Porto. Their breakfasts are to die for with a huge selection of dishes to choose from. The rooms are amazing and trendy as are the bathrooms. The staff are very helpful and professional and we would definitely stay here again when we visit Porto.

Leepylee

United States of America

The property was in a great location, barely a block away from the water front. The room was spacious and clean, the staff was friendly and tried to answer any questions we had. Breakfast had a lot of options and saved us money in an expensive area, however the selection of hot foods was sparse.

Porto's old town is full of crumbling pastel-colored houses. It's peaceful and relatively untouched – despite being designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it's still off most tourists' radars.

“Great stay - recommended.”

The only possible problem for some may be that the hotel is at the bottom of a steep hill and taxis can't always take you directly to the front door. If you have heavy suitcases or restricted mobility, this could be an issue.
I liked the location - really central right down by the river. The town is on your doorstep so bring the good walking shoes! Hotel receptionist was really helpful. I was there for work and it was ideal.

Not much to complain about but all guests should know beforehand that cars cannot access this hotel directly. You will get dropped off about a 2 minute walk away and if you have big luggage pieces you need to be prepared to drag them down/up a hill and over cobblestones to reach the property.

We ended up staying in a street-facing room. Due to the awesome location near the lively riverfront, we could hear lots of street/restaurant noise fairly late into the evening, even with the windows closed. If you’re and early-sleeper this may be an issue, but it’s not a reason to avoid this place.
