Helpful staff at the reception desk. You can pick parking in the hotel for 10€ or they have deal with other place 6€/24h

Jagoda, Poland

It's a rather tired nice hotel, they've maintained the main areas and the staff were nice but the room was tiny, poorly decorated and very worn out

Helen, United Kingdom

Great location at the top of the hill that begins your exploration of the city.

Susan, United States of America

The hotel is well decorated (if slightly garish) and conveniently located on a main street (pedestrian access only). The breakfast options were decent (unless you like cereal, then you'd be disappointed).

Cam, United Kingdom

Breakfast buffet was excellent. Great variety of food.

Elena, Australia

Very good location in the centre of a busy shopping and dining area. Despite this as soon as you enter the hotel it's very tranquil and cool with old world style and charm

Paul, United Kingdom

Lovely hotel that lives up to its name; beautiful lounge & breakfast room, very pleasant & helpful staff, excellent location.

Julia, United Kingdom

Beautiful building and great location. Very clean.

Yolanda, United Kingdom

We enjoyed the sumptuous public rooms, the helpfulness of the staff and our bathroom in particular. The location was good, as the rua de Santa Caterina is traffic free and has many shops, restaurants and cafes. We enjoyed our dinners in the restaurant.

“Overpriced. Porto has far better for far less.”

눉Travelling with carry-on only, I was more than happy to take it to the room myself (on the same floor as, and scarcely a 20m walk from, the front desk). That was not to be. The staff at the desk insisted the porter would bring the bag to me, never mind that I wanted things in it, and that it was *right there*. And so I waited. For 20 minutes. Until I went to get the bag myself, at which point the porter wouldn't hand it over, and insisted on walking up the corridor with me, coming into the room, and putting it on the suitcase stand. There's service, then there's stupidity and inconvenience. Two of the pillow cases on the bed were dirty (not just used, there was visible dirt). The bathrooms are dated and not enormously functional. The shower plug was blocked, and the shower was enclosed by a cheap and dysfunctional shower curtain. The room itself was a bizarre split floor room. On the lower level was the bathroom, a sofa and wardrobe. On the upper level was the bed. As a result the room was very spacious (because the ceiling is double height for 60% of the floor space) but not in a particularly useful way. The ceiling and walls were thin. From early morning (~6 am) I could hear people moving about on the level above, and pipes in the walls (including immediately behind th bedhead) ran all night. Rooms 1-7 run along the corridor to the breakfast room, and so from 7am there's noise from people making their way to breakfast, too. I reserved the day of my stay at a discounted rate (or so Booking.com would have me believe, but I'd be surprised if this place ever sold at its standard rates). At that discounted rate I was disappointed. Had I paid the rack-rate, I would be livid. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless you're paying ~€110 > for a standard room. Anything more than that and there are far better options out there.
눇The hotel is well decorated (if slightly garish) and conveniently located on a main street (pedestrian access only). The breakfast options were decent (unless you like cereal, then you'd be disappointed).
