This is a beautiful, comfortable hotel in a great location. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was large, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was very nice and large. The shower had plenty of hot water and water pressure. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast and restaurant at dinner. Although the construction out front was unfortunate and just a bit inconvenient, it did not dampen our enjoyment of the hotel itself or our visit to Porto. Even though our room overlooked the square and construction, the noice never bothered us since we were always up by the time the construction started anyway. We have no regrets over choosing this hotel and we would definitely stay here again.
