The hotel had amazing service and was in a perfect central location. Also the breakfast buffet offered is worth it and amazing! Loved the service that the staff provided for an enjoyable girls trip especially the connecting rooms and egg tarts offered to us in our rooms!
United States of AmericaThe hotel is located in the heart of magical Porto with all the important streets and sites within walking distance. The staff are extremely welcoming, in particular Hugo. There is major construction in front of the hotel, which resulted in diverting the entrance, but we didn’t hear any noise and it didn’t affect our stay. The hotel room was spacious and comfortable and had all the amenities.
BahrainThe location is great! Right in the center of all of the tourist sights. The concierge was VERY helpful with directions to sights, explaining what to see, and helping us book train tickets to Lisbon.
United KingdomThe location of the hotel was on point as it is located around the main square, however there is major construction taking place as they are working on connecting an underground transportation station. The noise level was better than expected. The room was very clean and a good size! The staff was very friendly! They were helpful in giving us recommendations for good local places to go, as well as, giving us directions. They happily greeted us at every coming and going.
United States of AmericaThis 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.
United States of AmericaOne of the nicest hotels we've stayed in during our trip in Europe. Beautiful room, well appointed, and the most comfortable bed.
