Everyone was extremely helpful- Rui at the front desk knew we’d only be there 1 night and even drew out a route for us to take on a map to maximize our site seeing while there!

The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel was neat and tidy with marble floor and stairs. The breakfast was tasty and had a varied spread of food. The hotel was an easy downhill walk into the main area of downtown Porto.

Showers not great in terms of water spills over to the floor quite easily.
I liked the location in terms of handiness, centre is about a 15 minute walk away. Easy to get to from Trinidade station which is a stop the airport metro runs to. Handy to cafes/restaurants and a very good F.C. Porto store near for some gifts and accessories.

there is an unusual water system - I kept having to get up in the middle of the night to shut down the water to the cistern of the toilet. It sounded like there was a waterfall in the room at times. We could hear the same in the room above. I’m sure there is a technique or process but it would be helpful to have some instruction for those travellers who are not familiar with this.
Good value, clean, comfortable hotel

The hotel was really near to the Metro line D, which is very well communicated with the centre of the city. Both the room and the bath were very clean, and I felt very comfortable (I was better than in my own house, really). The receptionists were really kind, and they spoke a lot of languages.
