United States of AmericaGreat location right on the main square in Porto where you can catch hop on /hop off buses. Many cafes, stores right there. Parking garage was a short walk away. There was an stair lift to get up 26 stairs into the hotel which my husband needed to use. Elevator inside the hotel to get to upper floors. Rooms updated, nice bathroom. We didn't sign up for breakfast so cannot comment about that.
