- Great Location - Clean and comfortable - The bathroom was large and clean, and I love the fact there was a bidet - Nice rooftop bar area - The staff was nice and helpful

Sarah Canada

Great location for walking Porto! My room had a little Juliette balcony. It was clean and comfortable. Breakfast on the top floor terrace was lovely. Staff were attentive. Concierge told me I must see the most beautiful McDonalds in the world. He was right! if you visit Porto, don't miss it!

Carolyn United States of America

I would have rated hotel a 10, except that the hotel fell short in the breakfast area. The staff provide a very limited choice in the breakfast. For example, ham & cheese every day, and small canned vienna weiners alone do not appear to be good breakfast choices. Also, no hot or warm eggs, or bacon. On the positive side the rolls were excellent, so was the coffee. I also thought the rooftop tables added a very nice touch. I would recommend your hotel to fellow traveler as being a very good choice in value, cleanliness and professional helpful staff. I felt I got good value for my money. Nice job.

Pedro United States of America

Good location walking distance for few attraction. Rooms are very small and very plain, bed was comfortable. Good breakfast.
