Everything was great, from the facilities till the breakfast, but what i liked the most was the hospitality of the staff! Thanks a lot Andrea and her colleagues at the front desk for such a welcoming reception and for all your help.

Lionel Netherlands

a big modern hotel just outside Porto downtown. high rise building, so most rooms have a great view on the city or on the surrounding areas. the swimming pool, located at the top floor, which has a spectacular view on the city

Riccardo Italy

the food was very good, the beds were very comfortable and the room was quiet

M United States of America

The rooms are big, the biggest we got in our trip around Europe.

Alejandra Ecuador

At first we got the family room, which was like a dungeon. Absolutely horrible. Tiny, dark and not what we were expecting. After complaining to the management, we were upgraded for literally 30 Euros more to an amazing wrap around balcony room that was beyond words - almost like a penthouse. This room made our whole stay fantastic. With views of all of Porto, we were just blown away. Kudos to the staff for stepping up and providing this alternative. Breakfast buffet is beyond fantastic. Pool and sauna is wonderful. Pool is as pictured with hardly any people there. Many metro stations around so you can easily travel to the center.

Beatrice United States of America
