    Breakfast was ok, but ended at 9:30, which i would prefer to be a bit latter, especially on a sunday.

    breakfast was horrendous, cafe pink down the road has very nice coffee and cakes- shops in the area close very early as it’s the rural part of Porto so make sure to buy snacks or dinner before sundown getting an Uber or bolt is a bit difficult however hotel can arrange and taxi but it may be very expensive

    the room was spacious and comfortable for two people, bathroom was clean and tidy, staff were helpful despite the language barrier they tried their best there’s a supermarket down the road called internarche Santander is 5 mins walk away make sure to take your own toiletries, hotel provides soap bars and a 2 in 1 shampoo and body wash (no moisturiser)

    Hotel isn't ready yet. Rooms had lovely potential but need updating and maintenance. Hotel couldn't accept non-Portuguese credit or debit cards, so we couldn't even buy drinks or dinner, so we only stayed one night and cancelled the next nights stay. Also, the bed was like a board! Didn't see the spa facilities, so can't comment on that. Really nice staff though!

    Staff were excellent. Friendly and wanted to help.

    The room is old. The pillows are bad quality. The bathroom is very old. Bottle with shower gel was empty. Free wifi didnt get to the room on 2 floor and even mobile internet worked only with 3G.

    The place is very quite. The room was clean, the staff were helpful. We missed the breakfast, but got it anyway.

    wonderful location, Great place to stay if you're looking for a couple of relaxing days. The rooms are very spacious and quiet. The bed is quite comfortable and the cleanliness of the room is up to expectations. The restaurant of the hotel has a great menu with local dishes prepared for you. The staff is very nice and always available to help. I have to highlight the spa, great pool and fantastic massages. Highly recommended!

    I must admit I have been here a couple of times now, and wasn't hugely impressed. The spa piscina is very good and extremely well priced. Be aware the different Jacuzzis and various other jets are on a timer system but you soon get used to it. Today I went and it was the best visit I have had. The staff were all extremely helpful, kind and went over and above to accommodate my Fibromyalgia symptoms (considering its an invisible disease) the facilities are very clean, disability friendly and they have extremely good Covid measures in place to keep everyone safe. So to recap good price, excellent therapy pool. I will provide pictures soon. Thank you to all the staff on site today you all helped me more than you'll ever know 🙏😘💯

    check in- big queue of group of about 30 folk ahead of me....and only one person on desk. Wi fi was really bad.

    Thia is a proper old style thermas- which I like- the thermal pool is good for this kind of small town thermal bath, lots of jets and a really high suplhur content- but was overun with kids on first day , so noisy, and can get very busy. Turkish and Suana were out of order. Treatments are expensive- massage £40 plus had to pay for use of pool on top-£20 but the Vichy massage was very good indeed. The rooms are a bit stuffy and drab. Staff not often to be seen.... worth it if you are a thermas freak, like me-it; worth a day visit, but if you are after top notch spa and hotel, not for you.

    Just outside the doors of the hotel reception are some Roman ruins of the bathhouse found there. The same spring waters are now being used for the current health spa. The hotel is not as old as these springs, it just looks it. The lifts are slow and creaky, the steps to the basement (where the spa is) are crumbling under your feet. There is nowhere to iron any clothes. The staff do not know how to operate their own tills, or their espresso machine. Breakfast is a terrifying thing with croissants that may have once been served to the ancient romans and thinly sliced soft spam. Service from Uber or Bolt is non existent, expect a local taxi to cost about 30% more. On the bright side, the showers are great. This hotel is a cultural phenomenon - the staff were friendly - when you could find them - but they were the icing on a somewhat stale cake.

    The rooms were clean. The staff tried.
