Guest Ratings & Reviews
As soon as I stepped into my extra large twin room, I was impressed by how spotlessly clean and tidy it was. The room was spacious and had a calming blue decor, perfectly complemented by a fantastic view. The highlight was definitely the enormous bed and the luxurious bath.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were fantastic, especially with the two baths in the actual bedroom, making them super clean and comfortable. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff like Ricardo. The location was excellent, and the dining experience was great with plenty of delicious choices. Overall, a wonderful experience with great value for money.
My stay at the hotel was exceptional. The rooms were spacious with a lovely bathroom and the breakfast spread was simply delightful. However, the dinner options were limited. The service from the receptionist to the restaurant staff was top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable. The location, though quiet, was a bit underwhelming compared to expectations. The dining experience was fantastic, but the options were limited. Overall, a great value for such a pleasant stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-great moments. The location was convenient, although not the best, as it was slightly out of the center but close to transportation. The rooms were a bit small, but the large balcony was a nice touch. The service was friendly and helpful overall, although there was a slight hiccup on the arrival day. The dining experience had its highs and lows. The facilities were decent, with some room for improvement.
The hotel is conveniently located near the center of Porto and boasts a quiet and safe surrounding area. The rooms were a bit noisy due to traffic, and we were disappointed to find a wet floor upon arrival. The service was exceptional, with helpful and professional staff always ready to assist. The dining experience offered a buffet with some lukewarm food and lacked variety. Despite these setbacks, the hotel's pricing was fair and provided excellent value for money.
