10/10 Excellent
"Spotless room with all you could want- the towels and bedding was immaculate. The staff were very friendly and facilities were excellent. The pool, sauna and steam facilities were amazing.
The location of the hotel was perfect- quiet and within walking distance to all the sights.
We would recommend this to couples looking for all the trimmings- perfect! "
"Excellent breakfast with a wide range of high quality options. Staff extremely helpful. Beautiful bar area with very friendly staff. Hotel room was well decorated and very comfortable. It is quite a way from the City centre but Uber was very quick and cheap. The metro was also only a 10 minute walk away. The hotel had car parking so if coming by car would recommend this high quality hotel. Only minus was check out as it took 15 minutes in the queue. Perhaps you could have an express checkout for those with no bills to pay."
"The best part was the location. Walking distance from everywhere, right before the tunnel which is where the traffic begins. Will stay here again. Breakfast buffet pastries are great. Sometimes they have passion fruit. "
"Great central location to the Metro.
Staff was very helpful.
Breakfast is offered next door in a cafe which was convenient with vouchers.
Needed extra pillows, which they brought up."
"Great location, wife and i needed a retreat from the hussle and bussle of Porto and this provided it. Strongly believe its a great spot to relax with own tucked away pod, dark, and cool when needed with comfortable bed and amenities, but great common spaces, spa, pool, restruant and common area. Also very well situated in Porto. Highly highly recommend. "
