The first room had a broken window that wouldn’t close and it’s loud outside. They moved us rooms to their credit which was essentially the same exact room which was fine. The absolute most annoying thing is the way they do the HVAC it was 25c/80f almost every single night. Miserable and the only way to get them to change it was to call down and they manually changed it and it only lasted a few hours. The location is fine close to the river and felt safe but it was just mediocre otherwise. Never ate the food here. The rooms felt stale and dusty. It was very apparent when we got to our next hotel how much cleaner and just in general the air quality. We all thought we were getting sick but immediately felt better once we changed hotels. I would not recommmend this place to anyone unless they were planning to party the entire time and not be in the room much at all.

We booked a family room, it was great- spacious, clean and everything we needed for our 3 night stay near the river. The location is great- just off the main straight of the river and perfect for exploring Porto. The staff were very friendly, we had a welcome glass of port on arrival and they were always on hand if we needed anything!

Clean room, friendly staff and great location. Hotel is on a limited access road so only real Taxis are allowed to enter to the front of the hotel. If not you must walk your bags down a pretty inclined street to the property.

Lovely quirky boutique hotel right by the River Doura and in the middle of all of the restaurants and liveliness that area holds. Good continental breakfast included. Short walk via the lower bridge to visit Gaia and the wine cellars on the opposite side of the river. Perfect spot for our 5 day trip. Only drawback was lack of view from our room and some noise from the hotel and restaurants below.

Really like this hotel and the staff are great. Room is lovely. Only issue is driving during the busy summer season in Porto is brutal and finding parking was challenging. If you are without a car, this place is perfect, on a walking street by all attractions and tons of restaurants. But hotel is fantastic
