"Excellent "

"This hotel is a hidden gem! Carlos at the front desk provided amazing hospitality, greeting with a smile, always eager to assist and will made by stay the best! The entire staff are professional, the location is great and the breakfast is one of the best. I also had dinner there and it was very good, my only complaint was the service in the kitchen was extremely slow. I was the only one there when I put my dinner in and it took 30 mins just to get bread basket and another 25 minutes for my meal. The waiter was very good so I know it wasn’t him, it was the kitchen. Dinner was cooked perfectly and the portion size was great. I can’t say enough good things about this hotel. I really love the bath products. It is my favorite so far out of the 4 I stayed in Portugal and one of the top 2 favorite hotels in all of Europe during my travels. Thank you for making my stay so enjoyable❣️ I can’t wait to return!"

"Breakfast area needs some help. Overly crowded and I cannot say the service was good either since they did not get any of my family member's order right. The roof top restaurant was esp slow. One time, our order took more than an hr and by the time we got food, it was already too cold to eat. Overall, the room did not match the picture, service wasn’t good and breakfast was disappointing. However, the view from the hotel lobby was incredible. "

"Very modern room. 2 bathrooms was a big plus with kids "

"Very disappointing stay — we ended up checking out three days earlier than originally planned. The facilities are clearly outdated. The shower is built into a bathtub with only a curtain, which feels inconvenient and not in line with what you would expect at this price point. The air conditioning also performed poorly — even in April, the room was warmer than the outside temperature. For guests traveling with dogs, there is an additional €10 per night fee, and pets cannot be left alone in the room for more than one hour. This restriction is quite limiting and not clearly justified. The biggest drawback, however, is the location. The hotel is in Vila Nova de Gaia, which requires at least 20–25 minutes of driving to reach the main attractions in Porto, often with heavy traffic. While public transport is available, we eventually moved to a centrally located hotel where everything was within walking distance — a significantly better experience. Additionally, we found that the water boiler in the room was leaking. This was reported to the hotel, but no action was taken to repair or replace it during our stay. Ultimately, we chose to forfeit three nights of our booking rather than continue staying under these conditions, which reflects how unsatisfactory the experience was."

"Wonderful staff, great location"
