The hotel is located only 5 minutes from the city center. You can reach the main city attractions by foot (about 10 minutes). The room is very big, clean, comfortable. Bathroom very clean and the shower so big. The hotel is located in a street with no noise, so you can sleep really good. Staff is so kind, nice. WIFI perfect without any issue. I have not used breakfast so I cannot tell anything about that.

The room was clean and very spacious.

the roof top terrace was pretty wrecked. The furniture was not usuable at all.

We were driving and wanted a hotel with parking in the building, easily accessible when arriving from Lisbon and within walking distance from the town center. This one met all these requirements and in less than 10 minutes we could walk along the antiquarian's street to Rua da Cedofeita. Going back to the highway was similarly easy, avoiding the queues in the streets of Central Porto I am sick and tired of hotels who state they have own parking and then direct us to some public parking nearby. This one has its own reasonably large parking in the basement, with direct lift access and for a fair price. Breakfast very good indeed.

Well, of course if it was somewhat cheaper or a few hundred yards up the same street, and therefore nearer the center, it would have been better, but neither can we ask for a Lexus at the price of a Trabant! Having said that, we cannot really point to anything negative.

I had stayed in this hotel before (it is a good sign that I returned) and the hotel again met my expectations. It has a good garage for the car and the access when arriving to Porto through the Arrabida Bridge is straightforward. Exiting the town through the same bridge is also straightforward. It is not very near the old center but you can walk to Rua da Cedofeita (where you have pastry shops and a supermarket) in about 10 minutes and to Avenida dos Aliados in less than 30 minutes, so it is not prohibitively far. The Boavista circus is also relatively near. There are several antiques shops in the street and a few not particularly exciting restaurants nearby. Room was large with a veranda and the Daikin air conditioning was fully adjustable once I understood the ways of the beautiful but mystifying control. Price was OK, particularly when compared to the silly prices of some 2 and 3-star hotels nearer Avenida dos Aliados. Breakfast is very good.

Thank God, nothing to say here.

This hotel is excellent. It’s modern and has wonderful decor, with all the necessary facilities for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I particularly appreciated the quiet room and black-out curtains which are often missing from other hotels. This helped me to sleep really well. It was spotlessly clean. The staff were friendly and happy to help with our requests. The breakfast was good. It’s close enough to the centre and Ubers are a very reasonable cost, taking only 10 minutes to reach the main areas of central Porto. I would book this hotel again on my return to Porto, and also recommend it to others.

This place was clean, the staff was super friendly and they were able to accommodate me at a last minute notice. I even canceled a booking there and they have a no cancel policy and they worked with me on it and I just ended up booking it anyway. The fact that they were willing to go that extra mile meant a lot to me.

The only thing I didn't care for was the location. It's not super far from stuff but you do have to walk to see anything interesting. So it's not terrible but it's the thing where taking an Uber or a taxi isn't practical and everything is just far enough away to where it's like a 15 to 20 minute walk depending on where you're going.

Very clean and stylish, staff were really friendly and helpful. Good location and in a safe area, appreciated the 24/7 reception.

The fan in the bathroom didn’t work and the room steamed up after each shower, would be really useful to fix this as the AC ventilation system was good in the bedroom but didn’t help the steam clear in the bathroom. We also had an issue with the bathroom light that it sometimes would only turn on if the main bedroom light was on which didn’t help in the night.

Superbly built hotel with modern decor Recent refurbishment to perfection Incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming staff Spacious and well-designed rooms Excellent amenities in the room Generously sized shower Impeccable daily cleaning service Convenient location near Crystal Palace Park, Cedofeita Road, and the river Francisco's warm and insightful welcome Overall top-notch stay experience Shower and bathroom are spotless and nearly new

The outdoor terrace at the top lacks a real bar or jacuzzi Dining area could be tidier and cleaned more regularly Thin walls leading to noise disturbance from neighboring rooms

I would like to say the staff were amazing at the hotel. It was absolutely spotless and the power shower was just as it should be, a power shower. The bathrooms were very modern and had plenty of room in them. Every day our rooms were cleaned and sheets changed regularly. We were met by the Manager Francisco, who was so obliging, friendly and so courteous and nothing was an issue. We wanted more hangers, which he provided, we asked for a room together as there were 4 of us, which he obliged. Our package included breakfast which was fab and fresh and anything we asked wasn’t a problem. The girls serving breakfast and our cocktails at night, were so polite and friendly. We had a great time and would highly recommend staying here. All the staff treated us like friends and nothing was a problem. We were really sad to leave and will definitely return without doubt.

Absolutely nothing

This hotel deserves even more than 5 stars! My parents stayed in this amazing hotel during their visit to Oporto! The hotel is outstanding in every aspect! The staff members were super friendly, attentive and kind with my parents, and I am very sure with every guest as well. The hotel is modern and beautiful, and the room was wonderful: pretty, clean, spacious, and super comfortable bed! Finally, the hotel is very well located in a quite area, at only 10 minutes away by foot from the touristic area. We would definitely book again in this hotel for future visits! Highly recommended!

Everything was exceptional!
