Very nice rooms. Friendly staff, awesome breakfast buffet but a bit pricey. Everything great except location a bit far and inconvenient. Would definitely stay there again.

If you are a VIP member, avoid staying here. Spoke to two different staff…they couldn’t even offer a coffee as an apology…they don’t know about hospitality. Won’t go back to this property

Good hotel but check for the little things
It was a good hotel, comfort, it is just that it costs more than average, at least put in the room coffee, how come in a 4 star hotel they is no coffee /hot water. Also as written before, all hotels that parking costs money, mention it in the description, but here they say parking and nothing regarding 15euro fee.

I booked this hotel to be close to family that was visiting. Very nice place to stay. Staff was helpful and frinedly. Asking a few questions I received some great recommendtions of places and areas to go. All was within walking distance. In Porto i would covern 8-12 miles a day easily. Always felt safe. Breakfast was a great start to the day. The bed was comfortable. bathroom very nice. small gym filled the purpose.
