Our Studio suite was huge and very clean and the location was great within walkable distance to all the museums and attractions and far enough away from the large crowds by the river.
There was a nice patio area in front of the hotel with 6 different restaurants to dine at including a lovely bakery. Staff were accommodating and pleasant. Great spot.

Very easy to find along the 207 bus route, several places to eat, or get a tasty treat. Close to several places of interest, the room was spacious and well kept.

Nice apartments, great location.
The layout of this "hotel" is a bit strange, as the reception and the dining/breakfast room are in one building and the apartments (because it's apartments and not just single rooms) are in the building next door. The location is very good, a stone's throw from Clerigos and right beside a large selection of bars and restaurants. Well worth a look if you are looking for a nice base to discover Porto from. Is not the most "central" from a tourist point of view, but are a lot of things around that you might not see otherwise.

Not sure if this was a rentable unit. Fridge did not work, shelf in shower hanging and the holes above it you can see it had fallen before, no tv in living room even with the wires coming out the wall, remote for tv in bedroom did not work, linen were starched to hell and were stained as well as the towels thang god I travel with my own and last of all hair on the floor (I’m Bald). With all that the location is great, it had an elevator. The wine bar across the street was fantastic! Oh wifi sucked!
