Anreade Holidays

Spent a week here with the family in two rooms, one twin, one double. This is a very small hotel with about 16 rooms, a tiny reception and an adjoining restaurant. That was quite upscale (€16 per head for breakfast) so we didn’t try it. The hotel checked all the important boxes: - clean and safe - comfortable bed with usable pillows - quiet (for being so central) - friendly, helpful reception staff - the small pool was a really nice extra. Both our rooms had small kitchenettes which turned out to be a really useful bonus as it allowed us to make our own breakfasts. Equipped with not much more than a small hob, a microwave, fridge, Nespresso coffee maker, and minimal cutlery and crockery. It turned out to have everything we needed except a kitchen knife. Negotiating the loan of one from the adjoining restaurant was a bit more difficult than it needed to be IMO and took the edge off otherwise friendly and helpful service. The location, right on the river and within easy walking distance of the center, is absolutely excellent.

Staff was very helpful

Great location, immediately in front of Aliados Station. Friendly hotel concierge, bar and restaurant staff. Recommendation #1: hotel room with trapezoidal layout is best suited for a couple with one king bed rather than two family members with two separate twin beds. Recommendation #2: ensure housekeeping staff can at least communicate in basic English to avoid language barrier with hotel guests.

Excellent property and location

We had an overall great stay at this hotel. Centrally located with lots of restaurants and shops near by. My wife and I would definitely come back to this hotel next time we go back to Porto.
