Lovely hotel

Lovely hotel! Excellent service, everyone was very friendly. Only a short 30 minute walk to the centre of town. The hotel has a lot of charm and was very clean and in a quiet area. Highly recommended!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It’s a family owned hotel & their attention to detail & providing good service to their guests is evident. Unlike many of the newer, more modern hotels, the rooms are spacious & very comfortable. The biggest appeal to me is that the hotel isn’t located in the heart of the tourist area.

Great Place to stay!

I was in Porto by myself, very good hotel for the price and service. They were so kind to help with parking my rental car in the garage since it could be tricky for some people. I also forgot my toothbrush and they were so nice to help me out with that too. Close to city centre and subway!

Area might not be the best (although metro is close and it's about 20 minutes walking to reach the center, no big deal). Good service and 0 complaints.
