The staff were super welcoming and helpful! The location is convenient to the metro to the airport, and close to the busy areas of Porto, with just enough distance to be quiet and relaxing. The room has a lovely balcony and (important for the summer!) great AC! Also, the breakfast spread is lovely with plenty of options beyond bread & jam -- fresh juice, fruit, pastries, yogurt, cereal, eggs, cold cuts, etc.

Excellent guest house close to city centre

We asked for a quiet room and were given a garden room which was very quiet. Hotel building is modern, stylish and clean. Marta on reception is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice. Our room was nice, wifi was good, bed comfy, shower good. It is in a great location to walk around Porto and to the river. We enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

Easy distance to the things to see in Porto

Outside of the old part of Porto, but walkable although it is really uphill from the river. The Metro was a short walk away, with a station on the south bank of the Douro. Marla, on the front desk, was very helpful with transit and restaurant recommendations.

Great value for money in the center of Porto

We booked a deluxe room, and loved the place: - Staff is incredibly friendly - Room was modern, clean and spacious - Daily breakfast is modest but has all you need, including fresh orange juice - Good location, 10 mins walk to city center We heard some of the other rooms weren’t as good, so I recommend paying a bit extra for the deluxe. Anyway, we had a fabulous time.

We stayed for nine days. We received a very warm welcome and were given lots of information about places to visit. The room we had was clean and comfortable. The breakfast provided was excellent and the staff were very attentive and friendy. We had a hire car and it was a relief to be able to park it somewhere safe & convenient. The hotel is a 40 minute walk to the main tourist attractions in Porto. Generally it is an excellent place to stay.
