Great location, Great view. The room was impeccably clean with maid service each day. Reception staff very helpful. Our aircon was leaking water but this was soon resolved.
The only reason they lost a star was the bed was a bit uncomfortable as it was 2 beds pushed together and if you happen to be nwar the joint, it dipped significantely.
Apart from that a really good stay and we would use again.

Very clean room, staff is very helpful and let us into our room early. The breakfast is pretty good, especially if you have to get to the airport early. It’s a great location down by the water. Also, even though you’re near all of the nighttime fun, it’s a very quiet room. You do have to walk about one block straight uphill when you are leaving the hotel to be able to be picked up by car. But it’s only one block and totally worth being near the water.

We loved the location of this hotel . Inquire about reserving an upper room that has a view of the bridge and the river ! You get the true feeling of the Porto experience and you are close to all the action ! Just be aware that there is no elevator but the climb up the stairs is well worth it . The breakfast was very good and the staff was friendly and polite . Take a taxi to get in and out of the area as Uber isn’t allowed down by the river . We would definitely stay here again !!

This hotel has the best location in Porto. As soon as you come out of Hotel, you are at Marina with all the actions. 20 steps to river cruise, restaurants and mysic. We had great view of Doura river from all three windows in our room. Bathroom is clean modern with good air Conditioning. Front Desk staff were the best I lost my phone in Taxi. They were able to track down the taxi I was in even when I did not have the taxi company name or record. I was able to get my phone back in three hours which is unbelievable. Best!

Location, Location, location!. You can't beat it if you want to stay by the river Ribeira area. You are literally stepping outside of the hotel into historical location with all the restaurants, music, river views and surrounding fun. I had a room on the sixth floor with perfect views of the bridge, water and all beautiful historical buildings. Room was small but clean, comfortable bed and nice large window that can be opened. AC in the room was working well, same with wifi, no issues. Area is safe with many food options to try. The only thing i missed is that room had no coffee machine, no tea or bottle water. Nothing was provided in the lobby either. Other hotel i stayed in Lusbon had very nice fresh water with fruits and coffee machine, it was very much appreciated. Overall i am happy with my stay there and would stay there again.

Great hotel in heart of busy port, with stunning view. Surprisingly quiet in the evening. Breakfast limited and not worth it.

Great location on the waterfront in the old town. Walk to all major sites and across the bridge to Vila da Nova Gaia. A lovely small hotel with six floors and only a few rooms per floor. The rooms are fine for two people, with a well-appointed bathroom, although the shower heads could be updated. The optional buffet breakfast, at 12€ per person, is nice but has limited options for the price. Staff is friendly, welcoming and helpful. Would recommend.

This hotel is in a great location if you want to take advantage of the waterfront, which for me was stunning. We also had incredible views from our room and with the windows open we still felt like we were a part of the city even in our hotel room. You’re also very close to a few of the main attractions such as palacio da Bolsa and the gold church, with most other major attractions being within a 15-20 minute walk.

One thing to note is that cars cannot access the street and it’s about a block downhill from the main road. This wasn’t a big deal but just something to know for when you are arriving/leaving with luggage or if you have a day tour.

Also, right outside the hotel is incredibly busy and packed with people a large portion of the day and at night it can be fairly loud, however, it seems like every night at 10 the singers outside would stop and things would quiet down so that was ideal.

The other thing was breakfast was a charged rate and to us didn’t look great so we just went to Cafe Ribeira near by every day for breakfast. Not a big deal but would have been convenient to eat at the hotel.

Lastly, compared to our Lisbon hotel there were some nice amenities we had gotten used to that this hotel didn’t seem to offer like free coffee/tea throughout the day and a place outside of your room to just sit and relax. These were all minor things but just what we noticed.

The rooms were great and the beds comfortable and we truly had nothing bad to really say!

Should be negative stars. Checked in and first thing I did was put property in safe. It made strange noise and would not reopen. Went to front desk and was told guy was at lunch and he would come to room in 30 minutes. We waited an hour, never came. During this time I realized that the room was in really bad shape. Went to front desk and she had key for safe the entire time but left us waiting. I advised that the room was unacceptable and the floor in front of the bathroom was rotted and would sink a couple inches when you walked on it. Not just one board but a large portion of the floor. This was further made unsafe because it was right in front of a glass fixed wall that led into the bathroom. It gave a very unsafe path to bathroom where someone could trip and go through glass. She said there was nothing she could do and no other rooms. Contacted Expedia who contacted the hotel and they were still unwilling to refund us or give us another room. They told Expedia there were no issues with the floor and offered an alternative room. Not True. I have photos and videos that reflects room that I will try to post. Room was bad to the level we found another hotel and were willing to risk paying for two rooms. I imagine they rented to someone else and double collected for 2 days. They also advertised as river view which is really a view of the buildings across the street with a small view of river if you look at angle. Porto is beautiful city - not this hotel!
