Precisa de obras para ficar a valer as 4 estrelas, maioria das divisões estão velhas, carpetes dos quartos são velhas e pequeno almoço fraquinho, para o preço por noite, fica caro comparar o preço com a qualidade. Chão muito velho a volta da piscina e perigoso. De resto tem potencial para 5 estrelas com algum investimento , staff muito amável e prestável.

We had to get our own pillows from the closet since the bed was not prep-ed. I will never stay here again. This hotel doesn’t deserve to be 4stars.

Hotel on the hill

The room had two single beds and a second double bed in an adjacent room. The single beds are perfect, really comfortable.

There is a lovely view of the river and bridge from the room but no balcony and the window doesn't open which was disappointing.

The bathroom was clean and had a powerful shower with toiletries, towels and water provided, and there was a fridge in the room.

Breakfast is buffet style and large and highly recommended.

The gym is small but good, but the pool requires you to but a swimming cap for 5 euros which is a big extra price for a free to use facility. They should hire them for free if required!

The negatives:
Our room had a lot of stains on the carpet throughout the room.
The hallway leading to the room is really uneven which bulges throughout the carpet.
There is no stairs to the reception only a very small, very hot and slow lift.

A room 2 down from ours was playing really loud music after midnight so I complained to reception who were apologetic but didn't seem to do anything about it.

Ps the hotel is up a large hill so some people may struggle to enter if walking.

We spent three nights here and found the staff to be extremely attentive and were of great help when arranging a visit to the Douro wine region. Although in need of an update, our room was clean and large with a comfortable bed and a beautiful view of the river. My beside light did not work but when I reported this to the front desk it was fixed by that afternoon. The spa facilities, pool and sauna were great - just note that bathing cap is required, available at the spa desk for 5€. The common areas of the hotel were inviting and breakfast was ample and served in a dining room overlooking the river. We loved the light smell of eucalyptus and the relaxing soft music playing throughout the hotel hallways. The hotel is situated across the river from Vila de Conde which has many shops and cafes. We also discovered the stunning beaches here with interesting rock outcrops and plenty of places to sit and be mesmerized by the waves. It is also very close to Porto (accessible by train or car) and also to the Porto Fashion Outlet Mall. We would stay here again.

Previous reviews set expectations - thankfully!

I can see how this USED to be a 4 star hotel. Had it not been for reading the other reviews prior to going I think I'd have been very disappointed, however having had my expectations set we were able to enjoy our stay and found some positives! The swimming pool is really nice, gym looked ok, and if you're ok with walking up/down a bit of a hill the location is pretty decent too. The town centre with lots a great restaurants, and the Metro are just a 10 min walk away. We also had a nice size room.
In terms of the quality of the hotel though, it desperately needs some money spending on it! It could be a great hotel (again?) if only some money was invested in it, and some time was invested in the service (although most staff were helpful and friendly).
It seems such a waste that this hotel is just being left to age ... and as a result seems overpriced.

60 style, reminds me of \"Thunderbirds\"

The hotel sits on the banks of the river Ave, on an elevated position, with views over the town and river. It is situated at the entrance of Vila do Conde, one of the nicest coastal towns in Northern Portugal. You can walk into the town in around 5 minutes.
The building is a modern 60's style, in \"Thunderbirds\" fashion. Rooms are large and pleasant.
The hotel operates a SPA, and pool. The breakfast room overlooks the bridge and river, leading to the town, and the view is quite spectacular.
Despite the impressive architecture, the decor is looking a bit tired in places, and could do with some care and attention.
Nevertheless, I will definitely be going back, and would recommend this to anyone passing through.
Good value for money!

Nice Location Terrible attitude. No - No - No.

Our main issue has been the hotel staff. The daily staff especially, a
young gentlemen doing the night shift has been very helpful.

There was a bad attitude a sense of them doing you a favor just to be there. Bad check-in experience.

And not much co-operation with any of our requests, it has basically been a \"No\" answer for the entire stay.

So much that upon asking for a possible late check-out I was answered \"NO\" even before having had the chance to finish my sentence. there was no customer understanding or compromise or positive \"let's see what we can do\" attitude.

Average hotel but far from Porto

The hotel is situated on a river in a small town. It is located about 20 minutes walk from the sea and about 20 minutes from the metro station. It takes about 45 minutes to go to Porto by metro and the metro trains are very punctual.

The hotel has a pleasant spa and swimming pool but the bathrooms were not well ventilated. the food was about average. Basically there was nothing special about this hotel but the main disadvantage for me was the distance from Porto.

Nice hotel; good value

The hotel was very nice and provided good value for the money. The staff members were very friendly and helpful. I would gladly stay again at the hotel.

The only criticisms I have are as follows:

1) The hotel could use some minor renovation to improve its aesthetic appeal.
2) The complimentary breakfast was satisfactory; however, a couple of the buffet items were lukewarm when they would have been hot. Also, I would have liked a wee bit more variety in the buffet.
3) The wi-fi in my room was satisfactory. However, I did experience a few instances in which the connection was lost. These instances were infrequent and did not constitute a major problem. However, they were an irritation, albeit a minor one.

Allow me to emphasize that these criticisms involve minor matters.

The management may wish to consider instituting and promoting a shuttle between the hotel and the Santa Clara Metro station (which is part of the Porto Metro system). Perhaps such a shuttle could run every hour for most of the day, with an associated small fee (e.g., 5 euros) for hotel guests. (If the hotel has such a service, I was unaware of it.)

The hotel is situated in a very quiet area so a good sleep, especially after having arrived from Toronto, was much appreciated.

Mixed Experience

I am able to be very positive about the hotel staff, who were very helpful, fully competent and had a a most friendly, whilst respectful, attitude. The room was immaculately maintained throughout our stay. The wifi in the room was fast and reliable but the use of my laptop on the work surface was uncomfortable as the space between the end of the bed and the worksurface was insufficient to accommodate the chair. As I am sure that most customers of the hotel will need to use their laptops for both personal and business needs and the provision of a small desk and chair in the corner of the room would be much appreciated.
The Restaurant was most disappointing. We had all decided to have fish items off the menu for our main courses only to be told that no fresh fish was available. After dinner two of us ordered coffee and brandy, after short time the waiter returned to to tell us that the hotel had no brandy. Even the most modest restaurant in Portugal will always have an ample stock of Macieira !!

A good place to stay

The hotel is set on a slope above the river. It is a fairly steep walk back if you take a stroll into the town, but the town is well worth the walk. We found it a good base to explore the area and a good option for a trip to Porto by Metro. The breakfast is very good but we found we preferred local restaurants along the river for an evening meal. We would certainly consider using it again if we were in the area.

set in a lovely old fishing village

The hotel is a very strange layout because it is built into the side of the mountain so it appears to be upside down.
The reception is upstairs there are very long corridors to the lifts then down 2 floors to the bedrooms. the outlook from the bedrooms is beautiful, out across the river.
The hotels public areas were very very tired and needs quite a lot of money spending on it to bring it up to modern day standards.
The bedroom was fairly comfortable but again was very tired and needed upgrading, the carpets were quite stained. the patio area off the bedroom was lovely and big but quite shabby and no furniture to sit out.
The breakfast service was dreadful. I complained to the manager he said he would deal with it but it didn't really improve much. there are plenty of staff but they just stand around and don't seem to see what they have to do. they shuffle things around but don't replace or refill items when they run out. you have to constantly have to ask them for things. very very poor service.

A handy first night's stay near Porto airport

Felt a bit deserted and creepy. Arrived at 11pm and unable to get a drink from the bar, as it was all closed up well ahead of the advertised closure time of midnight. The man on the front desk refused to open it up when he could easily have done so. He said the bar man had \"gone home sick\". Also found the steam room closed without any kind of announcement. Enjoyed our stay overall, but would have been better had the staff been more pleasant (a couple were nice, but the rest were surly). Also be warned that bathing caps are required for the pool.

Beautiful quiet location and away from the crowds.

Initially, we booked this hotel to be away from the crowds of Porto. What a beautiful location, easy access to Porto by train nearby (about 45 mins by train to Porto). This is a jewel of a find! This hotel was the highlight of our trip. Staff was very personalized, warm, and friendly. The hotel was located in a very charming scenic area overlooking a river. And the hotel was large enough that you can take a quiet stroll to the many lounge areas provided. Our room was not only very clean, modern, but also quite and comfortable. Their restaurant (for dinner) also took advantage of the magnificent view of the river. The food was excellent (as they did have an advertisement of the Michelin star awards), price wise the dinner was medium, but it was well worth it. I asked from my steak med-rare and it was cooked to perfection, my gf had the octopus and it was the most tender I've ever tasted, portions were also generous. To be honest though I wasn't too impressed with the starters and the dessert. The hotel needed some minor repairs that needed tending to, but this did not distract at all from our overall experience. I would highly recommend this hotel.

My only small reservation was a few things were a bit tatty, which was a great shame. The table in the room had the surface peeling away, these were Ikea Lack tables that cost under €10.

Wenig Auswahl beim Frühstück, unhygenisch, Kaffeemaschinen immer dreckig, zu wenig Personal, Scheiben blind, Matratzen durchgelegen, schwimmen nur mit Badekappe für 10€, Sofas im Aufenthaltsraum gammelig und muffig.

Das Hotel liegt in einer sehr schönen Gegend. Die Stadt Vila do Conde ist zu Fuß sehr gut zu erreichen sowie der Strand.
Um so erschreckender der Zustand des Hotels. Das Hotel ist mehr als in die Jahre gekommen. Die Sauberkeit hat noch sehr viel Luft nach oben.
Das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Accueil très agréable, mais hôtel très vieillissant du sable dans la jacuzzi, alors qu’on est dans un hôtel et pas à la plage bizarre

Buenas opción para alojarse en Vila do Conde

Buen hotel aunque está algo anticuado en las instalaciones pero en general es confortable. El desayuno ha mejorado con respecto a los años anteriores. La zona de spa magnífica aunque está última estancia hemos notado el agua de la piscina un poco más fría.

Empregado da recepção antipático. Acho que este hotel para 4 estrelas que tem o serviço deixa a desejar.

Séjour très agréable accès au SPA sans supplément.
Par contre un inconvénient majeur une odeur de tabac froid dans la chambre même dans les draps ça c'était vraiment le point négatif.

A rénover mais bien

Les chambres sont vétustes et auraient besoin d'un bon coup de neuf, notamment les salles de bain demanderaient des douches

SPA

El spa debería ser solo para adultos.
Los niños,son niños.cuando eres niño no piensas en desconectar y relajarte.Llevar a 3 niños a un spa no me parece muy lógico
