Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious, sparkling clean, and had charming square windows with traditional wood coverings that overlooked the Douro River. The location was perfect for exploring along the river and within walking distance to the iconic bridge. The dining experience was a culinary delight with a great variety of dishes, but there were some minor issues with timing and coffee availability during breakfast. Overall, a fantastic choice with excellent service and fabulous views.
The hotel had wonderful views out over the river to which we were ushered. The rooms were very dark, which might not be an ideal place to start your day, but the shaving mirror was a nice touch. The service was all smiles and made the short wait pleasant. The location was wonderful and close to sites, water taxis, and great food. The dining experience was amazing, with a lot of variety and delicious local delicacies. The facilities were top-notch, offering room service, car hire, dry cleaning, laundry, and pet amenities. However, the rooms being dark and cramped due to the heritage building could be a downside.
The hotel offers lovely and spacious rooms, with comfortable beds and large bathrooms. The service is friendly and attentive, eager to assist in arranging tours and recommendations. The location is excellent, perfect for enjoying breakfast by the river and being close to all the action. The dining experience is outstanding, offering a wide variety of delicious foods. However, the rooms facing the alley can be a bit dark despite the sitting area. Overall, a great place to stay with fantastic amenities and service.
I had a pleasant stay overall. The room was clean and well-equipped, but the view was disappointing. The service was friendly and helpful, and the location was exceptional right on the waterfront. The dining experience was enjoyable, although I felt the potential for improvement. Facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
My stay at the hotel was an overall pleasant experience. The rooms were well-appointed with a great view of the Duoro River, although the antique A/C machine was quite noisy. The hotel's location was perfect on the Duoro, providing easy access to many attractions in Porto. The dining experience was a mix of very good food but with some crowding issues during peak times.
I had a great stay at this hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a wonderful location by the river. However, the dining experience could be improved with more variety. The hotel offers excellent facilities perfect for a relaxing getaway.
The hotel's rooms were spacious, clean, and modern, a pleasant surprise. However, the pricing seemed quite high for the rather small rooms. The service was mostly kind and helpful, but there were issues with communication about renovations. The location was fantastic, offering views of the river and easy access to Porto's main sites. The dining experience was diverse, with a highlight being the fresh squeezed OJ and fruit smoothies. Overall, a mix of modern comfort and a great location but with some service lapses.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely unforgettable with breathtaking views of the Duoro River from my very large and comfortable room. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly, making my experience fantastic with nothing being too much trouble. The dining options were very good, offering an excellent choice of food, albeit a bit busy during peak times.
I loved the fact that our room faced an interior courtyard, making it so quiet for a great night's sleep. The view of the River and bridge from our windows was absolutely beautiful. However, the heating could have been warmer, and our room wasn't ready upon arrival, which was a bit disappointing.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great views and generous room size, but with a mediocre shower and a lack of scenic views from the bedroom. The service was friendly and helpful, although there were some minor issues with table clearing and menu delivery. The location was exceptional with views over the river, and the dining experience was excellent, especially with a variety of fresh options. The facilities were top-notch.
