    full breakfast
    cosy room
    lacking shower privacy

    Oi, we had a lovely stay! The breakfast was a proper treat with freshly made omelettes and a grand view of the Douro. Rooms were clean and cosy, but the shower could do with a bit more privacy, innit? All in all, a right gem!

    shower design issue

    Great vibes in Porto 🌊

    The river view was lekker but high up, so not really a sit-and-stare kind of vibe. Chommies at reception are super friendly and the artwork in the rooms is cool, reminded me of an art gallery.

    Shower design is a bit off, water tends to go everywhere, ag man!

    great stay but smaller rooms

    The breakfast buffet offered a good variety. I particularly liked the cozy king-size bed that provided a comfortable night's sleep. The view of the Douro River from my room was a fine bonus.

    The rooms are quite compact, which may not suit everyone.

    A Nice Stay with Fine Views

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with a cozy twin room overlooking the river. The friendly staff, and the charming courtyard was a perfect spot to unwind after exploring Porto. Don't miss the breakfast-the freshly cooked omelettes were a good start to each day.

    Fine River Views and Delicious Breakfast

    The breakfast was really good, with a live cooking station that served fresh omelettes and a fantastic selection of pastries. I particularly enjoyed the proximity to local dining options and the clean, artistic decor throughout the hotel. On a minor note, access to an iron in the room would have been a nice addition.

    charming artwork
    good breakfast
    long wait
    cold buffet
    lack of iron

    The room size was adequate, offering a comfortable stay, and the artwork throughout added a charming touch. Enjoying fresh guava jam at breakfast was a good surprise. The freshly cooked omelette took far too long to arrive, and access to an iron would have been appreciated. The hot buffet's lack of heat meant that some items were cold towards the end of breakfast service.
