Guest Reviews
- Sara (5/5): - It was ok !
- Natallia (4/5): - The location and design is nice. The hotel is on a busy street with large windows that have no sound insulation so it was difficult to sleep. I was there for a conference and when I asked for an iron in the morning I was told that the iron is with another guest and I have to wait until they clean their room and find that said iron. And recommended for me to go to a laundromat… For a business traveler this is not acceptable so would never go back there.
- Sandra (8/5): -
- Hui ling (9/5): Great location & friendly staff highly recommended - The location, the room & the staffs None
- Thomas (7/5): Lage sehr gut, Ambiente sehr nett, Personal nett, Zimmer mit Schwächen - Lage sehr gut, man ist gleich am Fluss und bei den Lokalen, aber durch Lage in der Seitenstraße trotzdem ruhig. Frühstück einfach aber gut. Wir hatten die Fenster zum Innenhof, war leider nicht so beschrieben. Innenhof laut durch Klimageräte und Geruch durch Abluft Restaurant. Da wir zum Schlafen nicht im stickigem Zimmer liegen wollten, mussten wir damit leben und haben das Fenster aufgemacht. Wenn es zu laut wurde, musste man nachts aufstehen und schließen.
Abfluss vom Waschbecken war verstopft. Trotz Meldung am ersten Tag konnte das Problem nicht behoben werden.
- Marion (8/5): Super emplacement - Emplacement incroyable ! Forte odeur de remontée de canalisations dans les douches..
- Paola (10/5): - L'albergo si contraddistingue per l'unicità dell'arredamento ed atmosfera ricercata e curata nei dettagli, con ampie aree comuni eleganti e accoglienti. La posizione centralissima nel quartire de la Ribeira, è perfetta per visitare comodamente la città a piedi, con ottimi ristoranti nelle immediate vicinanze. Colazione eccellente, abbondante e di qualità.
Staff gentilissimo, professionale e sempre super disponibile.
Consigliatissimo !
- guimarães (6/5): Muito barulho vindo da rua!!! Não se pode ter um sono sossegado, infelizmente! - Da recepção dos funcionários e do café Faltou limpeza da ducha higiênica e do banheiro; um barulho absurdo na rua pois não têm janelas anti-ruído
- PAULO (9/5): -
- Milena (8/5): - Posizione fantastica
- Malc (10/5): - A very special little hotel in a great location. Loved the rooms and the breakfasts. All good.
- Sabine (9/5): -
- Colin (6/5): Spoilt by some of the above comments - Nice size room and bathroom. Good position No hot water first day so unable to shower. No internet last day. Had to ask for a kettle and tea in the room not automatically provided. Asked for some cold milk and was told there wasn’t any in the hotel so had to go out and buy our own! Staff unhelpful. Breakfast average. No tissues in room which we would have expected in this type of hotel.
- PHILIP (9/5): - Extremely good location.
Fabulous breakfast.
Welcoming and knowledgeable staff.
- OTTAVIO (7/5): STRUTTURA MODERNA CENTRALISSIMA. - POSIZIONE SUPER CENTRALE
RAPPORTO QUALITA PREZZO.
STRUTTURA MODERNA. DIMENSIONI DELLA CAMERA UN PO TROPPO RIDOTTE.
ENTRA TROPPA LUCE DALLA FINESTRA.
- Ludmila (10/5): - Everything was great! It was a little bit noise in my room
- Macarena (8/5): -
- Franco (8/5): -
- Isabel (9/5): -
- Monica (9/5): -
- Audrey (8/5): -
- Brian (4/5): Ne jamais recommander l’endroit! - L’emplacement L’incompétence à la réception
Très , très mauvais système d’aération et nullité totale de la climatisation.
- David (4/5): - No air conditioning
Called the front desk and the manager told us they would fix it tomorrow
There for one night

- Lela (10/5): -
- Simone (9/5): Zentral und zu empfehlen - Sehr gute und zentrale Unterkunft. Sehr ruhig nachts. Sehr gute Betten, schöne Atmosphäre und gute Einrichtung.
- LESLIE (10/5): Unbeatable location, excellent hotel & staff - Unbeatable location! One street back from the river and right in the centre of the tourist area.
Room was everything we needed, huge with comfortable beds, amazing rain shower.
The young women on reception were excellent - always friendly and helpful. Nothing
- Mark (7/5): Lovely hotel in a great location but avoid the top floor rooms if you like your sleep! - Excellent location next to the river. Room had everything we needed. The seagulls which were roosting on the roof of our bedroom and were squawking and screaming the whole night! On asking if we could be moved to another room we were told the hotel was full. The solution from the manager - Earplugs!!!
- Emanuela (10/5): -
- Caio Mario (8/5): Ótima estadia, tirando o barulho da rua. - Muito limpa, bonita e confortável. Café da manhã muito bom. Muito barulho da rua até tarde da noite.
- igor (10/5): - Hotel super aconchegante, quartos excelentes, localização ótima. Ótima opção
- Apolline (10/5): -
- Michael (9/5): Ideaal hotel om met ons gezin Porto te verkennen - Zalig ontbijt. Zeer vriendelijk personeel.
Wat geluid 's nachts. Ze waren echter bezig de ramen aan het renoveren (onze kamer was nog niet gedaan), dus ik veronderstel dat in de toekomst dit geen probleem meer zal zijn door de betere akoestische isolatie.
Ideale ligging om Porto te verkennen. Nachtlawaai (maar zie bij positieve punten, zal nu waarschijnlijk opgelost zijn).
Voor mensen die minder mobiel zijn: wat moeilijker bereikbaar.
- Tennur (9/5): - Personelin yaklaşımı,temizlik,konfor ve konum. Terlik yoktu.
- Evelin (8/5): - Lage, Sauberkeit, Frühstück, Hilfsbereitschaft der Mitarbeiter. Es war sehr kalt und die Klimaanlage im Zimmer ließ sich nicht zufriedenstellend regeln, die Klimaanlage im Frühstücksraum war auch sehr kalt eingestellt. In unserem Zimmer rann die Toilettenspülung durchgehend, war sehr laut und wurde trotz Hinweis nicht repariert.
- Sara (10/5): Fab central location! - Great location…amazing shower!! Very cool hotel in location close to everything…lovely breakfast…can’t fault. Air con not great so pretty hot at night.
- Lara (10/5): - Central location
- Carmelo (9/5): -
- Laura (9/5): Great location and comfy stay - Great location - around restaurants and walking distance to most things. Seagulls were loud but the hotel has nothing to do with that. Just bring earplugs and be grateful to be able to walk along the river!
- Gustavo (9/5): - Localização e café da manhã excelentes.
- Elisabetta (9/5): Chicca nel cuore della Riberira - Camere grandi e ben arredate. Posizione top nel cuore della Ribeira. Colazione curata e gustosa niente.
- Karol (10/5): -
- Steven (8/5): Nice stay in the center of Porto -
- Stefan (10/5): -
- Marco (6/5): Good but could have been better, sleep was affected by bird noises. - Breakfast, location, staff First room had the velux window broken and couldn't be closed. it should have been spotted bu staff and repaired.
Second room was good, but overall very noisy. Seagulls screams just outside the windows, could not sleep well any of the nights. It needs much better windows or ways to keep seagulls away.
- Gela (9/5): Very good location, clean and comfortable room ! - Perfect location !
- Jennifer (10/5): Ottimo! - La struttura è la posizione
- Daniel (9/5): Z pewnością wrócimy do tego hotelu podczas naszej kolejnej wizyty w Porto! - Wszystko było na najwyższym poziomie i dokładnie tak, jak powinno. Lokalizacja okazała się idealna, a czystość pokoju i całego obiektu była bez zarzutu. Szczerze mówiąc, nie zauważyłem niczego, co wymagałoby poprawy.
- Chan (8/5): - Location
Breakfast was convenient No view out the window

- Mark (9/5): - Good, historical location.
Modern, small hotel.
Friendly staff.
Clean. Street noise.
- Emmanuelle (9/5): Top! Je recommande!! - Nous avons passé un super séjour dans cet hôtel très confort, chambre spacieuse et agréable, petit dej au top, situé juste une rue derrière les bords du douro, idéal pour point de départ de tout porto. La Clim que l’on ne peut piloter individuellement, j’ai eu très chaud la nuit! Et le bruit parfois le soir dans les couloirs.
- emin (9/5): -
- Jeisson (9/5): - El un lugar cómodo, con buena ubicación además las instalaciones son bonitas, buena atención.
Me gustó mucho, volveria sin dudarlo. Hay un mini bar. Entiendo que es un servicio extra, pero me parece deberían preguntar al cliente si lo quiere o no el mini bar.
Al momento del check out te preguntan si consumió algo del mini bar, lo cuál es un poco molesto.
Sugiero en su lugar tener un pequeño bar la recepción.
- Julita (10/5): - perfect location, very nice and spacious room.
- Trevor Sproat (7/5): -
- Vanessa (6/5): - Vicina al fiume Hanno avuto problemi con l’allargamento della struttura e a mio parere avrebbero dovuto avvertirci per permetterci di decidere se soggiornare da loro, in quanto noi nello specifico avevamo con noi una bimba di quasi tre anni che abbiamo dovuto portarci in braccio per quattro piani, senza ascensore, perché non funzionava causa allagamento. É stato difficile e disagiante.
ALMENO CAMBIARCI LA STANZA AD UN PIANO PIÙ BASSO per aiutarci…

- Ester (10/5): - La decoración, la amplitud de la habitación, el desayuno,la amabilidad del personal
- Brittany (8/5): Great hotel in central location - It was very modern, fairly spacious, and in a central location. Since it was right by the water and a busy plaza, it could be very loud at night with people and seagulls. I can’t fault them for the seagulls but it is definitely something to prep for:

- Luis (8/5): Quando Voltar ao Porto , o Hotel vai ser uma prioridade na pesquisa - O pequeno almoço era bom , suficiente sem ter demasiada escolha .
O local é muito bom , muito central para a visita que queria fazer na cidade Não gostei do quarto ter a casa de banho avariada e não ter sido resolvido na hora , esperamos ate tarde para encontrar a solução de mudar de quarto ,
Não é culpa do hotel mas fica a ideia , A falta de estacionamento foi um problema , acabamos por pagar bastante dinheiro no parque mais próximo
- Thomas (7/5): -
- David (10/5): Bonito - Todo La ducha resbala
- Jo (9/5): -
- Cristina (9/5): Excelente! - Localização muito boa para quem quer fazer tudo a pé. Fica numa rua peatonal, paralela à Ribeira. Quarto muito grande, maior que nas fotos! Conforto da cama e roupa de cama de ótima qualidade. Não posso avaliar o café da manhã, pois não consumi. Fomos recebidos com mimos e chocolate! Colocaram-nos num quarto com acessibilidade e o banheiro era enorme!!! No entanto, a bancada da pia era ruim. Não nos foi avisado que nossa suíte seria assim.
- Miguel Angel (10/5): -
- Tina (8/5): - we have 2 rooms,the breakfast is good, the room of 4 floor is so good.

- Batuhan (8/5): -
