    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, felt like an art gallery.

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

    We enjoyed our stay with the kids, especially the lovely breakfast with plenty of options. The location by the river is great, making it easy to explore nearby spots and enjoy winery tours. The staff were incredibly friendly, adding a nice touch to our visit.

    My kids wished the room could have had a better view.

    great stay but smaller rooms

    The breakfast buffet offered a delightful variety, making each morning enjoyable. 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 stunning bonus, enhancing my overall experience.

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

    A Memorable Stay with Stunning Views

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

    Stunning River Views and Delicious Breakfast

    I had a wonderful stay with beautiful views of the Douro River from my room, making for a serene environment. The breakfast was exceptional, featuring 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.

    cozy courtyard

    The artistic theme throughout the hotel was really cool, especially the paintings and different artist room styles. I loved the cozy courtyard, perfect for relaxing after a day out. Enjoyed the wine tasting on our first evening, which was a lovely touch. Felt right at home with the spacious room, definitely made it a great base for exploring.

    charming artwork
    delightful 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 delightful 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.
