The hotel was beautiful- the location was fantastic, the staff were wonderful and very helpful and the sunset view from the balcony and pool was the best we've seen! Each staff member went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, and the cleaners were fantastic- our room was spotless. We will certainly stay again! The only thing I would say is that they could do with 2 chairs on the balcony. It's fine as there is another chair in the room, but it's too big to fit both chairs outside. They also offer free luggage storage after checkout which is really helpful.

A wonderful week at this new hotel on the Gaia side overlooking Porto. Very close to the lower level of Luis I bridge so easy to walk into Porto. The views were breathtaking, one you would never be bored looking at. The pool area is relaxing but as you should expect, gets busy and had to wait for sun loungers, however, there are seats too. Breakfast was always fresh and plentiful, a nice way to start the day. Porto is a great place to stay for excursions further afield (we did Braga and Guimarães) but locally the wine cellars a must especially three ports and chocolate (Calem.) We also enjoyed the cathedral, boat trip and tower. Food is Porto is varied and delicious, something for everyone.

Excelente hotel!

A localização do hotel é espetacular e a vista para o Porto é muito bonita, pois a acomodação fica em Gaya, ao lado da Ponte D Luis I. O café da manhã é completo. Foi uma surpresa encontrar esse hotel por causa do custo benefício.

Super locatie met alles binnen handbereik. Alles is modern, netjes en in zeer goede staat. Smaakvolle inrichting. Perfect uitzicht vanaf het terras met zwembad en ligstoelen. Zwembad is wel klein. Zeer uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet. Schone kamers van alle gemakken voorzien, al is er geen waterkoker voor thee of een koffiemachine op de kamer. Wel gratis flessen water. Heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel.
