This is a great hotel with stunning views from the balcony; our view included the river, the city, and a beautiful sunset over the river. Everything was within walking distance, including restaurants, historic sites, and tours. While the bed was a bit hard for me, everything else made that a distant memory. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. I would recommend this hotel and would stay again.

Excellent location. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were able to get us into our room early and helped us get an early morning ride to the airport. The hotel is super clean and very modern. The rooftop bar and deck has an amazing view of Porto. We were also able to see an amazing sunset. Highly recommend this hotel. The bed is also very comfortable.
