Short city break to Porto
This hotel was ideally situated right on the river in the centre of the city. It was clean, quiet, comfortable, spacious and reasonably priced. Definitely would book again.

Location is great and rooms are decent, however we got a very loud room, on an alley and above a restaurant where there’s live music on weekends. Needless to say that we couldn’t sleep. The staff said that there’s nothing they could do since the hotel is full. In addition, over the 4 days we stayed there the WiFi was either not working or very slow. When we asked the staff about it, they said it was fine.

Friendly hotel in centre of historic riverfront ar
Good location very close to the square on the riverfront of the old town. Short distance to walk to many of tourist sights. About 10 mins wall from Bentoa station and metro (down or up the hill depending on to or from hotel). Pleasant room with good facilities and comfortable bed. Breakfast had quite a range of offerings. Reception staff helpful. We were on second floor at back and could hear noise (with windows shut) as nearby restaurants shut up but by 22.30 it was usually quiet and stayed that way until after 08.00 when we were up. I am a light sleeper but got 4 nights of pretty good sleep without probs.
