The hotel is in a great location of the city center, within 2 minutes walk to Sta. Caterina Chapel, another minute to Mercado do Bolhao. Just keep walking down and you'll end up on the riverfront. Plenty of food places to choose from, from affordable to classy. Breakfast is very good, sausage, eggs, bread, croissants, pastel de nata, ham, cheese, cereals , fruits, freshly squeezed fruit juice, and very good coffee machine. We liked the location so much that we returned to it again from the airport when our flight was canceled
