We had a lovely 4 nights in Porto. Ideal as we prefer to stay a little outside the main touristy areas. The Apartments meant that we had more than enough space for a party of 3. The lactation was close enough to two metro stations but good enough for a 30 min downhill walk to Sao Bento and Porto Gaia. Overall had a great stay and if we were to return to Porto would stay here again

The hotel was lovely and clean. Suite was spacious and views were beautiful. Only one cup and one robe, and housekeeping didn’t come until we were back for the night but luckily we weren’t too bothered about having the room cleaned. Would return.

Fantastic view

We picked this place because we had a car and they had parking. Free! Parking is available in the hotel under ground garage or in the hotel parking lot. We did not have any meals here, but they have a restaurant and bar on site. We had a view of Porto and the ocean, ask for a high floor. We had two single beds, but they were together like a king. When traveling in Europe we will go with single beds if they don’t have a king because other wise the beds are too small. Room was clean, staff was great. No microwave, but we had a refrigerator (no freezer) and a kettle. No coffee maker, but out of the 3 hotels we’ve stayed at on this trip it’s the first that a kettle in the room.
