15min to 20min walk to town hall. Very good location.
Staff are friendly .
The only thing is you can hear noise of people in the corridor.
Breakfast was ok for three star hotel.
The staff was incredibly nice. The breakfast in the morning was also a nice touch. They had a nice variety of food, so each morning I had something different. My room was a bit small, but it was perfect for a solo trip. Everything is in walking distance if you don’t mind walking. Night life 15 mins away, restaurants minutes away, the sites also between 10-20 mins away. A good place to stay and worth the $.
One morning our room was not cleaned! Not enough towels, just 2 for us two?. But when we said that to very kind and professional recepcionist Raffaela everything was much better. The staff serving breakfast is little bit to old. You need younger people. Location is convenient. All together solid good.

The good - Bed was comfortable, Staff were friendly and helpful, location was great.
The bad - Bathroom floor was soaked from leaking shower, we had a room that faced onto the street, even with triple glazing it was LOUD. No breakfast option available to us.
The ugly - we retired for the night as we wanted to watch the football on the TV. We couldnt get the TV to work so reception came up, had a play around with it and said sorry - not working and left. Very disappointed to pay 100 pounds and not have a TV in the room.
It was a little noisy! Some customers arrived late at night and they woke up everybody. Overall a great place a little far from the downtown area but walkable!
It is wonderful that it has parking on the premises and it is a short walk to the pedestrian area of Porto.
It helped that the halal kebab place a couple of doors down is excellent
The woman on 1st shift wasn’t the friendliest, elevator so small and hot. The soaps you provide for customers should just be elimated. What’s the purpose?
Strange process of keeping the key when you go out. Every time I came home I had to buzz for ages to be let back in. Came back with my friend one night to await their taxi and was told I had to pay €25. Probably why they keep your key. We were talking in by room for all of 5 minutes before the same receptionist came up and complained about noise. We had no tv on or music playing. The walls must be paper thin as you’re not allowed to talk in your own room.
Room itself had no window. This wasn’t advertised. Musty horrible smell in the room.
Bathroom very grubby. And the shower was leaking.

Todo limpio y correcto. Zona centrica. Se puede ir andando al centro facilmente.
A relação qualidade/preço é boa e apesar de estar a 10-20 minutos a pé do que mais interessa visitar no centro, faz-se bem o percurso. A cama era muito boa e o quarto, equipado com o essencial (TV, frigorífico, etc…). A única questão menos positiva é a janela ser muito pequena, quase não deixando entrar luz natural e dando uma sensação de claustrofobia.
A recepcionista que nos atendeu foi bastante grossa, mas depois de eu reclamar de sua forma de falar, tratou-nos com mais Cortesia.
Existem um estacionamento no hotel mais o valor da diária é elevado, €20,00.
O hotel fica em uma região muito boa, com um café da manhã razoável, notamos apenas a falta de frutas no café da manhã e uma maior variedade de itens.
Hôtel moderne, bien situé (dans les hauts de Porto) avec une excellente literie.
En revanche sèche cheveux de l'ancien temps, odeur d'humidité dans le tiroir de la salle de bain et
petit déjeuné identique chaque jour avec très peu de choix.
