    Staff is welcoming and you can park your car beneath the hotel. The services are exemplary, including a nice pool. There's great parking available and good internet too. The location is central, very close to the downtown and Metro Station on airport line. Bonfim is a district that deserves exploring.

    The staff here were really attentive and helped me out with all my questions and concerns. 🌟 When I got here, they gave me a nice big twin room with an extra bed, which was a pleasant surprise. It was such a comfy stay.

    The location is perfect, because it is quite close to the most touristy area, without the fuss. In 10 minutes walking you are in Rua Santa Catarina and surroundings. I had read that there were homeless people in the area, but being true, I say that there is no danger at all. The beds are very comfortable, the rooms are spacious, and you don't hear a sound. The swimming pool is ideal for getting there from walking around all day and relaxing a bit by watching the sunset from its windows, as you can see the sun going down perfectly. They leave you the towels at reception and access is free until 9pm, just enough to take a shower and go back out for dinner. The breakfast is quite complete and very adapted to all kinds of cultures. The staff is very attentive, and although there was a lot of hustle and bustle of organized trips they organize it so that not many people get together, so being a hotel with many floors, for example, in the elevator you usually don't wait long, because it is also very fast.

    To put it bluntly, I'd say that if you don't take half board and you want to stay for dinner some night at the hotel (normal if you've walked a lot during the day), buffet is a bit expensive, although the kids don't pay and food is good. There were works in the street where the hotel is and getting there was a bit of a mess, that doesn't depend on them. Without works the access from the motorway coming from Guimaraes is very good, perfect exit to go towards Galicia.

    This venue offers great quality with amazing staff and stunning views, a plentiful breakfast with many options, conveniently located near a bus station and just a 15-minute walk to the city center.

    breakfast service is wide, everyone could find something tasty.

    althrough I reserved a non smoking room. I get a smoking one. I didn't try to change because it was too much of repacking, but such a mistakes are quite painful for radical non-smoker. :)

    It is very nice hotel. Breakfast is just great, for every taste and color! The room is very comfortable, its own parking. We were satisfied. It's a long way from the center from all the sights and restaurants, but we understood that. There is convenient taxi call system,

    I didn't like the spa area. Dear managers. this is not a spa at all. It's a good pool, but that's where the upside ends. Two saunas are very bad. The Finnish sauna doesn't keep the temperature above 60 degrees. Even the baby wasn't hot there. In Hamam you can only be there when the steam is turned on. In the autumn. it's not a hammam at all.

    The breakfast offered here is more than adequate, with a great variety of choices and quality meats, alongside excellent service; the rooms are neat and amazing, equipped with a safe box, a balcony.

    I can recommend the Superior twin room on the 17th floor (minibar and parking included), it worth the price and has the best panorama in Porto.

    The property was pleasant and absolutely fantastic. The room with an extra bed was enjoyable, and my bed was exceptionally comfortable.The hotel is located in a central area adjacent to main areas like Ribeira and the main bus station in Porto.Iconic places like a 2-story market were approximately a 10-15 minutes' walk away.

    Facitities weren't advertised correctly. No mention that you had to pay for the pool & no minibar as advertised just an empty fridge.
