Friendly staff, delicious breakfast, unbeatable location, nice accommodations
Great location. Amazing staff. Wonderful breakfast. Very accommodating to serve breakfast at an earlier hour than they opened. Friendly atmosphere
Excellent location, staff, and breakfast.
Bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable.
The staff is very helpful and accommodating. Any thing and every thing we asked of them was taken care of. The location is excellent, restaurants and bars very nearby. This boutique hotel was perfect for our stay in Porto!
Location and breakfast
Staff was not particularly helpful or friendly
The room was very nice. Excellent shower, comfy bed, nice staff.
The location is in a very touristy area. If you want to actually experience Porto, you have to walk some distance.
Lovely location, spacious rooms and modern decor. Breakfast was also done well.
Internet issues pretty much the whole time Tv didn't work Room phone didn't have power supply Took a while for someone to appear at front-desk when checking out
Location
Noisy due to street activity, but understandable due to location
Staff were very accommodating.
Quality of room
Full of character. Nicely designed.
Location was very good
-The bathroom and toilet did not have proper ventilation, therefore there was continuous bad smell which was unavoidable and not acceptable. -Slippers were not available which is very strange. Nowadays every hotel, even 2 star ones offer them. -Our room was very noisy till midnight due to some unbearable so called musicians and nearby bars and restaurants, plus garbage collections in the early morning.
Location, breakfast, free water in the room, free umbrelas
The staff, location and shower room
It was very modern, fairly spacious, and in a central location.
Since it was right by the water and a busy plaza, it could be very loud at night with people and seagulls. I can’t fault them for the seagulls but it is definitely something to prep for:
Good size room. Lovely bathroom. Breakfast was delicious, especially the home made cake. Good selection.
the location was fantastic, the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a lovely boutique hotel that I would recommend and stay in again.
we have 2 rooms,the breakfast is good, the room of 4 floor is so good.the room is clean, We are very comfortable here.
The other room on the first floor was cold for us.
