Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was truly amazing! The room I had was huge and very comfortable, with a view that was perfect with a breathtaking 180 view overlooking the city and the sea. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, offering Tapas for some afternoon delight. The location, while a bit far from Porto city, was good for me as it was close to where I needed to go for work. The dining experience was top-notch, and the facilities were fantastic.
My stay at the hotel was an absolute delight! The rooms were much larger than what you typically find in UK hotels, and they were immaculately clean. The stunning view from our room added to the wonderful experience. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff going above and beyond to make our stay special. While the location might not be ideal for holidaymakers, it was perfect for my work trip. The dining options were good, and nearby cafes offered fantastic choices. Overall, a great value for money!
