Short break
Travelled on 02/2026
Excellent location, a short 10mins walk from the station that takes you directly to the airport. It's about 15 - 20mins mins walk to the centre of porto and the main attractions.
The staff were very helpful, recommended local restaurants and a nice park up the road, they even lent me a charger when I realised I'd forgotten one.
Room wasnt massive, I had a twin room, but plenty of storage space, sockets by the bed, ...

Good hotel and very comfortable
Travelled on 07/2025
Stayed here for five nights, hotel was very comfortable, air conditioned rooms and modern bathroom. Friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast available.

Also recommend CM tours f...

Well-priced for what you get

Key Issues:
Room Type Discrepancy: Two months before arrival, we notified the hotel about a language inconsistency on their website (vs. Expedia) regarding bed types (1 bed vs. 2 beds). The reservations team acknowledged our concern but assured us adjustments would be made upon availability instead of reboo...

Superficial Hotel with nice bedrooms
Travelled on 05/2025
The room we had was a great size. The flooring was coming off though. We enjoyed our sleep in the room and it was quiet, even with building works going on next door. The bed and pillows, were very comfortable.
The hotel reception is poor and the people we came across had a very "lazy" attitude. The breakfast was very average amd totally unorganised. The hotel is around 15-20mins walk into the main part of town. Its i...
