Reviews and Ratings
I had a delightful stay at this hotel! The room was quiet, had balconies with a view of the town's rooftops, and though a bit dim, it was still wonderful. The service was top-notch, with friendly and knowledgeable staff, especially Luis from the food and beverage team. The central location made exploring Porto a breeze, and the dining experience, managed by Anna, was lovely. While the breakfast was good, it didn't wow me. Overall, a great value for a premium stay in a historic building.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with a wide selection of pillows for a good night's sleep, although they can feel a little small during peak times and might have a slight smell. The service is exceptional, especially from the attentive evening dining room staff, yet there are some issues with pricing misperception. The location is ideal, just a short distance from all major attractions in the historical center. The dining experience is delightful, with excellent service, though a bit pricey. Overall, a superb option for those seeking a convenient and elegant stay.
The hotel is well-located for touring Porto, with friendly staff and a stunning room. However, the dining could offer more healthy options. Great value for a truly premium experience.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although advertised as a junior suite, were surprisingly small. On the upside, they were still spacious, luxurious, and impeccably clean. The service was welcoming overall, with a standout friendly concierge, but could have been more accommodating regarding timings. The location was excellent, especially for sightseeing in the historical center of Porto. However, the dining experience left much to be desired with limited food options, though the hotel's premium features were still noteworthy.
I had a fabulous stay at the hotel. The rooms were stunning, offering fantastic views over the square and delightful amenities. The service was top-notch, with extremely helpful and friendly staff. The location was amazing, right in the center of Porto. The dining experience was spectacular with a variety of delicious dishes. Overall, a fantastic hotel with some minor room for improvement in certain areas.
My stay at the hotel was exceptional. The room facing the town hall was terrific, providing a fabulous view of the square. The room was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and spacious, offering all the necessary amenities. The staff, although behaving as if the room should be very expensive, were gracious and helpful with recommendations. The location was perfect, just a few minutes walk from the station and close to all the sights. The dining experience was extensive and delicious, although the price for the breakfast seemed high. Overall, a great value for money.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful overall. The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable, boasting a super comfy bed and huge pillows that felt like marshmallows. The big bathroom added a touch of luxury. However, the front desk clerk was a bit off-putting with their behavior. The service was outstanding, going out of their way to assist with various requests. The location was perfect, putting me right in the heart of everything in Porto. The dining experience was good, with plenty of options, but could have been warmer. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything needed for a pleasant stay.
