United States, January 2024

8.8/10

I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! The hotel's amazing location right in the heart of the city allowed me to enjoy the beautiful view of the Douro river from my room. The atmosphere, cleanliness, and decor were outstanding. However, the absence of a sofa and the small TV in the room were a bit of a letdown.

Rooms

8.0

The rooms are well soundproofed, making terrace noise a non-issue. They are directly above the cooking area located in the bar, which added to the experience. The room size is good, but the lack of a sofa and a small TV may not suit everyone's preferences.

Service

9.0

The service was top-notch! From the big beaming smiles greeting me at every corner to the helpful and cheerful dining staff, I felt truly welcomed. However, I did notice a slight cool and disinterested attitude from the management.

Location

10.0

The location is simply perfect! Situated right by the Douro river, I could easily explore Porto and Gaia's main attractions on foot. The terrace directly overlooking the river and bridge made my stay even more special, despite being located in an alley under a raised walkway.

Dining

8.0

Dining at the hotel was a must-do experience! The buffet spread, alongside made-to-order eggs, bacon, and thin pancakes, was delightful. The menu offered great food, including nice pastries, but while the crinkle-cut fries were tasty, some more variety would be appreciated.

Facilities

The hotel's facilities were excellent, offering various services like dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry, and even an airport shuttle for convenience.

The hotel offers comfortable and clean rooms with a shared kitchen and seating area, but the kitchenette may seem unnecessary for some. The service provided is friendly and helpful, though some amenities like shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel were not replenished. The location is excellent, right on the riverfront, offering plenty of dining options within walking distance, but rooms above can be noisy in the morning. The dining experience is enjoyable with a variety of food options, although some areas could be improved. Overall, a great choice for those seeking a river view and port wine experience.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, designed as mini-apartments with small kitchens on the upper floors, offered a beautiful view of Porto, which was undoubtedly a highlight. However, while the service, though provided by young and friendly staff, was slow at times and slightly forgetful. The location, although excellent along the waterfront in the Ribera District with lovely river views, needed precise directions for finding it, making it a bit inconvenient. The dining experience was satisfactory with delicious food options and helpful staff, but there were some minor facilities issues to note.

The hotel's location was excellent, situated on the waterfront in the Ribera District, offering lovely river views. However, it was a bit tricky to find and needed a detailed description like 'behind the Chez Lapin. '

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience - the rooms were comfortable, clean, and well-appointed but had some design quirks that made sleeping a bit challenging. The service was friendly and helpful, offering a charming simple breakfast, but there were some ups and downs in the overall experience. The location was fantastic, right by the river in a lively central area of Porto, but there were better places in the neighborhood. The dining was satisfying, with simple and fresh options, albeit at a relatively high price. The facilities were good, with basic amenities provided, making it a decent choice for a stay in Porto.

Rooms

The rooms were very comfortable, clean, and well-appointed, but had a skylight over the bed which made it tough to sleep in and multiple sets of French doors opening onto the street below and to the river.
