After a long journey from Lisbon, the hotel was a perfect retreat with beautiful modern rooms boasting double balconies overlooking a peaceful garden. The rooms were large, clean, and quiet, offering a very comfortable stay. The service immediately removed any worries, allowing me to relax. While inexperienced at times, the staff was generally friendly. The location was small but safe, ideal for a quiet night, and conveniently close to key spots in Porto. The dining options were good overall, though a bit pricey compared to local alternatives. The facilities were well-equipped, offering everything needed for a pleasant stay.

The hotel is in a prime location, just near shops and a short walk from Ribiera. The rooms are spacious and beautifully designed with artistic ajulejos, but lack coat/jacket hanging space. The service was incredibly helpful, welcoming, and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. Though some dining options are on the pricier side, the breakfast was delicious and offered a wide variety.
