Traditional two star hotel within walking distance of central Porto. We ere able to get a space in the underground carpark which was an added plus. Staff were excellent and very friendly. rooms a bit dated, but it sort of adds to the charm. Simple breakfast offered, but exceptional value
Good location, super clean. Breakfast ok.All around was a good stay. Only thing we really would of like and enjoy a little refrigerator in the room

Needed a one night stop in-between a long drive, easy to book
Pleasant stay and includes a nice little buffet breakfast.
Staff have been lovely.
Good stay
Parking underground was a bonus. Good beds and fairly quiet room considering that hotel is close to historic district. Good breakfast.

Average 2 star hotel in quiet location with
very few restaurants, shops or bars nearby.
It was a good 30 minute walk to the city centre and a 10 minute walk to the nearest metro station.
Basic breakfast and hotel room, with no fridge, kettle or safe.
Great, friendly staff. Conveniently located. Large patio\balcony off the room. The room was next to the back of the elevator and you could hear it going up and down. The shower head kept droopping down. Nice hot water. I would recommend hotel
