One couples stay

Room small but very clean and had everything needed. Shower and sink in the bedroom so not ideal for friends sharing. Staff pleasant. A little difficult to find entrance. Metal archway at side of McDonald’s. Folllwing satnav on Google maps didn’t take us to the right place. Good continental breakfast included.

We stayed for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The healthy, delicious breakfast and friendly staff made our visit comfortable and memorable.
Gregory, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property is right on the river in an excellent location near lots of great restaurants, shops and excursions. The room was just as described, the bed was comfortable and the view was wonderful. The staff were great and the breakfast was very good. We had a few glitches at no fault of the property and they took responsibility and made our stay pleasant as possible. The parking is difficult in this area so if you can arrive without a car, that is best. We highly recommend it.

10/10 Exceptional

This small boutique hotel has rooms right on the Douro River. The view was amazing! Located in the historic old town, it was convenient to walk everywhere. The room and bathroom were large and roomy, and the bed and linens were comfortable. Breakfast included was very good, with many fresh fruits, breads, and eggs to order.

10/10 Exceptional

Such a great spot. We were only in Porto for two days of this was the perfect location for that.
sonia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Adorable historic boutique hotel! Recently renovated with a fantastic location on the Duro river and a nice breakfast. Be aware… the property is NOT staffed after 10 pm. So check in earlier than that. We checked in late in the day and needed to wait outside for the staff member to come to the property. We were a little thrown off by that. Think of it like a cross between a boutique hotel and an AirBnB! Once she got there we settled in and had a great experience. Staff during working hours is very friendly, helpful and accommodating.
Stacy, 3-night trip

Couldn't have had better in Porto

Excellent location and base to explore Porto from. Could not have had better. Hotel rooms were very nice and loved the exposed stone work in the rooms and lounge.
Alistair, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This location is wonderful and the staff was excellent. The property is so small that it lacks some amenities but it’s a trade off to the location and the special feel of the hotel.
