The hotel was in a great location by the river. The staff was helpful with restaurant recommendations and the breakfast was good. Would recommend this hotel to others I would let others staying here know that it is next to McDonalds on the water side as we had a little trouble finding the hotel at first

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed four nights in a river view room. The view was spectacular, and air con very efficient. We loved the location as it was near enough to enjoy everything Porto has to offer but it had a sense of calm. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and bed super comfy. Breakfast was good with fruit, cereals, cold meat/cheese and salad and eggs cooked to order. We really couldn’t fault the hotel and would definitely return.

Great location, nice rooms and lovely staff made our trip to Porto a fabulous experience. The breakfast is great (as is the food in Porto in general) and being right on the river front in Ribeiro suited our itinerary perfectly. Would stay here again.
