Guest Ratings & Reviews
I found the hotel to be a great value for the price, offering modern, tidy, and well-equipped rooms that were clean and ensured a peaceful stay away from noise. The service was exceptionally good, with friendly and helpful staff available 24/7 for any need. The location, slightly out of central Porto, was very convenient for exploring the city and had friendly staff. The dining experience was really good, offering a variety of options to start the day off right.
The hotel is in a prime location, with clean and comfortable rooms following a recent refurbishment. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, offering valuable suggestions. However, the dining experience could be improved. Overall, a solid choice for a stay.
The hotel offers modern and spacious rooms with a contemporary feel but falls short on comfort, especially on the noisy ground floor at night. The service was exceptional, with friendly and informative staff willing to assist with recommendations and amenities. The location is convenient, not far from the city center and with easy access to the airport. The dining experience was simple yet enjoyable, and the facilities provided added value to the stay.
I had an amazing stay at the hotel! The room was very modern and offered a nice view of the city. The automatic blinds were a nice touch and helped us sleep in, almost making us late for breakfast. The IKEA furnishings gave the room a sleek and contemporary feel.
The hotel offers modern and well-designed small but noisy rooms, making it a bit challenging to sleep. The service is friendly and helpful, and the location is convenient to public transport and not far from the center of the city. Dining is delicious but slightly expensive. The facilities are in good condition, with everything clean and tidy.
The hotel is conveniently located close to the metro and offers clean and well-decorated rooms despite some noise from the street. The staff is exceptionally accommodating and friendly, available around the clock for any assistance. The dining experience, although varied in quality, includes continental style fare. A relatively close distance to the airport complements the favorable location, while the facilities and amenities meet expectations.
