The hotel is nice enough and the staff was lovely. But it didn’t feel like a great value for the location. It’s basically in the parking lot of a giant shopping mall if that appeals to you. It does not appeal to me. You need to take a bus or drive to all the touristy bits in Porto.

Liked: Amenities
We got a great deal, particularly for the location and time. The hotel lobby looks great and overall the facilities are great. The room was disappointing, as the bathroom area clearly suffered water damage which doesn't seem to have been repaired and leaves the room with an awful look. Room cleanliness on arrival was also not great, but was good the 2nd day of our stay.

Cons 1. Hairdryer was jammed when we checked in & the head had to be replaced as it was inoperable due to hair jammed into the head of the hairdryer. 2. The website says air-conditioned rooms but staff informed they are air cooled.The first night was very sweaty & uncomfortable to get sleep. Staff asked us to open the window for ventilation.This wasn't an option as this overlooks a highway & lot of traffic noise. 3. The hotel is located in Gais & requires Bolt & Uber for any Porto related activities. 4. Lugging heavy suitcases even with wheels is a pain as the drop-off is on the main road & have to drag the bags over a gravel path. A side entrance or paved path would be good.Waiting for Uber / Bolt is a pain if the weather is scorching hot, as we experienced very high temperatures. Pros 1. Staff are attentive.When we escalated the air-conditioner issue, they finally had someone service it & we could continue to sleep well for the remaining 2 night. Ditto the hair dryer issue though disgusting was resolved by sending a technician.But these should have been checked rather than inconveniencing guests! 2.Located close to a mall - Arabidda Shopping so lots of options to eat & shop. 3. A hospital is close by so the hotel is for medical stays. 4. The hotel is clean and tidy & checking in & out was effortless. 5. Marcus, Ines with specs among other staff were supportive. 6. Room was decent size for 3 beds and the bathroom was spacious 7. World Cup matches screened in the bar

The interior was nice but entran was hard to find

We stayed one night while in Porto and it was a very pleasant stay. The room was modern, clean, comfortable and spacious. Our only issue was that it was hard to find because there is no front entrance off the street like most hotels and only small signage regarding parking so we ended up driving around it a few times before we realized how to get to the entrance. The hotel interior is nice but the whole entry area outside of it looks sad and neglected and was an odd set up, but didn’t really take away from our experience since we were heading into the city and just wanted a place for the night where we could park. Overall I’d probably stay here again since it suited us and was affordable.
