We had the one bedroom apartment right beside the main hotel . Was bright and clean over looking the cafes below . It can a little loud in the evening . ( Protip) Make sure your windows are latched shut to minimise noise) shower was excellent . The hotel was close to everything and I highly recommend .

Our Studio suite was huge and very clean and the location was great within walkable distance to all the museums and attractions and far enough away from the large crowds by the river. There was a nice patio area in front of the hotel with 6 different restaurants to dine at including a lovely bakery. Staff were accommodating and pleasant. Great spot.

Nice apartments, great location.

The layout of this "hotel" is a bit strange, as the reception and the dining/breakfast room are in one building and the apartments (because it's apartments and not just single rooms) are in the building next door. The location is very good, a stone's throw from Clerigos and right beside a large selection of bars and restaurants. Well worth a look if you are looking for a nice base to discover Porto from. Is not the most "central" from a tourist point of view, but are a lot of things around that you might not see otherwise.

Nice!

Nice stay! Very central location. The room for two was extremely big, more like an apartment which was lovelyā€”outfitted with a kitchen and a big bathroom. Very comfortable for anyone travelling to Porto. Only negative was confusion surrounding cleaning, as we were told this would be done automatically without any need to ask for it... which did not happen. Perhaps it should be communicated clearer what the terms for cleaning are, but it's by no means a big negative and would've most assuredly been resolved by staff if we needed itā€”but for our stay we only really needed a change of towels, which we got when we asked for it.

Not sure if this was a rentable unit. Fridge did not work, shelf in shower hanging and the holes above it you can see it had fallen before, no tv in living room even with the wires coming out the wall, remote for tv in bedroom did not work, linen were starched to hell and were stained as well as the towels thang god I travel with my own and last of all hair on the floor (Iā€™m Bald). With all that the location is great, it had an elevator. The wine bar across the street was fantastic! Oh wifi sucked!

We booked the apartment and it's very spacious. It has kitchen and utensils. Microwave and stove. Bathroom is spacious too. Bakery and restaurants below the building. Walkable to everywhere, very close the "bookstore" and the "McDonald". It got real noisy on Friday night because of the restaurants, till 2am. Wifi is not the best.
