Unlike today’s newer hotels, the room & bathroom were much larger….a very nice change. This was a great hotel, an easy 15-20 minute walk to subway) trains are only minutes away. Can’t say enough good things about the staff. I enjoyed my stay there. And I have to make an amendment to an earlier review when I referred to a woman at the front desk as Isabella. Her name is actually Annabella(hope I got the spelling correct). Thanks for all the great chats, Anabella.

It’s a family owned hotel & their attention to detail & providing good service to their guests is evident. Unlike many of the newer, more modern hotels, the rooms are spacious & very comfortable. The biggest appeal to me is that the hotel isn’t located in the heart of the tourist area.

The people were very friendly and helpful and spoke English as well as me, a Canadian. Metro is a few minutes walk away, but you can easily walk to Centro in about 15-20 minutes.

Short stay in Porto after river cruise
Hotel was probably about 0.5ml from Marques metro stop. No issues on arrival slightly earlier than official check-in and allocated room on third floor. Room was reasonable size, clean, but with limited storage facilities and no safe. Twin beds were basic and not overly comfy but acceptable. Shower was like turning on a tap (no spray) and bathroom became very hot as internal and contained hot water cylinder. Towels were not changed but left to dry for re-use so trying to reduce energy use. Breakfast was reasonable, had to ask for cold milk for cereal as only hot provided. Rest was rolls, ham, cheese and jams. Coffee was a bit stewed and strong with fruit juice available. Check out straightforward with bill as expected, and able to leave luggage for later collection. No close by restaurants found for evening meal but several cafe's for snacks in the area.
