She was lovely and so kind. There was a male receptionist in a suit with glasses who was quite rude and blunt (I almost cancelled our stay due to how he spoke to us) but once we dealt w Tatiana she was amazing. She was so busy and never stopped yet always so helpful and cheerful.

Even though it looks on a map like a ways out from Porto, it is not a long ride – about a €5 ride-share, which is more than made up for by the much greater value you get staying here vs. a hotel in Porto proper. The only downside is that the beds were not especially comfortable. ##### Ian Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa Oct 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Not very close by ##### Teresa Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mattia Oct 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication Beautiful Hotel ##### Mattia Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amber Jun 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Very spacious and clean room.
