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.

octavio

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Our room was not cleaned because we did not leave the lavel "please clean this room" hanging in the door. The person at the reception desk was rude when we compleined and told us that it was like that everywhere. I explained that when no label is hanging on the door the cleaner usually rings the bell and if nobody is in the room they enter and clean the door. Nothing changed the man on the reception desk and he shouted to us.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

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.
