We stayed 3 nights here while diving in Porto. We picked this hotel due to low price and did not expect much. The room was small but A/C was working. Reception was manned only occassionally so when we wanted to check-out there was no one to be seen. Wi-Fi worked only couple of hours the first night but we have never seen anyone in the reception when we were around to ask. Staff spoke only limited English.

A good budget base for exploring the area

I ended up staying here for 5 nights and had a very relaxed stay. So the bathroom is small and a little musty, but it's a comfortable room so long as don't want a luxury hotel experience. I had the budget ground floor room and spent most of my time outside. I suspect that the rooms on the higher floors would be a little better. Some have own balconies. The hotel also has a great terrace with sea and mountain room, as well as a comfortable lounge area. Restaurant was not open - probably would be in high season, but there is a sister hotel a few doors down where breakfast is served. A great base to explore an awesome region. It is what is is, a budget hotel.

Nice clean hotel, lovely views in a lovely resort.

Hotel staff helpful and luckily an English girl worked there, as my French is limited! Breakfast is good value. My room was big enough and the pool clean. Also there is parking for a hire car.

Very basic but clean

The hotel was basic but ok if you just want to sleep. Don't plan to spend the entire day in the room. Room was clean. Breakfast wasn't great: Frozen bread and croissant, instant coffee for 7€.

Personne à la réception de l'hôtel. Il faut aller chercher la clé dans un autre hôtel. Le petit déjeuner se prend dans une boulangerie à 100 m de l'hôtel. Salle de bain très petite et matelas peu confortable. Par contre l'hôtel est très bien situé
