The hotel is difficult to locate, Google maps takes you to one street over. When you find the front door it looks like an apartment entrance in a row of shops. Then you have to climb stairs. But it is worth the effort. Great staff and service. Lots of character and very clean.

This hotel is perfectly located to visit Porto on foot. The rooms are good and the staff is super nice and helpful. The parking via catarina less than 100 meters is not excessive (22€ for 2 days). I can only recommend this hotel

Very welcoming and comfortable

Very friendly staff was very welcoming. We had a loooong flight. We got settled in our room before enjoying some delicious Port and cake. We received a map and personal recommendations on where to visit. Breakfast was fabulous! Would highly recommend. My son and I stayed here after flying into Porto and before beginning our Camino journey in Baiona.

Very good location. Be careful or you’ll pass right by it. The front door looks like a door to an apartment. The name is on the door. If you arrive before check in, they have a very comfortable lounge to wait at. A very convenient grocery store is just down the block from the hotel. Very walkable to many sights.

A lovely stay here. A good-sized room and bathroom with a comfortable bed and mini-bar. Really friendly staff and a welcome drink with cake on arrival! They gave us good recommendations for restaurants and boat trips on the Douro River. We stayed here for a week and really enjoyed it. We would definitely stay here again.

The location is in the heart of the city. Parking can be an issue but the staff know of a few spots for a decent rate. Rooms are large and have everything you need. The staff are amazing, even helped me figure out the Portuguese highway toll system. No elevator., but a dumb waiter for luggage. Well appointed breakfast included as well.
