Really like this hotel and the staff are great. Room is lovely. Only issue is driving during the busy summer season in Porto is brutal and finding parking was challenging. If you are without a car, this place is perfect, on a walking street by all attractions and tons of restaurants. But hotel is fantastic

Centrally located boutique hotel in downtown Porto. Just a few meters from the Douro River and tourist restaurants. Only downside is it is quite noisy in the evenings. Clean & modern. Highly recommended.

Property had an industrial boutique feel. Staff were lovely, room was very clean and comfortable. Beds were great! Quirky decor and excellent bathroom. Had a very early checkout so got a shock with cold shower. Rang reception and they switched on the hot water. Would have been good to have known to request this in advance. Breakfast was fresh & plentiful.

Unique entrance at area taxis cannot enter (but they can drop you at the top of the hill very near by). Breakfast was exceptional with all the choices. Room was quiet and clean. Beautiful tapestries and old shoes as decorations in our room. Nice corner cushioned nook to rest on. Two twin beds. Excellent place. Would return.
