The property itself is gorgeous and there were numerous staff members who were super helpful and engaging. However, the front desk staff that checked us in was very moody and gave direct one word answers to questions. The free bottle of wine was a 5Euro bottle which in all honesty was pretty terrible. The breakfast is extremely average and only it took a while to get any coffee/egg orders in

Lovely Stay auspicious Start

Stay was very nice, service was great once checked in and property is lovely. The only issue was at check in. Somehow even though there were 3 people at reception they had to call someone to check us in and we had to wait for that person for more than 20 minutes. We arrived well after the normal check in time, during the day.

Beautiful hotel & a wonderful taste of luxury for us. The only issue was the location, which I hadn't researched properly before booking. The hotel offer a free service into the city late morning with a pick up early eve, otherwise it's taxi's. Be sure to download and use the uber app. it works well and makes taxi's much more affordable. The drivers and service we had were all v good.

Somewhat Disappointed

Though the hotel was gorgeous, it somehow lacked the warmth of comfort we were expecting. Check-in was odd the way it was off to the side, and nobody really helped us with any of our questions. A concierge was not around, and any question we had was just quickly and somewhat apathetically answered. In fact, nobody even told us we could buy our train tickets to Lisbon online, which would have prevented a rush that resulted in my person boarding the train without me. The breakfast was wonderful, and we decided to make a dinner reservation for the hotel restaurant. There were only 2 other tables with people, yet we were told that we had to sit across from each other, even though there was a bench that so easily could have been pulled out so that we could have sat next to each other. The hostess said that it would get in the way if somebody sat there, yet there was nobody there. We were at the Epic Sana in Lisbon afterwards, and we returned to Porto for one extra day and stayed at the GA Palace. Those experiences were so much superior, and, when we returned to Porto for the last night, the concierge came running to us to give us all sorts of ideas for the last day. Honestly, we didn't even know that another part of Porto existed. Perhaps if we were there as part of a convention or were able to use the magnificent infinity pool (it was raining the whole time), our stay might have been perfect. The room was perfect, but the overall feeling just lacked warmth.
