I stayed at the hotel for 7 nights. The reception area and people working the desk were very helpful with directions and/or arranging tours. I appreciated the free internet use in the lobby (2 PCs are set up for the use of guests) as well as the full buffet breakfast which was included. The hotel is 1/2 block from a... More

Conveniently reachable from the airport with metro, the hotel is just behind the corner of the 24 Agosto metro stop. I also found very efficient and cheap to use taxis, which were very quick to arrive after asking for it at the hotel reception. The hotel is modern. The room was clean and nicely decorated. The view is stunning if... More

Stayed here for one night as we were attending a football match at Porto's ground which was nearby. A modern hotel with a very good Health Club on the 19th floor where you get a cracking view of the city. There is a charge to use the club of 5.5euros for half a day or 11euros a full day. You...

Good comfortable stay for a short visit (3days) of Porto. Conveniently located, can walk to city center. Breakfast buffet is good. There is an excellent restaurant serving local food across the street " restaurante triunfante 2" The only drawback for this hotel is its lack of wi-fi. The triple standard room with an extra cot is a little bit small.... More

We stayed again on the Hotel for one night. We had a reservation for a superior room, but as the hotel was full, the staff offered a night on a junior suite and the free parking at the hotel’s garage. The room was very big and the quality was good. It also has a big bathroom and an extra living... More

I stayed for 2 nights, the bed is small, pillows are not good and the walls are so thin you can hear pretty much what's happening on the next room, so forget a "good night sleep". Need s refurbishment. Staff is friendly, breakfast is fair enough. If you are on a high floor direction city you will have a great... More

The area as other reviewers have pointed out is not the nicest, but bear in mind that much of Porto is in a similiar, run down condition and although the hotel building is quite big the entrance by car is not clear, meaning that we had to drive around the zone for about 20 minutes before we chanced onto it....

Lovely hotel in a quiet area, staff were very helpful and courteous. Metro station is nearby but we did have a bit of a walk to find the "city tour bus stop"-- bus tour was excellent and there are lots of restaurants around there. We found a great restaurant just opposite the hotel very typically Portugese in decor and choice... More
