La chambre trop exiguë

The location of the hotel is excellent, and easy to reach from the airport via the metro, with no change required. The room was also bigger than expected for a standard double room, which was a great surprise.

The ‘double bed’ was two twin beds pushed together, each with separate bedding.

This was our first time to Porto and we couldn't have got a better location as right in the middle of a shopping street near the Majestic Cafe and a short walk to the train station, which was great for the airport. Beautiful old hotel full of character. We stayed a week for B&B which was to our liking but maybe not a great selection for everyone. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Spacious room and spotless, daily room service . Very comfortable bed but have to say pillows like rocks! Would say not a great wifi service in the bedrooms. The only other criticism of the room was squeaky floor boards, hard not to make a noise going to the bathroom in the middle of the night! Would not hesitate to stay there again, we really enjoyed our stay.

Posizione perfetta, impossibile chiedere di meglio. In pieno centro in via Santa Catarina, a piedi ovunque, stazione São Bento, Ribeira e Torre dos Clérigos a pochi minuti. L'hotel è storico, mantiene un fascino d'altri tempi ma con camere eleganti, pulitissime e silenziose. Staff eccezionale, gentilissimo e sempre disponibile, dalla reception al ristorante. Colazione abbondante con prodotti locali di qualità e la terrazza all'ultimo piano è un plus bellissimo per un drink al tramonto. Per 4 notti ci siamo sentiti a casa.
