My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room had a nice lounge, spacious bedroom, and a well-equipped bathroom, although lacking an easy chair. The balcony was tiny but enjoyable, offering a lovely sea view. The service was super friendly and helpful, even providing a takeaway breakfast for our early flight. The location was great, with easy access to the center by tram or bus, but a bit far from downtown's vibrant dining scene. The dining experience was really good, with a generous selection of options. The facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel is in a nice location close to the coast with easy access to the city center. The rooms, despite being a bit small and dark, had all the necessary amenities, yet lacked a cozy feel. The service was a mix of helpfulness and bluntness. The dining options offered good choices but had some letdowns. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The location was fabulous with easy access to the sea and river. The dining was average due to limited options. The facilities were satisfactory overall.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the location was convenient, close to the beach and restaurants, the room was disappointing with a lack of sea view and odd smells. The service was friendly, although there were some signs of hastiness. The dining options were below expectations, but the facilities were satisfactory.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, just a 2-minute walk away from the beach, and the view of the Atlantic Ocean is breathtaking. The rooms were ideal with a lovely view over the sea and the river, although I did face the street initially, the staff promptly moved me to a better room. The dining experience was varied and delicious, offering a wide selection with fresh fruit, pastries, yogurts, and more. The service was fantastic with staff eager to maximize our Porto experience, but there were some issues with adjusting the temperature in the room. Despite the minor inconveniences, the price was reasonable for the value provided.
