This beautifully kept and comfortable hotel had a very central setting close to all main attractions. And we were close to Sao Bento train station which was really useful for day trips away, the Celeste cafe by the bus stop and the center of Porto. The breakfast had a wide range of options, including cereals, pastries, fruit, eggs, and slices of fresh bread.

The location of the hotel was particularly good - a 10-15 minute walk from an iconic metal bridge. You could walk to a bakery and shops. Double superior unit on the lower floors, we really enjoyed it.
The room was very small.

Enjoyed the place, had a such great stay for 5 nights. The staff members were all accommodating and pleasant. The room was budget, with a private bathroom. The location was top, for example, a hilltop Romanesque cathedral was not too far from the hotel. Moreover, the area was good. The train station was close to the property.

We appreciated location and rooms, it had everything that we wanted for our trip. Right by the downtown, 5 minutes on foot. We ordered lunch at Flor dos Congregados, located a short walk to the venue. We would definitely book again as the hotel suited our needs.
