A wonderful hotel, quiet hotel in the heart of Porto. Now out go to spot when we are in town. Out only annoyance on this trip was the hotel wanting an early check in fee of 30 euros even though our room was ready for us to occupy anyway.

Great location with local restaurants and river views. A 15 min downhill walk from metro station but we only used the metro for the airport and everything else very walkable. Staff helpful and breakfast plentiful.
