Such a cute and charming place. The building is older and that shows, but if you love history and architecture than it's lovely. They have worked hard on updating and it shows. Is it a luxury resort? No, but it is a quaint and lovely place to stay. The staff is so much fun and the breakfast is simple but very good. The location is absolutely wonderful. Not directly in the tourist area so fairly quite, but so close and the walk is easy.

The only negative I can really think of are the towels. They weren't the greatest, but in the grand scheme of things it really didn't matter.

Clean and characterful property. Friendly and helpful staff. Room functional and adequate for the three night stay I had. Would have been so for a slightly longer booking also, in my view. Excellent shower. Extremely good value for money. Central position for our plans. Less than 30 minutes walk to Ribeira, and not too steep back from there. Less than 10 minutes walking from Lapa or Trindade Metro stations.

Only there for three nights, but my travelling companion would have appreciated some storage for her clothes rather than the racks provided. Not something which concerned me for a short stay. Am making this comment only for other's information so there are no surprises.

The Hotel is in a beautiful old building. There are not a lot of rooms, so also at breakfast it is not really crowded. It is directly at the main road at President Place but our room was toward the back, so it was really quiet. Our room had a great balcony with sunbathing chairs overlooking parts of the city. Breakfast choice is small but made with love. There are always fresh fruits available. There is a grocery store about 100 meters away.

Since it is an old building, rooms are not noise proof. Not that it was disturbing, just something that people should know. Walking into the city means that you have to walk a bit along a busy road on small sidewalks for probably 500 meters. It is not directly in the center but you can walk to the main downtown attractions.There are no hot dishes for breakfast (apart from Toast) Bathroom was pretty large but there was not really space created to put the toiletries.

Loved that it was an old mansion and still had a lot of the features. It was clean and comfortable and all the staff were exceptional. The location was easy to find and easy to get to all the sights in Porto. Would definitely stay here again.

Unfortunately due to the nature of the building and because we were there in the early spring it was very windy, and the noise coming in at the side window disturbed our sleep. Which wasn’t good 🙁 It sounded like a freight train whistling through. Then also when the wind was bad at the terrace doors they just rattled all night !! So another disturbed night which took until the early hours before could sleep ie after 3am ! Reception did try to see if they could fix the whistling window but not successful due to nature of the building . Also surprised no heated towel rail or radiator in the bathroom. This meant had to have towels changed daily as we couldn’t have dried them to reuse like we would normally do to do our bit for saving the planet.

The hotel is located a little away from all the crowds, close to stores and cafes. We really liked the hotel's architecture, it's decorated with taste. The personnel was nice and friendly. The room had air-conditioning which is an important thing during summer. The size of a room was fine.

We had a room on the first floor overlooking the main street and it was really noisy during the night, so basically we couldn't open the window and had to sleep with air-con on and as a result got sick. Additionally, the Wifi wasn't simply working in our room.

Location was good for being out of the thick of the crowds yet still walkable to a lot of main attractions. It was also a short walk to the local tram stop. We were thankful to find a cute playground a couple blocks from the hotel on the way to the tram stop. We liked the charm of the older building. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was very good and just enough to keep us satisfied for the morning. We were travelling with our young son and they were able to set up a rollaway bed for him.

We booked the superior room with a terrace which did not disappoint. We stayed for a few days in early July and were delighted by how clean, spacious, and comfortable the room was (with blackout shades). The building itself was very unassuming on the outside but quite beautiful on the inside, with a little bar area and 24/7 concierge, and even a little tray of fresh local pastries (for free) to nibble on at any point. The staff was friendly, helpful, and our room was changed over fresh every day. The terrace was a nice touch and offered a nice outside space to relax with a glass of wine when getting ready to go out for dinner. Bathroom was newly updated. The air conditioner was reliable and cold (which you can't always find in a European hotel room). The location was great, though be prepared to walk 20+ minutes to the riverfront - however it is really close to a busy strip with restaurants and night spots that cater to a young, vibrant crowd. We would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Porto for a few days!

The window sill in the bathroom was wood, and based on its location (in the shower), I would recommend that the hotel replace it with something that would be easier to maintain, since water from the shower gets on the wood and can make it moldy. The terrace/glass balcony wall should be checked for cleanliness as it was covered in bird poop before we even got there.

very attractive building kept in good order. clean airy pleasant room. Comfortable bed with quality bedlinen. Excellent powerful shower. Helpful staff. A few homeless people in square but not aggressive or worrying even late at night. Much worse in San Francisco ! a few streets south of hotel many excellent restaurants that appeared more for residents and students than tourists which was nice.

no chair in room. no art in room. no milk or dry substitute in room for tea/coffee. breakfast rather basic - orange juice very poor for a country that grows citrus fruit. dreadful whining noise from pedestrian crossing outside made it impossible to leave window open at night. this is eliminated if the double glazed window is shut, and there is air con, but I prefer fresh air.

Very friendly and helpful stuff! My children really liked especially one man. Nice breakfast however every time was the same.

I think the biggest disadvantage of our room (i did not see other room therefore i cannot generalize) was the cleanliness. The room looked much better on the photos, but in real there was stains on the carpet and mold on the windows, in the shower and toilet

Amazing hotel in the heart of Porto, in beautiful old renovated building, with private parking, and clean rooms with all necessary facilities. But the most important part of this hotel is staff! The gentleman on reception is a pure gem of this place! Totally recommend and definitely will stay here next time!
