Highlights

Awards: Travelers' Choice 2023 - 16th best hotel globally

Rooms: Custom configurations with historic decor or modern design

Amenities: Complimentary MiFi devices & pet-friendly policy

Dining: Breakfast buffet with local food culture emphasis

Location: 2-minute walk to Ribeira Square & riverfront

“The architecture makes a strong first impression; the hotel spreads across two buildings while still respecting the historic Ribeira district. Inside, the rich local food culture shines during the breakfast buffet, and the pet-friendly policy is a nice touch. Though some may find the stairs challenging, the central location more than compensates, placing you steps from the Douro River and Porto's best.”

Balanced experience

heavy draped curtains coffee machine velvet chairs narrow one-way street depleted selection breakfast replenishment

The room was beautifully appointed. I appreciated heavy draped curtains, a coffee machine, a writing desk, and velvet chairs. Breakfast focused on quality (especially the fresh fruit) over quantity.

Uber drivers would not pick up in front of the hotel. This was due to the narrow one-way street. I found it very inconvenient on a rainy day.

elevator noise rattling air conditioning

the room wasnt great. i had requested a quiet room but got one right next to the elevators, this meant constant noise all night. also, the air conditioning made a loud rattling noise that kept me awake. these two things really affected my sleep. i mentioned it at reception, but they just shrugged.
