Fantastic view
We picked this place because we had a car and they had parking. Free! Parking is available in the hotel under ground garage or in the hotel parking lot. We did not have any meals here, but they have a restaurant and bar on site. We had a view of Porto and the ocean, ask for a high floor. We had two single beds, but they were together like a king. When traveling in Europe we will go with single beds if they don’t have a king because other wise the beds are too small. Room was clean, staff was great. No microwave, but we had a refrigerator (no freezer) and a kettle. No coffee maker, but out of the 3 hotels we’ve stayed at on this trip it’s the first that a kettle in the room.

2/10 Poor

I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. I arrived at the hotel 1.5 hours before the official check-in time, hoping to check in early, but the receptionist refused to accommodate me. I understand that early check-in is not always possible, but the way the receptionist handled the situation was completely unprofessional. They were rude and dismissive, offering no explanation or alternative solution. To make matters worse, when the actual check-in time came around, my room still wasn't ready. I ended up waiting well past the check-in time before finally being allowed into my room. The lack of organization and poor customer service left a bad impression, and I certainly won't be staying here again. Avoid this place if you value your time and expect decent service.

Decent family stay but catered to business clients
Location within walking distance to many amenities, parks, shops, restaurants and cafes. Room was very large and quiet with a fridge and 2 bottles of complimentary water and free, reliable wifi. Food for purchase from the bar and restaurant was excellent as were the servers. We did not try the buffet breakfast. Whatever you do, do NOT order room service no matter how exhausted you may be. We were shocked at the poor quality of what we received for breakfast and there is a surcharge. Food was stale, dry and poor quality as if it was prepared hours earlier or reheated from yesterday's leftovers though it was not hot at all. We received hard, dry french fries when we thought we would receive breakfast potatoes, they missed our order of eggs, bacon and sausage was hard and inedible as well. What we thought we fresh fruit bowls were full of liquid and soggy as if dumped from a can. It almost seemed as if they were insulted by our request and gave us the restaurants leftovers from the previous day. Needless to say we couldn't eat most of it - what a waste! Other con is there is nothing to do on site for families if tired or need downtime (i.e. a pool). The tv in the room kept breaking up and cutting out and was unreliable. The lobby is nice for lounging as there are a few areas with couches for hanging out and a few tvs showcasing sports as well.
