Great location and within walking distance to transit and all the sites in the old town center. The rooms are clean and spacious with will equipped kitchen. Staff is very friendly. We would stay here again if the opportunity arises.

8/10 Very good

Nice apartment, ideal for touring Porto. Close to shopping areas and restaurants. Suggest "Caralhau" and the Cafe Majestic. Close to Bolhao market and all public transportation. The 4th floor apartment (5th for US citizens) and stairs required a bit of a workout with the luggage. A preparation to tour Porto and VNG ;-)

Excellent location, room and service
This was in the PERFECT spot to walk to major attractions, food and entertainment. We drove from Lisbon and parked in the provided parking and left our car there for the entire trip. The hotel has a great parking deal worked out with the garage and it was very affordable. Take the time to park on the lower levels and you will find plenty of parking. The green safari room was adorable and had comfortable beds (mattresses), plenty of room to enjoy and was bright with lots of windows and lamps. The room was clean and the bedding and towels were crisp and smelled fresh. The small kitchen was perfect for quick meals. This was a 5 out of 5 and we will return. The loft has a ladder to get up to and our 24 year old daughter was able to climb up and enjoyed the privacy of the loft room.
