Guest Review: Everything new, clean with top quality fittings. Stayed four nights. Breakfast was fantastic. Dinner was excellent, staff at the restaurant, check-in and door were all very helpful and friendly.
Guest Review: We stayed in the Royal Jacuzzi Suite, dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci. With its spacious and comfortable balcony, this room offers a view of the city and river that is absolutely breathtaking. There is a marquee canopy that shelters the balcony from intense, direct sun. The three-person outdoor jacuzzi is very clean, comfortable, and not over chlorinated. We really enjoyed lounging on this balcony! The room is elegant, modern, and tastefully decorated. It accommodated us well as three adult family members (2 parents with older child). In my opinion, this room is absolutely tops if you're planning a romantic get-away or special holiday. The hotel staff are super kind and helpful. The spa is worth a visit, too. We enjoyed a couples massage there. Danielly in Guest Relations was on the ball via WhatsApp to help us book dinner reservations at choice seafood restaurants around town, including 5 Oceanos, which we definitely recommend for an unforgettable dining experience. Overall, a lovely, memorable holiday weekend in beautiful Porto!!
Guest Review: The breakfast buffet was lovely - a wide range of options, with the choice of hot meals to order. The room was really quiet - we were opposite the lift and I was concerned that we would hear it but I didn't notice it. The location on a pedestrian street within walking distance of everywhere was great.
