The hotel has a great location, close to the Port tasting houses, and offers very comfortable and modern rooms. While the uphill trek might be challenging for some, the downhill walk to Furada and along the river adds to its charm. The dining experience is a mixed bag with fresh and varied options but with room for improvement. Overall, a pleasant stay with friendly staff and lovely views.

The hotel is in a cozy location, near vila nova de Gaia Central, with small but very comfortable rooms. The service was friendly and helpful. The dining experience offered fresh options but was a bit disappointing for an international hotel chain. The facilities were convenient, catering to all required amenities.

The hotel's rooms are fresh and modern, very well soundproofed against the highway noise, but a bit small. The service was outstanding, making the stay feel like home with attentive and friendly staff. The location is a mix of convenience and isolation, as it offers a scenic walk to the center but lacks good public transportation options. The dining experience was a mix of exceptional and moderate dishes. Overall, a good value for money with some areas that could be improved.

The hotel offers a great view and easy access to Porto, making it an ideal choice for a single traveler. However, the lingering smoke smell in non-smoking areas can be off-putting at times.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms had everything you need, were very well, clean, and comfortable. Parking is available, and there's even a spacious closet in the room. The service was top-notch, very nice and accommodating. The location, while not ideal if you're planning to visit Porto, offers a nice little garden and a lovely breakfast setup. The dining experience, though limited, was really good with seasonal vegetables. Overall, a great value for money.
