missingWrote a review on 03 Decgreat locationlack of bathroom privacy
The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the city, allowing for easy access to various attractions within walking distance.
The bathroom walls are made of glass, which compromises privacy when using the facilities.

Reasons to love it – and reasons not to
Location is superb, allowing easy access to attractions and restaurants. The friendly, around-the-clock staff exude warmth, providing valuable local insights.
Rooms display an outdated charm and lack certain amenities, like a mini fridge. The glass-walled bathrooms might not suit everyone’s privacy preferences.

Location superb for exploring attractions. Clean rooms with enough space for comfort.
No elevator from street level to reception, which is a hassle with luggage. Lack of noise isolation means hearing everything from neighboring rooms. Bathroom walls are glass, compromising privacy, and blackout curtains aren't effective for sleeping in darkness.

fantastic central stay for exploring all porto has to offer
I spent two nights in this hotel, and the stay was quite pleasant as it's incredibly close to amazing attractions like Cais da Ribeira and the bustling Mercado do Bolhao, both just a short walk away, making every city stroll an enjoyable adventure.

while the location was adequate, I was horrified to find that my room had two twin beds instead of a queen, and I wasn't even offered a room upgrade to compensate for this 'oversight'. I mean, the shower leaked all over too. I just couldn't give this place a better review.

Staying here with my adult children was a lot of fun. The location couldn't be better, right in the heart of Porto where we explored amazing sites and enjoyed local culture. Our room was spacious, providing a cozy space for family time, plus, having a fridge was super convenient.
My kids wished there were more family-friendly activities available at the hotel.

The location is fantastic, allowing easy access to all main attractions with just a short walk. The room was clean and spacious enough for comfort, and having the iron in the room for the entire stay was a helpful touch. The hotel is situated in an area away from the crowded streets, making it a pleasant escape while still being centrally located.
The bathroom's glass walls might not suit everyone's privacy preferences.
