This is a wonderful hotel directly on the canal. The staff is amazing. Couples massage was wonderful. We were treated like royalty after a bad experience in Porto in the Portus Cale Hotel. Highly recommend this hotel, it was exceptional!

Great location for interacting with the city, birdwatching at the salt fields, and collaborating with the university. The rooms are hot at night Note that the windows open to let in cool air.
This property is outstanding ! The location is perfect and the service is impeccable. All the staff is super friendly, the room was great and the breakfast delicious and plenty.
I highly recommended this hotel.
The location was great, very walkable to shops and restaurants. We appreciate the covered parking which was very secure. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and extra pillows were available. There was plenty of closet and storage space. We appreciated having coffee/tea available in the room with the kettle. The bathroom was clean with a very nice shower and good size countertop for storing toiletries.
One of the best things was the restaurant and bar in the hotel. We enjoyed a light meal at the bar the night of our arrival; friendly service and excellent food. The breakfast buffet was terrific, great food quality and selection. The full english breakfast was a special treat that we don't get to enjoy very often. Food items were fresh, replenished regularly and staff kept tables clean between guests.
Staff members were friendly, polite and helpful.
