If you’re coming to Porto, this is definitely the place to stay! The location right by the river is absolutely beautiful. The place itself was much bigger than we anticipated, was clean and well stocked. The communication with our host was faultless. They sent detailed check in instructions including a video of where the property was. They were very accommodating and friendly. We would recommend to anyone 10/10

The location was amazing. The staff were so helpful and charming. Our room was perfect and the maid service was wonderful. The breakfast was the best we’ve ever had in a hotel. We just had a really special time

The hotel has a spectacular position overlooking the river and historical centre of Porto. Service was excellent and not overbearing. Breakfast and dining generally were high quality. The outside pool area is lovely. You can walk down to the river direct from the hotel, where there are a lot of bars and restaurants - it is however quite a steep path, so perhaps not suitable for all. Thoroughly recommended.

Book it now whilst you can. This is the best hotel in Porto. I've travelled the world and this is one of the best places I have stayed. Still under the radar...but not for long! Stunning.

Well located hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Free coffee and cake available from about 2PM as you check in. Good sized room. Hotel is actually a part of the historic St. Francis church, so large stone walls in the lobby and restaurant area.

We stayed in a gorgeous room (suite) for four nights. It had a huge sitting area and a lovely big balcony with a great view.
It wasn’t far from the old town and was a really nice walk along the river to get to everywhere.
Great breakfasts, stunning rooftop bar, and a nice spa for a little wind down time too. Particularly loved the free items from the mini bar and the birthday cake, they gave my sister.
Highly recommend.

What a wonderful place to stay. Beautiful new apartments with glorious views of Ribeira across the river. If you want to feel romantic then just stay here. Wake up open the curtains and just take it all in. Absolute Perfection.
Make sure you hire bikes (and/or bike tour) and explore the coastline either side of the river. Do a port tasting tour (Taylors v good), eat sardines anywhere and they will be sensational and ensure you visit the lovely Afaruda fishing village.

This was an AMAZING experience. We loved the people, customer service, breakfast, coffee, location and of course the apt. It was a great spot for a girlie reunion. Obrigada Porto!

This is the perfect hotel in the perfect location, everything worth seeing is a brief walking distance away and the Trindade train station is a short walk away to make the airport to hotel journey (and vice versa) very easy. The best thing about this hotel is the staff, the exceptional customer services across the reception, the breakfast room and the room cleaning services. All staff are a credit to this hotel and it was nice to be remembered from my previous stay as that was a nice welcome...
