I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, right in the center of Porto near the main square. The rooms are cozy and clean with a newly refurbished bathroom on the lower floors. The service was top-notch with great amenities and a pleasant staff. The dining experience, although offering delicious Asian dishes, could have had more variety. Overall, a great value for money!

The hotel is located in the center of Porto, within minutes from Trindade station, making it very convenient for transportation. The rooms are situated on the lower floors and feature newly refurbished bathrooms, offering a comfortable stay with a balcony for a nice outdoor space. The service provided, while accommodating, lacks some key offerings. The dining experience, although inclusive of finger food, may not meet all expectations. This hotel provides basic facilities with a reasonable price point.

The service was impeccable, and the location couldn't have been better, right in the center of everything. The dining experience was superb, although a bit pricey. Overall, a great stay with a few small hiccups.
