Porto was the last city that I visited in a twelve days tour Portugal. Hotel is located at historic part of the town, known as "Cais da Ribeira", in the banks of Douro River. My room (deluxe) has incredible views of river and Vila Nova de Gaia, the city located in the other bank of Douro river, where are the winery's headquarters that manufacture the famous Port's wine. Hotel is very pleasant. Large and clean room, with big windows that provided great natural illumination all day long. Very comfortable bed. But bathroom seems aged and needs some improvements therefore some equipments (shower, tap, hair dryer) are jaded. Very friendly and diligent staff. Good bar and average restaurant (great views, once again). No problems with breakfast (included in my rate), but is not so good if you compare with others hotels in Portugal. There are several good restaurants few steps from hotel. I recomend Don Tonho, excellent portuguese food. Overall, hotel is a great choice in Porto.

Great location make sure you book room with river view as it made our stay, staff all friendly and helpful, breakfast was buffet all very good and was topped up continually. Did not have dinner in hotel as there were so many good restaurants in walking distance on river front did not have a bad meal in any place and great for people watching and relaxing outdoors at lunchtime. Went on hop/off/on bus gave good overview off city on first day, stop just up steep hill at back of hotel!! Went on rickety tram and new metro all so easy to find and use, best trip was river day trip went down by train then back by boat, well worth the money so relaxing. Taxi rank in front off hotel so no walking up steep hill, very handy. Porto takes some geting used to on first impression but really grew on us especially heritage water front. Think the position of hotel made our holiday break would not consider staying anywhere else if returning to Porto.
