The hotel is in a great location in Gaia across river from Porto. We could walk to Porto center crossing the bridge and had a great tour. The facility is excellent with modern amenities. The service was not as good as other hotels we stayed in Portugal. The staff was courteous but bit remote.

Breakfast menu was varied and fresh but would like to have seen more vegetarian options for dinner and an earlier dining time - currently 7.30pm. Staff were wonderful and helpful; room was very clean and comfortable.

Overall, it was a good stay. Receptionist was friendly and informative. The room was clean but a little too warm for my liking. There was no AC as they transition to heaters during the winter. No big deal. Also, there was only one little trash can in the bathroom. A second one in the living area ...

Fun area - all the major port houses within 20-30 minutes walk of each other, even with all the up-hills and down-hills. And many smaller ones as well which can be even more fun to visit! Lots of great restaurants/outdoor dining along the river.
