This is a perfect location and perfect hotel to make your stay in Porto an incredible memory.
Location on the pedestrian only Rua Oca Flores was perfect. Two minute walk to Sao Bento train Station. Fifteen minute walk to the Ribeira. The Courtyard and raised patio with an incredible view of Porto.

Comfortable stay in great location
Great location, nice staff, large and very comfortable bed. The hotel is on a pedestrian street, so Uber drops you off at the nearby street, about 50 m away. Which is not a problem, it’s just that we couldn’t see the hotel from the car, that’s all. It’s something to be aware of.
Our room was dark. The interior design didn’t look like 4 star hotel level although the necessary facilities were present. The bathtub was very scary (slippery) to get out. Maybe they should add a rubber mat to the bathroom. Breakfast was only ok: no yogurt and the fruit, when finished, was not replenished. I mean, it was a nice and comfortable stay, but the place lacks 4-star hotel chic, in my opinion

Very nice hotel, great location
Lovely spacious rooms, comfortable beds, beautiful garden with bathing fountain!😃 Excellent location for sightseeing, restaurants etc
Breakfast was expensive at €15 per person and was average food. You have to pay to use the spa pool-€15 per person.

Great central location, beautiful building, helpful staff
Very large room with great view of cathedral. Garden terrace was a great addition in the centre of the city with a brilliant plunge pool. Being on a pedestrianised road was great as much quieter though some delivery drivers and cars could get down. Fantastic central location and some really good restaurants just a short walk away. Reception staff were always happy to help.
The terrace bar was advertised as open between certain times but we struggled to raise any staff despite ringing the bell. Room decor was a little tired and needed attention as it looked like there had been a water leak in the bedroom ceiling and the shower design resulted in water leaking all over the floor which had caused historical damage to door floor and woodwork. Bathroom was ting for such a big room with toilet so close to the sink there was no room left. Breakfast service looked to be very slow with queues for everything especially the hot drinks which took ages to produce just one cup.

The location was excellent, the studio room was spacious and clean, and the courtyard area has excellent views. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in the door until the moment we left. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Porto.

Great location for a stay in Porto. Nice outdoor sitting areas
The location is very central to all attractions. Everything is within a 15-20 min walk.
The staff at the main desk did not help with our luggage, I was traveling with two older people and they didn’t even attempt to help us. Also the facilities could be updated

Wonderful hotel, great location and super spa
The hotel was fabulous, very well located on the Rua de Flores, which can get quite busy, however the hotel was an oasis of calm and peace. The roof garden and bar were excellent, great views from the garden from which you can see the cathedral and Clérigos tower. We went to the spa, the Roman bath was wonderful. The staff were all amazing and friendly. The hotel is very close to Sao Bento train and metro stations.
There was a very slight problem with the coffee machine in the room, which we reported and the staff said they would replace. The street does get very busy but our room was very quiet and peaceful.

Not to mention the absolutely stunning garden terrace on the top floor with a bar overlooking the rooftops of Porto! Definitely highly recommend! Location very central!
Everything was wonderful!

The hotel is nice and right on a Main Street in the centre of Porto.
The Hotel was in an excellent location right in the city centre, only a five minute walk to the main shopping street, and right beside many excellent restaurants. I had a family room with a terrace that led onto the rooftop garden and bar. There was a spa situated in floor three. The charge for using the spa was €15 per person. The staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel was very clean our room was cleaned daily.
As there were four in our family I thought the daily charge of €15 per person for the use of the spa was expensive. The Spa was quite small and felt very enclosed and warm. The hot breakfast every morning looked like it was lying in dishes for quite some time and was cold. The tea and coffee machine and toaster were not working on two mornings that we were at breakfast. I felt the breakfast was very poor overall.

Location is super and our villa was up on the 4th floor with a beautiful garden in front and Porto city in the background, absolutely loved the tranquility of it yet right in the heart of this beautiful city
The apartment could do with more ware, cups, plates, glasses, a wine bottle opener etc

Great apartment with STUNNING views
My husband and I traveled around Spain and Portugal for 3 weeks and this was our favorite hotel. We had the 'superior apartment with city view' and the views were absolutely incredible! The apartment was on the top floor so we didn't have anyone above us and the balcony was great for enjoying a drink and looking over the city of Porto. The garden space was very large and nice to have in such a busy city as well. The hotel gave us a free welcome drink when we arrived and we enjoyed it in the peaceful garden space. The apartment itself was very large and spacious and the bedroom also had a view of the cathedral. Everything was clean and the bed was very comfortable.
The top floor cannot be accessed by elevator so you have to take the elevator to the 4th floor and then walk upstairs to the 5th. This was not a problem for us but something to keep in mind if you have mobility issues.
