Room was great but you’ve got to know that if you are driving and plan to park, it’s hard. The entry is incredibly narrow. Larger cars absolutely will not fit. The way out is better as you will be aimed right, but if you don’t pull in correctly from the street you are in trouble. TROUBLE. Pull in and hug the left side, do not center the car on entry or you have to adjust, heading downhill around a curve. We joked we had to live there forever because we wouldn’t get the car back out after getting it in. Renault Captur, maybe 6 inches clearance on either side. If you are used to driving in extremely tight spaces you will be fine or if have a Smart car otherwise just park on the street. Anyways, the location is awesome can walk to the Ribiera area and others easily. The garden, pool, hottub are incredible. Secret Garden vibes. You can have breakfast delivered, nice. The room was clean, really tasteful, huge windows that opened over the garden courtyard area. Friendly and helpful staff. The road it is on doesn’t look great if arriving at night like we did but in the AM it was much better. Urban area- places open in the AM making street cuter. We walked out of the area each day and loved our stay. Porto is great, I would come back and rent a smaller car (laughing and crying at the memory, such a good story)

Property was great value, walkable to all the main sites of Porto. Had the studio room which was stunning for the price. Can’t really complain.

This was the best place we've stayed at on our trip! The apartment is so spacious (it has 2 bathrooms!) and beautifully decorated. It's well equipped with modern facilities, yet still reserves the old charms. The building also has a lovely backyard with a pool. The location is perfect - close to most attractions and a few min walk to Capela das Almas de Santa Catarina and Bolhão market. Highly recommend!

Lovely older style hotel with a winding wooden staircase up the middle. The elevator/lifts worked well. Service: Great service from the friendly front desk staff. Special shout-out to Vinicius, who was particularly friendly and helpful. Room: The room was on the main floor with a kitchen, living room/lounge, and half bath. Bedroom and full bath one floor down. Very spacious, clean, with cleaning staff every second day. Bathrooms: Half bath was clean and modern. Lower level bathroom had a sink, toilet, shower, and towel drying heater. Modern and clean. Noise Levels: Very quiet. Our room faced the main road, but we didn't notice any noise. Internet: Unsecured, which was concerning. Location: 5-minute walk to the grocery store, 10-minute walk to the major metro station. Great location, 15-minute walk to Ribeira and other attractions. Cafes and restaurants nearby. Amenities: Lovely back courtyard with a pool. Too chilly to use the pool, but enjoyed sitting outside with a drink. Kitchen: Reasonably well-equipped, but the knives were not sharp. No larger style coffee mugs. Value for Money: Good value for the price given its amenities and location. Safety: Felt very safe in the hotel and surrounding area. Extras: Small gym and comfortable lounge area. I would definitely return.

We checked in quite late on our check in day, there was no hotel staff to meet us but this was pre-conditioned in the information provided prior to our trip. Our apartment was on the street level, with our windows directly next to the pavement. We didn't feel very safe, people kept walking past and hitting our windows. We decided to keep them shut, which was another problem as when we had arrived, the radiators were all on and at max heat. The whole apartment was baking, very stuffy and uncomfortable. The towels provided were just slightly bigger than hand towels and there was only half of 1 roll of toilet paper. We stayed the night, but booked a different hotel for the rest of our trip and checked out the following morning. Also, as a side note, the ramp down to the parking garage is VERY tight and very steep. Our car (Ford Focus) only fit with the mirrors folded in and with very slow movements with guidance from my partner. We also burnt out the clutch on the drive out, as we had to wait for the gates to open and again had to slowly maneuver our way out the structure.

Very unconfortable bedroom with the bed placed at less than one metre from the roof and at the end of 9 steps. Ww had to slep on a sifa and a supplementary bed near the kitchen.

For being in the city and very close to the historic part of town it was excellent. People who complain about parking should have researched the area and Portugal in general. Small cars are a huge benefit. Thanks for a very cool vibe in a redone historical building

Booked this hotel due to convenience of having an onsite car park but was told that on day of checkout 5th Sep it may not be accessible so had to park elsewhere. Also was charged 30 euros for an additional person despite me informing in advance and the booking confirmation stating it is £16.13. Late checkout requested last night but they cannot confirm until this morning, so I need to go and ask again. Everybody else is ok and it is a nice apartment.

Spacious and clean property. Close to central Porto and the sights. The lounge area was a little disappointing as there wasn't enough comfortable seating for 4 people and the walls were bare and boring. It didn't really matter that much as we were out a lot but it was a shame as the apartment was very nice in all other ways. Great air con and wifi. The area around the hotel is quite ugly but then so is quite a bit of Porto. It's actually prettier, in my view, staying in the Villa Nova de Gaia as then you have a nice view of the terracotta roofs. I would not recommend anyone to park in the car park. I was driving a compact SEAT leon and the entrance to the car park was only just accessible if i turned in the wing mirrors and had 3 people guiding me in. It is also incredibly steep adding to the stress on the experience together with incredibly narrow parking spots when you eventually get though. There were numerous vehicles in the car park with scrapes along the sides of their cars or wing mirrors hanging off. Best to either avoid bringing a car or park in one of the public car parks because it is a horrendous parking experience!

Absolutely love staying here. Our apartment was so comfortable, amazingly designed and truly perfect for a family of 5. Will definitely go back next time we are in Porto. Everything was close and easy to walk to. The front desk people were so helpful and friendly. The garden and the pool were a gem.

A lovely apartment hotel near to the market and public transport. A lot of great local bars and restaurants very nearby. I would not hesitate to stay again. Up to you if you want the breakfast, it’s fairly basic and there are such nice cafes and bakeries near by you could pop out for fresh pastry and the like easily every morning.
