4 minute walk from the train station, nice size room, friendly staff. Good breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon (Portuguese style a little undercooked for me), fruit, bread, cheeses and lunchmeat ham. A little far from the downtown area, staff says 10 minute walk we thought more like 15 or so. Town itself is cute, but saying it is the "Venice... More

This is a very safe choice for those wanting quick access to the train station to visit Porto or Coimbra. Clean, friendly, free choclate, port, wi fi in the lobby. Great bakery across the street for breakfast which we loved. The train station is great here and an excellent way to see Porto More

What more could one ask? Oh yes! Breakfast (included) was very good indeed, including fresh, fresh bread and rolls, which is not always... More

A gentleman who worked on staff was very helpful opening a bottle of wine and getting glasses for us so we could enjoy a night cap... More

I stayed here for four nights, and was really impressed. The rooms are very spacious and sparkling clean - and the staff are very helpful. In fact they gave out better information than the tourist office about train and bus timetables, things to do in the area, etc. I don´t normally like chain hotels, but the Mercure was great. Couldn´t... More
