I’ve stayed 5 nights at this hotel, since my house was being rebuilt.

This hotel is not brand new and, at the first instance, you might become sad for your choice; since carpets are old and furnisher is obsolete. Even the bar has an old furnisher.

I was thinking on voting with the value 3.

But, then I’ve reminded that this hotel has great facilities: it has a nice (interior) pool, a small gym, sauna, Turk bath... for FREE, for their guests. It also has a very good breakfast, with fresh bread, croissants, eggs, bacon, yogurts and some fruit.

All people are very nice, which is important to make you feel good. Another thing that I’ve liked was: besides the automobile park being night open (and at the city center), I’ve liked the idea of a guard (nice man) being around our cars, seeking if everything is OK.

So, I’ve decided for the value 4.

Good value all be it that the hotel in places is a little tired and outdated, that said the hotel is comfortable and everything works

The staff are friendly and go out of their way to be helpful

The food (both dinner and Breakfast ) was good

The pool was ok but required a 7 Euro swimming cap to be allowed to use it

Car parking was Free but the hotel a problem to locate from the airport – the good news is that the locals went out of their way to help

The hotel is located a twenty minute bus ride from centre of Porto (Euro 1,30) bus is best way to get into town

To summarise will recommend and use when needing a hotel in Porto

The staff were friendly and breakfast was acceptable.

Having said that, the rooms are noisy mainly from the cars out in the streets east and south of the hotel. The central heating system was very very noisy. The bed covers, furniture and curtains are very worn, old and tatty, and in desperate need of replacement.

Had to move rooms three times, the first was noisy, the second had no heating, no TV and one of the wooden boards in the ceiling was moved.. The worst thing was that the staff although apologetic, thought nothing of the noise from the street or the noisy heating system.

This place needs major changes. Try other places in Porto.

This hotel is not located at the city center, but the transportation to and from the center is excellent. It takes only about 10 minutes to the centre ( with traffic jam ). There is a busstop right in front of the hotel, and the buses work until midnight.

The hotel personels were friendly. Our room was okay, not so big but clean. We stayed here in February, so outside was cold but our room was comfortably warm. There were enough space to put our luggage, but the 2-persons bed was a little bit small.

The breakfast was enough, from breads, cereals, fruits, juices, and warm scrambled eggs and sausages.

This hotel has also a health club with swimming pool, whirlpool and sauna, only they close at 9.p.m, so we ussualy swam before breakfast.
