Who is this suitable for

Family trip in a convenient, well-connected urban location

When it is an ideal choice

  • Travellers prioritising location: if your goal is to be in the heart of Porto’s historic centre and explore on foot, this hotel is a very good choice.
  • Travellers with reduced mobility: the hotel has full adaptations (elevator, adapted rooms, adapted parking, raised WC with support bars, emergency rope in bathroom).
  • Families: offers family rooms and children’s buffet, plus proximity to public spaces like Cordoaria Garden.
  • Travellers valuing personalised service: the multilingual team (Spanish, English, French, Portuguese) and 24-hour reception guarantee constant attention.

When to consider alternatives

  • Buscas un hotel con piscina, gimnasio o servicios de bienestar: este hotel de 3 estrellas no dispone de estas instalaciones.
  • Prefieres una zona más tranquila: al estar en pleno centro histórico, la zona es urbana y puede ser ruidosa, especialmente por las noches.
  • Necesitas parking incluido o a bajo coste: el parking público en las inmediaciones cuesta 21 euros por día.

Things to consider

  • Paid parking: the hotel has a garage, but there is also public parking nearby at 21 euros per day without the need for prior reservation. If you need to park, it’s an additional cost to consider.
  • Central urban area: being in the historic centre, the area can be noisy, especially at night. The hotel has soundproofing in the rooms, but proximity to bars and nightlife is a factor to consider.
  • Limited size and services: as a 3-star hotel, it does not have a pool, gym or spa services. Facilities are functional but basic.
  • Access and signage: some guests have mentioned difficulties in locating the hotel or accessing it from the street, possibly due to the location in a complex traffic area of the centre.
