This is a great leisure hotel. Staff are excellent - I cannot flaw their approach. The hotel decor is great. The room was very good - love the mirror that turns into a TV. Bed very comfortable. Good AC. For a hotel, the restaurant is excellent. No rip off pricing at the bar. Negatives - if I had been travelling on business and needed to work from my room - there is no desk or similar - the sink seems to have a fixed open plug. Very minor - A really good hotel, well situated, exemplary staff service and really quite lovely. Porto is also a great city to visit!
