HOTEL POSITION VERY CONVINIENT AND CENTRAL TO PORTO CITY.
Very good Breakfast multi choice.
Very friendly staff.
Rooms could do with a little updating.
Bed Very comfortable and clean.
Parking a bit tight, but very convenient.
Nice hotel for short stay. The location is near the metro station. I have a very comfortable room and bathroom on the base floor. Staf is friendly and helpful.
Some tips to improve hotel more.
breakfast location is to small. Also the buffet is too small. This van be improved.
I like to drink thee before sleeping. This was not available in the hotel. Maybe a small water boiler in the rooms is a solution.
