The hotel is nice enough and the staff was lovely. But it didn’t feel like a great value for the location. It’s basically in the parking lot of a giant shopping mall if that appeals to you. It does not appeal to me. You need to take a bus or drive to all the touristy bits in Porto.

We got a great deal, particularly for the location and time. The hotel lobby looks great and overall the facilities are great. The room was disappointing, as the bathroom area clearly suffered water damage which doesn't seem to have been repaired and leaves the room with an awful look. Room cleanliness on arrival was also not great, but was good the 2nd day of our stay.

Staff was very helpful. Clean, modern hotel with very good breakfast. Nice lobby conversational area. Will likely need short Uber or taxi ride to get to tourist and Porto historic areas. Not in the historic center. Access to mall shopping next door.

The room was clean but had a good hearing. The breakfast was very good! The Lobby is nice and invites to linger. The place of the Hotel is not so good for visiting the Center of Gaia or Porto. You need a car or Uber

The room was clean, comfortable and well appointed. I arrived late and the front desk kept the bar open past closing, so I could have a glass of wine. The food in restaurant was good
and very well priced. Overall, it was a great stay and I would stay there in the future.

Nice staff and clean room. No cold air in AC at our visit, which could be quite hot in the room if switched on.
