    river path

    The hotel’s floral-themed decoration, combined with its historical charm, made my stay truly delightful. The spacious common areas and smooth accessibility made it easy for me to move around comfortably during my visit.

    More accessible river path access would be beneficial.

    tasty dishes
    local flavors
    delicious breakfast
    underwhelming spa
    missing sauna

    The food scene was a hit, featuring tasty dishes that I still dream about! Nearby, Palatium dished out local flavors that were a delight. Our room had a view towards the river, and breakfast was nothing short of delicious.

    The spa was a bit underwhelming. didn’t quite match the hype from the photos. Plus, where’s the sauna—would’ve been a nice touch!

    accommodating staff
    comfortable setting
    river path access
    accessibility

    The floral-themed decoration caught my eye immediately, adding a unique charm to the hotel. The spacious common areas allowed for easy movement and comfort. Watching the river cruise boats from my room created a mesmerizing backdrop that I enjoyed daily. The staff throughout my stay were very accommodating, making check-in a breeze. However, I noticed that the location felt somewhat distant from the main attractions, and accessing the river path could have been better. Ubers were affordable, but having easier access would enhance the experience.

    stylish decor
    scenic paths
    isolated location

    Stylish decor throughout the common areas adds a unique charm. Easy access to scenic walking paths provides a pleasant way to enjoy the riverside atmosphere.

    The location can feel isolated, with limited options for dining or shopping near the hotel. Breakfast options were repetitive and not impressive, contributing to long queues. The indoor pool was out of service during my visit, and some areas lacked consistent maintenance, affecting overall cleanliness.

    stunning river view
    outdoor pool
    great breakfast variety
    spotty wifi
    limited city access

    We enjoyed a wonderful 4-night stay in a Superior Double or Twin Room. The hotel provided stunning views of the river, and we loved lounging by the outdoor pool. The staff was attentive and upgraded us to a junior suite for our inconvenience at check-in, which was a nice touch. The breakfast was delicious with a great variety.

    The WiFi could be a bit spotty at times.

    infinity pool

    would definitely visit it again

    The room had air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a beautiful view of the Douro River. The breakfast buffet was top-notch, featuring fresh pastries and a wide array of cheeses. The infinity pool area was perfect for relaxing, offering sun loungers and service for drinks and snacks. Staff were attentive and went out of their way to help us.

    river view
    unique charm
    spacious areas
    breakfast limitations
    service inconsistencies
    location perceived distant

    The hotel has an interesting floral-themed decoration that gives it a unique charm. I enjoyed the spacious common areas, making it easy to navigate. The river view from my room was truly breathtaking. However, the breakfast did not meet my expectations. it lacked variety and quality. I also found the distance from downtown Porto to be a bit inconvenient. While Uber rides are cheap, having more accessible transport options would be helpful. The staff, although friendly, seemed overstretched at times, especially during busy hours. Altogether, it was a nice stay, especially for the ambiance and room comfort, but some service inconsistencies need addressing.

    beautiful views
    infinity pool
    slow service
    basic amenities

    The hotel boasts beautiful views of the Douro River and offers a pleasant atmosphere. While the infinity pool was a highlight, the distance from the city center is notable. Service at breakfast was sometimes slow, and the room amenities felt basic for a five-star property.

    definitely coming here again

    Amazing river views from our room and the infinity pool area. Breakfast had a range of options, fresh fruits, and pastries. The junior suite was spacious with a couch, air conditioning, and a minibar. Outdoor seating was perfect for relaxing. Fitness center and both indoor and outdoor pools offered great spots to unwind. Staff was super accommodating, even upgrading our room when we had a hiccup at check-in.
