Pros:

A localização é espetacular

Cons:

Quartos pequenos, sem frigobar e muitas escadas para subir. Mas a gentileza dos funcionários compensa as escadas. Eles ajudaram a subir e descer as malas.

Pros:

Gentilissimo l’host, camere pulite possibilità di usufruire del parcheggio a pagamento proprio di fronte all’hotel! Colazione ottima.

Cons:

Un po’ scomode le scale essendo le nostre camere al terzo piano, ma non incidono sulla valutazione dell’hotel

Pros:

The hotel is centrally located and has all necessary equipment, staff is very friendly.

Cons:

When returning to our room at night we found the bathroom floor covered in water that was dripping from the ceiling (likely a problem with a pipe underneath the upper room‘s shower, as we were told). The friendly receptionist did his best drying the floor but of course there wasn‘t much more he could do to fix the problem and no other rooms were available. Water ocassionally started dripping again during the night. Due to a heat wave, we left the air conditioning switched on, which unfortunately is on the noisy side. All in all, we didn‘t get much sleep that night. Bad luck, as otherwise the hotel is fine for a city break in Porto.

Ottimo soggiorno a Porto
Pros:

Struttura comoda per visitare Porto, vicina alla stazione della metro collegata ad Aeroporto. Stanza minimale ma completa di tutto. Offerta anche degustazione di Porto, non male!

Cons:

Camera un po' rumorosa, ma feeling personale

Eines der schönsten Hotels in Porto
Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist sehr Zentral gelegen (5min zur Metro). Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Ich hatte immer das Gefühl willkommen zu sein. Wir konnten die Koffer bei Ankunft (sind um 9:00 angekommen / Die Koffer wurden uns aufs Zimmer getragen) sowie beim Auschecken noch im Hotel deponieren

Cons:

Es hat leider kein Lift, war für uns aber nicht weiter schlimm.

Good value!
Pros:

Each of the staff were exceptionally helpful and kind during my two nights stay. Rooms were clean and quite comfortable. Being a solo traveller I felt very safe. A bonus was the wonderful restaurant “100 Culpas” next door - such good food!

Für eine Städtereise empfehlenswert
Pros:

Unweit des Mercado Bolhao, auch die Metro-Station war fußläufig gut erreichbar.
Wir wurden mit einem Portwein begrüßt.

Cons:

Leider hatten wir ein Zimmer zur Straße und konnten nur bei geschlossenem Fenster schlafen.
Die Verdunkelung war bei dem hellem Licht von der Straße ungenügend.
