If I knew what will happen I will not stay
Pros:

Very clean and seams very cozy

Cons:

From 5:00 AM is impossible to sleep with the noise from cleaning or whatever they were doing on the streets. I thinks they already know this, maybe there will be more silent rooms. Also we have an open window over the bed that we cannot take the light out.

If you want to be right where the action is, this is the spot for you!
Pros:

Fantastic location, right on the Douro river. One bedroom apartment with lounge area, very high quality fixtures and fittings. Good shower and a good lift up to rooms. Bedroom at the rear very quiet and comfortable. Great staff, very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Be prepared for quayside singers / saxophonists and buskers on the quayside until 22:00 at night. The couch in the TV room / lounge (at the front on the river) was also not particularly comfortable. Bathroom could do with more shelf space (could be easily solved with a set of shelves in the space under the window.). Also BE AWARE the hotel is 50 metres inside a “no traffic” zone and you need to walk down with your cases unless you use the hotel (premium price) taxi. Better directions for an approach on foot would be appreciated.

Bad Management person
Pros:

Very nice and comfortable hotel, with very friendly and helpful reception and bar staff. What almost ruined our stay was seeing a lady, who we think was the manager or owner, (we think she was Brazilian, from the accent) talking, or rather shouting, at the reception staff in such a rude manner in front of us, that it reminded us of the days of slavery. It's a shame that they put such low-level people in charge of managing a hotel! It gives a terrible image!
