Una maravilla
Pros:

La ubicación es magnífica. La habitación una preciosidad. El desayuno excepcional. Y si además coincide con la noche de San Juan, el espectáculo de los farolillos y los fuegos artificiales desde la habitación es francamente insuperable. Es verdad que esa noche es bulliciosa en el exterior, pero las ventanas aíslan mucho y se pudo descansar adecuadamente.

Cons:

Nada que mencionar.

Wonderful stay with young family: central, scenic, historic, great food and very reasonably priced
Pros:

Breakfast amazing and Oliver and team provided great service. Check in was brilliant and lovely drinks offered. Room was on the river so have front row seats of air show happening. Very generous with 'freebies' in the room

Cons:

Travelling with small kids so wanted a slightly better lock into the corridor as they slept in the antiroom of the suite. Had to check out earlier than planned as the air show meant that no cars could get anywhere near the hotel for airport transfer pre-booked. No prior warning from the hotel. Luckily we had friends who were local and helped us out

Very enjoyable stay in a superb location, but good wine would improve the experience!
Pros:

Stylish, comfortable, clean and in a great location.
Very good breakfast.
Staff were friendly and efficient, although not consistently attentive at breakfast.
Maid service excellent.

Cons:

The dinner in the restaurant was good but not great value for money. The biggest bugbear was paying 40€ for a bottle of wine which cost less than 5€ in the supermarket! Whilst we appreciate that drinks are often overpriced across the board, this wine wasn’t even a good one.

Oporto en primera fila
Pros:

Me alojé en una habitación con balcón y vistas al Duero. No se me ocurre mejor emplazamiento ni mejores vistas. Las fotos no le hacen justicia. Habitación muy espaciosa. El hotel transmite exclusividad y atención. Inmejorable en general.

Cons:

Nada, todo era perfecto

Very pleasant stay, great location in a vibrant city
Pros:

Great location. Staff very helpful. Excellent breakfast and nice wine bar looking over the river

Cons:

Room a bit dark with window on to street behind hotel. I did not like the bathroom set up. Probably should have upgraded room to get a river view

The staff actually made it a wonderful stay.
Pros:

The location was nice for a couple of days, but the crowds on the riverfront can be overwhelming after a couple of days.

Cons:

I felt the property was well tended.
