Hotel med meget flot udsigt i en faldefærdig og forladt by.
Pros:

Den smukke udsigt.

Cons:

Svært at blive betjent i fx. baren, man blev ignoreret. Kun få af personalet var servicemindede. Der var ikke mange, der forstod/talte engelsk.
Pinhão er en faldefærdig by uden butikker.

Quarto gde , espaço, com vista bonita do Douro. Café da manhã bom .

Pelo alto custo , acredito que deveria ter uma atualização de tecidos de sofá, almofadas, já desbotados. Funcionários pouco simpáticos .

Decepcionante
Pros:

Localização

Cons:

Hotel mal conservado
Cheiro ruim
Nos deram um quarto abaixo do que foi pago
Depois pedi um upgrade por mais €130 a diária , tivemos um quarto de acordo , mas muito longe da recepção e restaurante .
Comida do restaurante principal deixa a desejar .
