Wij hebben genoten en komen zeker terug!
Pros:

Het ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Het ontbijt was heel uitgebreid en smaakte heerlijk.
De ligging van het hotel is heel centraal in het het historisch centrum. De kamers zijn brandschoon.

Cons:

Bij het bureau onder de t.v. was geen verlichting.

Excellent stay, sad to leave, highly recommend if going to Porto.
Pros:

The rooms were big, clean and comfortable. Definitely a 5 star hotel. Would highly recommend. Location is excellent, right next door to San Bento train station and close to a lot of the sights. Walking distance within locations and restaurants around.

Gostei muito da estadia em getal
Pros:

Bom pequeno almoço. Escolha variada e trabalhadores muito atenciosos. O horário de abertura e encerramento também está equilibrado.

Cons:

Limpeza e arranjo dos quartos um pouco demorado. Deveria ser mais célere

Valeu pela localização.
Pros:

O hotel é bom e muito bem localizado.

Cons:

Tive problema no primeiro dia com a porta do box que não fechava adequadamente e inundava o banheiro. Tive dificuldade de resolver com a equipe do hotel, que a meu ver não tratou a situação com a prioridade que eu gostaria. Felizmente, o gerente que estava atendo, resolveu o problema nos trocando de quarto. Para o gerente dou nota 10, mas o hotel deixou um pouco a desejar nessa questão
