Is a 5 stars hotel to charge but is not complying with the standards of 5 stars hotel. Maybe a 3 stars in quality of the service. Place view is beautiful and rooms and comfortable. The people in general are great and helpful. The problem for me is lack of good management. Not the same as the other Pestana group hotels. Very disappointed of the hotel. Will never recommend and surprise to see a 4.7 rating in the reviews. Summary. Is a 3 stars hotel with prices of a 5 stars hotel

Wow what a hotel outside the city stunning views of the river amazing pool and hotel employees all so helpful friendly couldn’t do enough. Went slightly out of season so not all facilities such as roof top bar available but didn’t soil the use of the hotel will definitely return and you can walk into Porto so good exercise cab only €8 away from the hustle and bustle of the city allowing you to chill out as well.

We loved the hotel and the staff were really friendly and helpful. We were upgraded to a room with a river view which was an unexpected treat. Food was good , particularly the breakfast. The only niggle was the distance from the city but we used Ubers which were fast and reliable.

This is a lovely quiet little hotel on the River Douro. The rooms were comfortable and the hotel restaurant is incredible, both for the breakfast buffet and the dinner options. The rooms are not large, but the balconies open up the rooms quite a bit. The rates were excellent. My only real complaint is that it is not with walking distance of anything, and guests will need to use a taxi or car service to get into Porto proper.
