Amazing River Views

“I absolutely loved staying in the River View room with balconies. It was like I was onboard a cruise ship, looking out at the beautiful Douro River and Gaia. The room was spacious, and the king-sized bed provided really good comfort, making my stay utterly good.” view full review

Unique Shower Experience

“The bathroom shower being located within the room was an interesting surprise. It added a unique touch to our stay. Despite its unusual placement, I found it to be functional and overall a refreshing part of the experience, making my mornings even more good.” view full review

Delicious Breakfast Delights

“Every morning's breakfast was nothing short of fantastic! The daily selection of pastries and fresh options kept my mornings exciting. I also enjoyed the cappuccinos, a perfect start to my day. The staff even were very good by packing us a 'to-go' bag when we had an early flight-what a thoughtful touch!” view full review

Complimentary Beverages

“One of my favorite aspects was the complimentary beer, available downstairs. After a long day of exploring, it's such a treat to relax with a free Super Bock while watching the river go by. This unique offering truly enhanced my experience at the hotel.” view full review
