Pros

Located in the historic Ribeira district, the starting point of Porto's development

Preserved historic facades with modern interior design by Ricardo Azevedo

A Tasca bar features authentic 1930s Portuguese tavern ambiance

Views of the Douro River and D. Luis Bridge from select rooms

Cons

“The location puts you squarely in the heart of Porto's vibrant Ribeira district, a UNESCO World Heritage site, with views overlooking the Douro River; the recently renovated rooms offer a modern respite with a nod to classic Portuguese design. Breakfast is a highlight, served in a space reminiscent of a 1930s tavern; it's a solid choice for experiencing Porto's energy.”

The staff helped arrange restaurant bookings and transport to the airport. My room had views of the Douro and Luís Bridge. The location is superb, right beside the riverside.
The room felt small. There was not much space to walk around. The shower felt a bit claustrophobic. Breakfast required an extra charge, and it did not start very early.

The room was too small. The space was limited making it difficult to move around the bed. The bathroom had a small shower, and this felt claustrophobic.
