The hotel is conveniently located in Vila Nova de Gaia, just across the river from central Porto, offering easy access to public transportation and nearby attractions. The rooms, while clean, were smaller than expected, and the bathroom had some minor issues with towel presentation. The staff was helpful with recommendations and transportation arrangements, although there was an issue with rate honoring. The dining experience, with a diverse breakfast selection, was enjoyable, and the location provided a typical Northern Portuguese atmosphere. Wi-Fi was not included in the price.

The hotel is conveniently located close to town with easy access from the A1 road. The service was really helpful and kind, especially in addressing initial problems. The dining experience was excellent, offering a variety of delicious dishes. The location, however, may be challenging to find and is not very appealing due to its proximity to the highway.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with adequate facilities, but the car park view may not be ideal. The service was excellent overall except for one staff member. The location is convenient for accessing Porto and the beach, but it could be challenging to find. The dining experience was splendid with a wide variety of options. The facilities met expectations, providing a good value for the price paid.
