A 7 day trip in an apartment in the adjacent building. Great view over the river. Appreciated double glazing. The street musicians became repetitive.
Great breakfast. Friendly, helpful staff.

The location of this hotel is simply incredible! It is right on the river. We had a room facing the river with a wall of windows and the views are breathtaking. We also had lunch and drinks outside at their bar and loved it. The staff was also very helpful and arranged our transportation from and back to the airport.

The staff were highly professional and attentive to making our stay enjoyable and worry free, ahead of, during our stay, and as we continued our holiday elsewhere. The combination of an idealistic location and a fitting accommodation to meet the beauty of that picturesque locale overlooking the Douro River and the Dom Luis I bridge. My wife and I loved this hotel, and the busy areas in the daytime became a quiet sanctuary with seemingly private views in the night for our February stay. The hotels style is a perfect blend of rustic aged beauty, with modern touches. Loved!

Hotel is in a great location. We enjoyed being close to the river where there were many people, restaurants and live entertainment. The checkin staff were very friendly and helpful. Our suite was on the city side of the building (our choice) with the hope that it would be quieter. We were wrong. Between 11- midnight each night, someone was dragging something - maybe stacked chairs) along the alleyway behind us, lasting for more than 30 minutes. It was loud enough to jolt you out of a sound sleep. If you plan to be awake past midnight, no problem but for us it was quite disturbing.
