I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious, tastefully decorated, and always spotless. The service was incredibly kind and professional, with exceptional assistance from the front desk staff. The location was amazing, making it easy to explore the area. The dining experience was the absolute best ever, offering a variety of top-quality food selections. The facilities were top-notch, enhancing my overall enjoyment of the stay.
The hotel had everything we needed and was very well situated, with a clean room and a lovely terrace. However, my room wasn't ready upon last-minute booking due to a flight cancellation.
My stay at the hotel was simply superb! The rooms were immaculate and cozy, with a view of Porto that was just breathtaking. The service was top-notch, with a staff that truly went above and beyond to ensure my well-being. The location was ideal, offering a tranquil retreat in Vila Nova de Gaia while still being close to everything. The dining was fantastic, although the scrambled eggs did take a bit longer than expected. Overall, a wonderful experience with great value for money.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. Despite the comfortable beds and quality shower in a room overlooking the pool, the fact that my room wasn't ready upon arrival due to a last-minute booking after a flight cancellation was disappointing. The hotel's presentation of the room was pleasant overall, but the delay in readiness was inconvenient.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with excellent service, although the dining experience could be improved. The location is ideal with stunning views, but the breakfast service may require some attention.
