huge disappointment

Liked mostWith the exception of Pedro, who was helpful, and professional, this hotel was a huge disappointment and felt like false advertising. Most of the rooms face the inside of an unattractive building, with very little natural light. We were eventually moved to a “river view” room, but even that was far from ideal. The windows have to remain closed because there is a restaurant immediately next door, with tables positioned directly in front of the windows. If you want to enjoy the river view, you also have to look at people eating and walking by—and they can see straight into your room as well. There is essentially no privacy. The breakfast staff was by far the least welcoming hotel staff I have ever encountered. They always seemed annoyed, as if serving guests was a burden. One morning, an employee holding a list with guests’ names and room numbers refused to let us enter the breakfast area because we couldn’t remember our room number. She could easily have checked our names on the list she was already holding, but only did so after we insisted, and very reluctantly. The breakfast itself is mediocre, repetitive, and below expectations for a hotel in this price range. The à la carte eggs we ordered every morning were bland and tasteless. Even worse, no one comes to the tables to let guests know that hot dishes can be ordered. You have to get up, find a staff member, and request them yourself. The hotel also fails in many small but important details. For example, there isn’t a single shelf or holder inside the shower to place shampoo or soap. Everything has to stay on the floor, which is inconvenient and especially problematic for elderly guests. Speaking of accessibility, be aware that cars cannot reach the hotel entrance. If you are traveling with rolling suitcases or have mobility issues, this is a significant inconvenience. What is even more frustrating is that the hotel never contacts guests in advance to explain the best Uber drop-off location. A simple message would avoid a great deal of confusion. For future guests: enter “Painel de Azulejos Ribeira Negra” in Uber, as this drop-off point makes it much easier to reach the hotel with luggage. This is basic information that should be provided by the hotel. Finally, although the hotel is located by the Ribeira, every trip to and from the property involves steep uphill walks. In my opinion, it is much better to stay somewhere more central and simply come to the Ribeira for lunch or dinner. You will enjoy the same beautiful riverside atmosphere without all the inconveniences of staying here. Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel. The location alone does not make up for the poor service, lack of privacy, disappointing breakfast, and numerous practical shortcomings.

A hotel full of character in an unbeatable location

Liked mostWe had a wonderful stay and would happily return. The location is excellent—right in the heart of the city, within easy walking distance of the historic center, the river, restaurants, and shops. Having a taxi rank nearby also made getting around very convenient. The hotel itself has a lot of character. The high ceilings, large windows, and tasteful minimalist design create a calm, welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are comfortable, thoughtfully equipped, and the beds are exceptionally comfortable. A special mention goes to the shower: finally, a hotel shower that’s intuitive to use! Simple controls, great water pressure, and no need to spend five minutes figuring out how it works. Breakfast exceeded our expectations. At first glance it looks like a modest selection, but that’s only because everything is presented so neatly. The staff continuously replenish the buffet, so everything stays fresh and plentiful. The fresh orange juice was excellent, and the overall breakfast experience felt carefully prepared with great attention to detail. A stylish, comfortable hotel in a perfect location with excellent service. Highly recommended.

First time in Porto, loved it and can’t wait to go back.

Liked mostOne of the best locations in the city with direct views of the river.

Could improveRiver front can get busy at night, especially at the weekend but apartment has good sound proofing.
