We started our 8 day Porto trip at this hotel, knowing it was near the beach and we could relax before moving along into downtown Porto, across the river. we stayed 3 nights and everything went smoothly. the hotel is actually right along the beach and all the private balconies have a fabulous ocean view. the sounds at night are...

A wonderful location but the hotel has seen better days. There were no tea and coffee facilities which was disappointing, and the staff especially at breakfast were surly and unhelpful. The restaurant next door had excellent food but extremely expensive and again, the staff were unsmiling and unwelcoming. More

The hotel features nice views from Douro river mouth and the surrounding beaches. Room was spacious and clean, dependencies were overall in good condition, the age of the hotel building was only perceptible at the pool area. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was good. Hotel garage was available but had to be paid separately. Note: make sure before... More

Still no sign of life in the decorating department here since the last review... but nonetheless a relaxing place to stay for a few days. Rooms are quiet, spacious and air conditioned and our balcony had a sea view. The breakfast (included) was okay but could have been much better - the eggs tasted of rubber and that's not something...

Fantastic older style hotel. Slightly tired looking now and a bit dated. Was probably once rather grand. Location is fabualous, right near the sea with lovely beaches. The area is being renewed with fancy looking apartment buildings. No restuarants close by it seemed, so you are stuck with the hotel restauarnat. Breakfast buffet was reasonable. Only problem was finding the... More

The hotel is on Lavadores beach a 30 minute bus or 15 minute taxi ride from Porto city centre. We bought a 3 day Andante travel card (11 euros) at the airport, caught the metro to Casa de Musica and took the 902 bus which drops you outside the hotel at the end of its journey. Check in was quick... More
