Who is the hotel best for?

Best for

Choose this central Porto base if you want straightforward access to the historic centre and a room arrangement suited to your party.

Think twice if

Your main aim is to stay away from the centre: its location is the reason to choose it, rather than a secluded setting. Compare the exact room category and included services before paying for an upgrade.

Location and walking routes

  • Public transport3 min walkFor wider travel, the Bolhão metro station is a 3-minute walk away, while 24 de Agosto station is accessible within a 7-minute walk.

Which room layout suits your stay?

6 options

Choose the sleeping arrangement before the upgrade. Executive offers a king bed or twins; Double With Sofa Bed puts a king and sofa bed in one room, while Family combines two connecting rooms with a king and two singles for greater separation. Superior Deluxe With Jacuzzi is the explicitly named terrace-and-jacuzzi option: do not assume that outdoor feature comes with other categories.

Pool access and group-booking questions

Is the pool heated outside summer?

The official services page describes an indoor pool with natural light and heating throughout the year. Confirm the access arrangements for your stay.

Do bookings for a larger group have the same terms?

Reservations for more than four bedrooms may have different conditions and additional supplements. Ask for the group terms before committing to multiple rooms.

The practical side

Arrival and parking

For travellers driving into Porto, allow for the official covered-parking charge of ~€18 per day and confirm a space before arrival. Public transport can be a more useful option when you do not need the car during your stay.

Breakfast and dining economics

Breakfast format: A buffet breakfast is served, which includes fresh bread, homemade cakes, pastries, jams, cereals, fruit salads, yoghurts, cheeses, and freshly squeezed fruit juices. A commercial listing quotes buffet breakfast at approximately €17 per person. Check whether your chosen rate includes it before comparing total stay costs. For an early departure, ask for the serving hours and available breakfast arrangements before booking.

Room quality and sleep

Guest feedback highlights cleanliness and comfortable beds. These are reported experiences rather than a guarantee of the room you will receive; compare the exact category’s layout and amenities when choosing. Guest rooms include air conditioning, a minibar and a hairdryer.

Policies and extra costs

Children: Children under 3 years old are permitted to stay free of charge when using a cot.

Accessibility

The hotel incorporates specific accessibility features to accommodate guests with reduced mobility. Navigation: The building is equipped with a lift, facilitating movement between floors. If accessibility is essential, confirm the street-to-lobby route and the bathroom of the exact adapted room with the hotel. A lift and general reduced-mobility provision do not establish every step of that journey.

Wellness and facilities

Wellness amenities: Guests have access to a swimming pool, sauna, and massage services, which are widely cited as great for relaxation. Fitness: The hotel features a gym equipped with over five cardio machines—including treadmills, ellipticals, and rowers—plus a dedicated weight training area.

Good to know before booking

The hotel is situated near the main attractions and metro.
