Think twice if
You're travelling with a pet — pets are not allowed at the property.

- Carolina Michaelis Metro Station is 1.6 km away if you want the train rather than your legs.
- D.pedro V is an 8-minute walk.
- Faculdade Arquitetura is a 9-minute walk.
- Ponte Da Arrábida is an 11-minute walk.
- R.campo Alegre and Ponte Arrábida are each a 12-minute walk.
- The Planetário is also a 12-minute walk, handy for families with children.

The hotel is housed in a completely refurbished historic building known as the Fish Market — the market shell is the story, and the fit-out is new.
The practical side
Arrival and check-in
Bags are covered either side of your stay — the property provides luggage storage, so you can drop cases before check-in or after check-out and make the most of the riverside position.
Room position and outdoor space
If a private terrace or balcony matters, choose your category carefully: among the compared rooms, only the Vincci Room, Family Room and Suite come with private outdoor space.
Facilities and what is missing
Free Wi-Fi runs throughout the property, so working or streaming from your room costs nothing extra. The Triple Room includes a minibar and a safe, which matters if you're sharing with a third guest and want drinks and valuables sorted.
Good to know before booking
Rooms are spacious, clean, and decorated with comfortable bedding and thoughtful furnishings.
