8Verified guest

“Breakfast was quite complete — pastries, fruit salad, ham, cheese, boiled eggs, juices, coffee. The bathroom was large for the room size. They held our luggage before check-in and after check-out. The street is Porto's busiest shopping street, though the hotel area is a bit removed from the bustle. Reception staff understood Spanish and were friendly.”
