The hotel sits on the banks of the river Ave, on an elevated position, with views over the town and river. It is situated at the entrance of Vila do Conde, one of the nicest coastal towns in Northern Portugal. You can walk into the town in around 5 minutes.
The building is a modern 60's style, in "Thunderbirds" fashion. Rooms are large and pleasant.
The hotel operates a SPA, and pool. The breakfast room overlooks the bridge and river, leading to the town, and the view is quite spectacular.
Despite the impressive architecture, the decor is looking a bit tired in places, and could do with some care and attention.
Nevertheless, I will definitely be going back, and would recommend this to anyone passing through.
Good value for money!
