9.2/10 Wonderful! (31 reviews)
I love everything about you. Only negative thing was the age of the property. I think you should start repairing the floor. They are a lot of things in the apartment which needs replacing. But overall we LOVED it.

10/10 Exceptional! (8 reviews)
From the moment we arrived we were given what felt like a very warm and personal welcome to the hotel, within minutes we had been given a welcome drink and lots of useful information about Porto.
Our room was lovely,lots of nice touches, Including a coffee machine and bathrobes.
The staff were so helpful, so friendly, they seemed genuinely interested in making our stay lovely. The breakfast was Amazing and had so much choice, all high quality products and so fresh. We also had a beautiful Italian meal in the hotel restaurant one night. Our room was adjacent to the rooftop terrace so we had lots of opportunities to take in the wonderful views of Porto and I used the hotel pool and sun terrace a number of times. If you're looking for a high end, comfortable boutique hotel right next to the historic centre of Porto, THIS is the hotel to choose, I will be returning to Porto and WILL be staying in the Lenscape Coterie again without doubt, thank you to all of the staff for making our stay so memorable!
