Porto District Adventure Holidays

Spotless large room with a great view. Rooftop bar has great view, but restaurant is expensive and few options.

Booked 2 nights following another wonderful Viking trip ( on the Douro River ). Had done lots of research as we wanted to be in the Ribeira section on the river. Location was PERFECT! could walk to dozens of cafes/ restaurants/ wine bars etc and enjoy outdoors on perfect weather. Upon arrival a bit turned off by exterior which was in need of some cleaning up/weeding and, alas, next to a McDonald's ( in a lovely old building but surrounded by trash we had to pass each time we went in and out.. ugh). Staff small and va/ried levels of genuine hospitality...our room was wonderful with windows on the river. After a bit of juggling we're able to keep that room for both nights vs move ( our fault, 2 separate booking for 1 nite each but they were able to rearrange- appreciated!) Did included breakfast one morning..lovely, very generous spread of typical European fare with coffee & expresso machine availabilie early. Only 8 rooms, small but cozy breakfast room also facing river with seating for maybe 8 people.Porto is a very fun/ safe feeling place with plenty to do...plan at least 2 nights!

Fabulous buffet breakfast and lovely staff. However, room advertised as twin or double and yet we were not given the opportunity to specify when booking with Expedia. Having specifically requested a twin by contacting the hotel direct we still ended up with a double. Not sure whether this is down to Expedia or the hotel but really not acceptable to advertise this room as a twin.

This is a hidden gem! I was visiting from the United States and had an amazing time here. The staff, room, and food here were all amazing. It’s a boutique hotel and feels like family every day. Definitely a fan!
