Bien situé, propre, accueil souple, bien équipé. Nous avons pu laisser nos bagage, avant l'heure, pour nous aller nous restaurer et commencer la visite de cette très belle ville. Très bien, nous reviendrons

Pros: Gute Lage und schöne Aussicht, ideal für einen Städtetrip. Netter, unkomplizierter und hilfsbereiter Empfang.
Cons: Zimmer gegen Korridor eher etwas hellhörig.
Location: Von hier aus, kann man die Altstadt gut zu Fuss besichtigen, viele Sehenswürdigkeiten liegen in der Nähe oder mit dem Tram etc. erreichbar.
Porto hat ein gemütliches Flair. Mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln, wie Tram etc. erreicht man innert Kürze den Atlantik aber auch die vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Wir haben alles ausprobiert, Tram, Hop on Hop off, Zahnradbahn und Bootsfahrt. Portweine haben wir ausgetestet und auch etliches darüber gelernt. Können Porto weiterempfehlen, auch wenn die Leute nicht alle immer freundlich gesinnt waren.

Comment from Hotel Management

17 Oct 2017 by david

Thanks for your review. The guest complain about a machine that is not in the description of the apartment (completely new) and after a problem was found after the first use (pipe broken) the client didn't stop to use it the second time and result... a major infiltration to the lower floor. Really incredible this review or lack of good sense! Regards
