My stay at the hotel was fabulous! The rooms were super spacious, elegant, and even had Marshall speakers and a de Longhi coffee machine. On level 7, I had everything I needed in what was actually two rooms. The service was lovely, although staff needs to smile a little more and be better trained due to renovation, but they were always trying to serve other guests. The location was incredibly beautiful, right on the banks of the Douro River. The dining experience was pretty good, offering oatmeal and other healthy cereals, but more variety in traditional dishes would have been nice.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was spacious with stunning views overlooking the River, and I enjoyed a peaceful night's sleep after a lovely meal. However, being over the carpark and bar meant the views were not great and it was a little noisy.
