Reviews and Ratings
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 the hotel. The rooms were amazing, especially with the movie corner providing popcorn and candy after a delightful meal. Having both a balcony and terrace was simply amazing, making the stay very comfortable and functional. The size of the room was great, and the balcony was really nice.
The hotel offers stunning views and spacious, tastefully decorated rooms, with a good indoor pool, sauna, and bath. The service is excellent, with extremely friendly and helpful staff. The dining experience is top-notch, offering tasty and varied choices. Overall, a luxurious stay with great amenities but at a potentially higher price point.
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.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms had excellent views of the river and were very comfortable, perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine. The service, provided via WhatsApp, was extremely friendly and supportive throughout my stay. The location right on the banks of the Douro river was amazing, offering stunning views and a great place to explore. The dining experience was top-notch with a wide variety of delicious foods. The facilities were superb, making my stay truly enjoyable.
