Really nice property,away from the crowds but at the same time close enough to walk around and explore Porto. There is a little uphill walk back to the hotel so probably not great if you find walking hard. The room sizes were amazing and the bedrooms are lovely - huge rooms and very tastefully decorated in a retro seventies style, massive bathrooms with double sinks and bidet. Didn't like the fact that the bathroom had no walk in shower - most people would prefer if a shower rather than having to climb into a very deep bathtub. There was ample space in the bathroom for a shower cubicle. The shower installation was also very high up so not easy for a smaller person to adjust. All in all I was very happy with my stay the staff were so friendly and very helpful. Initially it didn't start well as on my first evening I arrived to a room that was sweltering hot and the air con was not working - this took a while to resolve and eventually late night I had to move rooms after having unpacked already - bit of a bother but all good in the end I was offered a different room where the ac was working better. The only other thing I would mention is that the tea in the rooms is very limited and for such a nice hotel they were very frugal providing only 2 teabags a day and only 2 varieties - I would expect more from a 5 star hotel , also in such a hot climate one bottle of water a day is not really sufficient. Though these are small points they do matter.
