My husband and I only spent one night here after moving to a more centrally located hotel in the downtown in the beautiful old district. We cannot say that the district that this hotel is located in is ideal for exploring Porto, unless of course you okay with using Ubers, taxis, metro, etc. It is located in a rather dark and questionable area. It is also about a 40 minute walk to downtown from this hotel. However, the staff here are very friendly, the breakfast was great and the room, although a bit on the small side was more than adequate.
