The room was extremely clean, and we loved having an unexpected balcony! I was especially touched by the breakfast, which was prepared so that we could mix rice with vegetables.

"Our room was really nice but different then the one shown on Expedia. We liked the room we were assigned so didn't want to make a big deal about it. Also Expedia said we'd be offered a 20% discount on food one time but the hotel gave us a voucher for 15%. Not a big deal but kind of felt like the hotel and expedia weren't on the same page. Parking was a nightmare. But we did secure parking a five minute walk away. The view was gorgeous from our room and the location was perfect. We did really like our time in Porto and would choose this hotel if we ever return. but the hotel only question it. When I looked at"
