WiFi is always dropping off & TV remote control not working so couldn’t watch TV the entire stay. Should provide more than 2 paper cups in bathroom for brushing teeth because after 3 days the cups looses the shape.

Would come again.
The reception staff is wonderful. Our only complaint is the bed was uncomfortable. Close to the Duoro River! If you have difficulty walking there are steep roads to walk down.

Such a pretty little hotel. Around 18 rooms. Great shower, pretty room, nice breakfast. Located a block from the waterfront. I would have liked one more pillow. And the wi-fi is not really good. Would recommend.

A gem
Excellent comfort and service. The location was also excellent in the heart of Ribeira. Although the hotel does not have a restaurant beyond a good breakfast there are plenty of restaurants within a 3 to 5 minute walk, Be warned, however, that the good ones need prior booking! Altogether an excellent stay.

The location was wonderful, the vibrant Ribeira area with so many restaurants along the river. The restaurant Postigo do Carvao, was recommended by the hotel, a couple of doors away from hotel, so glad we went. We had a delicious authentic Portuguese meal, service was wonderful too. A nice small boutique hotel, breakfast was lovely too.

Excellent.. had it all!
Excellent boutique hotel, right in the heart of the action! Loved our room 403. Very spacious and cozy. Loved the bathroom and shower! 2nd night we heard seguels alot but it was not the fault of the hotels. Had breakfast included an had a great spread. It was not continental. We had an early flight and they provided a box lunch for us since we were not able to take advantage of the buffet breakfast. I would definerly stay here again.

Perfect location for the price. Staff was very helpful and kind. The only issue we had was that our room was on the first floor and on the back side of the building. The kitchen staff in the restaurants behind the hotel were very loud at night. Its not the hotels fault, but its a negatice that i doubt the hotel can do much about.
