Fantastic view
We picked this place because we had a car and they had parking. Free! Parking is available in the hotel under ground garage or in the hotel parking lot. We did not have any meals here, but they have a restaurant and bar on site. We had a view of Porto and the ocean, ask for a high floor. We had two single beds, but they were together like a king. When traveling in Europe we will go with single beds if they don’t have a king because other wise the beds are too small. Room was clean, staff was great. No microwave, but we had a refrigerator (no freezer) and a kettle. No coffee maker, but out of the 3 hotels we’ve stayed at on this trip it’s the first that a kettle in the room.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. I arrived at the hotel 1.5 hours before the official check-in time, hoping to check in early, but the receptionist refused to accommodate me. I understand that early check-in is not always possible, but the way the receptionist handled the situation was completely unprofessional. They were rude and dismissive, offering no explanation or alternative solution. To make matters worse, when the actual check-in time came around, my room still wasn't ready. I ended up waiting well past the check-in time before finally being allowed into my room. The lack of organization and poor customer service left a bad impression, and I certainly won't be staying here again. Avoid this place if you value your time and expect decent service.
