The hotel is located in a prime spot just steps from the beach, making it ideal for a relaxing getaway. The rooms were spacious, though they felt a bit outdated, and some facilities like the sauna were out of order, which was disappointing. The breakfast offered decent variety but was a bit underwhelming in quality. The staff was quite helpful and provided good recommendations for local sights and dining.

The hotel offers a fantastic location just steps from the beach, making it ideal for seaside lovers. The staff is exceptionally accommodating, and the rooms, while clean, could use some modernization. Unfortunately, the dining experience leaves much to be desired, particularly the breakfast options which were quite basic. Overall, it's a decent stay with some notable strengths but also areas that require improvement.

The hotel is located in a beautiful coastal area, perfect for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy beach access. My room had stunning views and a balcony, but I found it quite noisy at night due to its proximity to the elevator. While the facilities were nice, they could use some improvements. The staff was generally helpful, and the breakfast was delightful, showcasing a variety of Portuguese dishes. However, the noise and cleanliness in my room were less than ideal.

The hotel is set in a refreshing location on the Atlantic coast, providing easy access to the beach and local restaurants. The rooms were clean and spacious, with lovely views of the coastline. The staff was notably helpful, making my stay enjoyable. However, the dining experience was average and could benefit from more variety. Overall, it's a great value for those looking to explore both the beach and the city of Porto.

The hotel offers a refreshing coastal location with a short bus ride to Porto, making it easy to explore both the city and nearby local spots. The rooms are spacious and come with varied amenities, although furniture and facilities showed signs of wear. Breakfast is acceptable, but some areas could see improvement. Overall, it's a good choice for those looking for a beach getaway with easy access to the city.
