The staff had a weird rude attitude throughout our stay. It isn’t exactly the nearest from the main area in Porto, but it worked for us for what we needed it.

Staff was really nice, the room ok but the air conditioning was not perfectly working and was very slow. Pool was often crowded and we had an electricity shortage in the night and in the morning. I don’t know the cause but it tainted a little our stay.
