Super location, literally one pedestrianised street away from the quayside. Modern hotel with only 12 rooms , yet felt spacious with a breakfast mezzanine floor and a large lounge with a variety of comfy seating, lighting and books available on each floor. Bedroom modern although a little dark due to modern stylish lighting which looked the part but don't necessarily give the best light..Room 102. Lovely marbled bathroom with superb shower and good lighting, fresh towels and complimentary toiletries. Breakfast choices were good and included a selection of yoghurts, fresh fruit, cereals and nuts, bread, fresh rolls miniature cakes, juices, vast options for tea drinkers, good coffee machine, meats and cheeses and a small hot food offering. Staff held our bags after a 12noon check out which was great as we had a late evening flight.

Perfect location. We even managed to get a room with narrow river view, even though the hotel itself is not right next to Douro river, but one block away. We loved the hotel interior with old construction visibility. Receptionists were great with smile on their face every time we met them. There are many restaurants around. Easy to start the walking tour around the historical city, or walk accross the Luis I bridge to the neighbour city Vila Nova de Gaia, opposite of Porto. Further away one can conveniently go either by metro or busses just short walk from the hotel. We warmly reccommend this hotel for anyone visiting Porto.

I travel a lot, and I have never met someone as kind, helpful, cheerful, and passionate as Jose at the reception. If I were his boss, his salary would be doubled. The hotel has the best location in all of Porto. If you want to visit Porto and have everything close by, right in the heart of the city, this is the best choice. The breakfasts are very good. The atmosphere is very pleasant. It’s warm, cozy, and feels as comfortable as home. Love this place. Thank you Aneta and Paulo from Barcelona

The room (superior room type) was excellent - very comfortable, quiet and spacious. Housekeeping staff did an excellent job each day when servicing the room. It was always pristine. Although in a very busy, lively part of town, it is a little sanctuary to get back to your room and chill after a busy day. Staff without exception were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was enjoyed each day and breakfast staff were always courteous. Reception staff likewise friendly and helpful. Thank you Descobertas. So glad we chose to stay with you!

Location was excellent. good size room, comfortable beds, good shower, quality toiletries & very helpful reception team. They organised a taxi transfer to the airport which cost €30- cash paid in advance to reception) apparently other companies charge €50) It arrived exactly on time and the driver was very courteous and helped with our bags which at 5am was most appreciated.

The room we had was really spacious, and felt really clean and new. The bathroom was huge with a separate toilet from the shower and sink, which is always a bonus. We had views of the harbour through the building in front of us. The staff were always super helpful. The apartment was super close to the harbour, a cable car to get you to the top of Porto and the Gaia where all the wine cellars are located. We always walked everywhere which we loved.

Jose was very helpful - my husband was quite unwell and Jose insisted I take him a large mug of orange juice which was so very kind - he also came to sort a few niggling things in the room immediately.

Joseph, front desk receptionist, was an amazing host. He was very helpful and pleasant to talk with. The elevator was not working when we came in, so he brought our 2 bags upstairs to 3rd floor! 💪🏼 He answered all our questions and had our room ready before 3PM. Thank you so much Joseph for making our stay a pleasant one. 🙏👍🏼
