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. 🙏👍🏼

No bar or common area to socialise in of an evening, but plenty outside options!

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!

It was a little noisy at night, but that was because our window didn't close properly.

The staff, especially Jose, were very friendly and helpful. We really liked the glass of port on arrival. The rooms are comfortable. The location was right in the heart of the action.

The safe in our room did not work and the shower showed signs of wear with some black areas in the paint above the shower, could do with a lick of paint. Also the hot water is HOTTTTTTTT! Save some energy and turn it down a few degrees, no one would mind.

The location is excellent.

Lovely hotel in such a great location. Only 1 minute walk to the river. Lots of bars and restaurants all around but not noisy at night. Lovely breakfast and very clean and nice rooms. Would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone coming to Porto and wants to stay in the Ribeira area.

Maybe variety on breakfast...but nothing else.

Amazing stay. Can't fault the room and location. Very clean. Breakfast was a hit and miss. Continental. Staff were lovely. Area is amazing. We didn't take any transport to walk around, take good walking shows. As very up hills. It's worth a visit across the bridge, too. We did 3 days. If you want to do a day trip in Douro Valley... do 4 nights.

My safe would not lock and the staff were not able to fix it in during the four nights I stayed there.

There was a good selection of food an drink and very friendly staff there

The bed was really old, and had really deep body signatures in them. They were definitely due for replacing. We also noticed that there was panelling coming off of the wall in shared areas and underneath it was a lot of black mold. We also found a lot of the time the restaurants we wanted to go to were at the top of the hill meaning we spent a lot of time walking up the hill or catching the cable car up to go to dinner or lunch or just to sight see in general. The walk up is challenging to say the least.

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.

The noise from outside our room 105 was terrible. The kitchen staff from the restaurant next door and the birds were really noisy. You need to fix the window . You should have someone to help with luggage from and to the parking

The room was beautiful! The front desk staff helpful, location perfect

This hotel is in a great location, only a block from the water and everything is walkable. The staff was great, helping with cabs, luggage storage and anything else we needed. The included breakfast had lots of variety with hot items, fruit, sweet and savory pastries.

Shower was a bit slippery and no hand rail. Outside area was not very clean and smelly but out of hotels hands.

The decor. The breakfast. The area. The staff. Comfy beds.
