Great location for exploring the city with great restaurants and cafes nearby. It is close to all the main attractions. The Douro River and it’s famous bridge is only a 10 to 13 minute walk. Check in was extremely quick. You pick up the keys from the office which is a 15 minute walk but they let you store your bags there if you're leaving later in the day. I would suggest you pack some earplugs as it is quite loud on an evening, it wasn't an issue at all for us but if you're a light sleeper you might struggle without them. Heating was broken when we got in from our first day, very annoying as we had to sleep with jumpers and socks for 2 nights but we let them know and it was fixed for the third night. WiFi is good. Lots of natural light. Clean bed sheets and towels available. Nice view on the cathedral.
