Okay place to spend the night
We stayed at this hotel last week for a few nights and had a wonderful experience - a super-quiet room with a balcony view, super clean, very friendly and accommodating front desk staff and food services staff, etc. We came back last night for one night and our experience was not the same as last week. Our room was noisy and we really missed last week's staff. It is going to be a long evening of overnight travel home on very little sleep. Breakfast was good throughout both stays, although we were bummed that the croissants and wheat rolls were not offered this morning.

Hotel and staff are great. Shopping is close and walkable. Lively streets. Parking system in Porto is from the 1980's. You pay at a machine three blocks away, walk back to your vehicle and place your stub under the parking ticket that you received while walking the six block round trip. Seriously, I guess the city of Porto have not yet discovered the internet and the world of apps. Perhaps they have and their system generates more revenue, revenue from the parking fees and from the violation fees. It's almost a third world system.
