Reviews and Ratings
I couldn't have asked for a better hotel location! Right in the heart of Ribeira, just steps away from the bustling riverfront with plenty of dining options nearby. The rooms were nice and bright, although a tad small for my liking, but stepping outside provided me with the most incredible view. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to help us during a busy event day. The dining experience was satisfying, offering a good selection of dishes. Overall, a superb location with service that exceeded expectations.
Staying at this hotel was a great experience! The rooms were fabulous, quiet, and spacious with a giant bed, and our view overlooked a street bustling with many delightful restaurants. The service was top-notch, always helpful and accommodating, especially when we needed to extend our stay due to unexpected illness. The location was superb, right on the waterfront in the heart of the old town, although the lively surroundings did bring some noise until the early hours. The dining was a real treat, with a delicious and varied breakfast spread that included fresh fruit, scrumptious savory options, and an array of pastries. The facilities were excellent, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, although quiet and cozy, had limited views and some noise from the air con units. The service was a bit hit or miss, with some staff being very kind but lacking local knowledge. The location, however, was superb, near the water and all the attractions. The dining was a highlight with delicious options and friendly staff.
