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.

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.
