This was a lovely hotel with clean, large rooms, very responsive staff and a fantastic breakfast. The location is right on the river with a lovely riverside path. It’s an excellent value for money
It was great- nothing to complain about

Clean, bright, lovely terrace off dining room, room was very comfortable - crisp linen sheets and plush towels. Friendly service. Terrific, central location. A very lucky find!

I stayed three nights in May in a flat managed by the hotel, not in the hotel itself.
The flats are on the main road through the historic town, opposite the Paços do Concelho. That is about 100m from the hotel. If you do not wish to carry your bags to the hotel when checking out you can agree with reception to leave the keys in the flat.
Flat is large. Though in an old building the interior is completely modern. One of the two flats has a large terrace. If you stand on the terrace you have a good view of the bridge. The neighbouring buildings have adjacent terraces (you may be visited by a cat).
Hot water, shower, fridge, kettle, washing machine worked; there is a rack for drying clothes.
Wifi was weak in the living room and did not reach the bedroom or terrace.
To key-lock the street door you first need to push the door-handle up. The entrance door to the flat has a simple lock. The security lock on the door to the flat was misaligned and cannot be used. There is no safe.
There was no equipment for making coffee apart from the kettle. If you are planning on cooking, note that no food consumables (oil, spices, ...) were provided.
There was no laundry detergent, iron or ironing board.
Thin curtains did not keep out the light
