This boutique hotel is in the very best location. Right on the Praca (Plaza) Douro with literally restaurants and the river at your doorstep. This is where a lot of street musicians play.
Within a very easy walk you have dozens of restaurants, beautiful river and bridge views. 15 mins on foot and you can cross the Louis I Bridge and be on the other side of the Douro, at the Vila Nova De Gaia waterfront with even more restaurants and all of the Port Houses (Yay).
I was in the "Pink" room, a river facing room with 2 Juliette Balconies. This room can be a bit noisy but I put on my white noise app on my iPhone at night, problem solved.
The hotel seems to be recently renovated in the common areas and everything looked new. The restaurant is for guests only and as far as I can tell is breakfast only, which is included and excellent.
The staff , to the man (and woman) were ALL very welcoming, gracious and their English was spot on
