"El cuarto más grande vale la pena, es grande Gran vista de Porto porque está en Gaia. No tiene elevador, Subes 20 escalones para llegar a tu cuarto. Está junto al río, gran visto pero puede ser ruidoso para quien se acuesta para saber que oye. Buena ubicación. Desayuno decente. Personal muy amable. Mucho joven, Es como un WeWork de hotel. El tour a las bodegas Sandeman vale la pena."
