    There was some confusion with the room allocation, which was dealt with immediately. However, it took a couple of days to sort out the finances.

    Quirky, comfortable, and clean accommodation in an excellent location just a 15 minute walk to the centre of Porto. A very good breakfast to start the day, friendly staff and very secure and quiet. The studio was very comfortable and roomy with a great shower and bed.

    Castle in the heart of the city!

    The beds are hard, but that's the same anywhere in Portugal apparnetly.

    Wow, a true castle in the middle of Porto! We lucked out and got the only room with a huge terrace. Wonderful views of the city and the ocean beyond. The Castello is a gem for sure and the staff are really good. Parking was a bit tricky, but if you are used to navigating tight spaces, not a problem. It's about a 15 min downhill walk to the Duoro river and all the action. There is also a Metro station close by. Breakfast was very good and had lots of local choices.

    The location is a little bit off, 15-20 min walk from the city center. The metro is however close and buses from outside the hotel take you half way down-town. The nearby surroundings a bit disheartening with many deserted and decaying buildings.

    Everything was splendid, except the weather. But we couldn't blame the hotel for that... The garden is a lovely place in good weather and the hotel building is something of its own. Don't forget to study the fantastic parquet floors and the decorations! Small but sufficient room (in the tower), very good beds, good breakfast and no noise.

    What's not to like?

    Incredible upkeep on 200 year old building. Very special parquet floors, marquetry, moldings, beveled glass, tilework, well manicured garden, tower rooms, lovely breakfast buffet.

    The room was very small. Lots of stairs to climb.

    It’s a lovely property with a mix of room types. The breakfast room was beautiful and the food good. The staff was very helpful. Not too far a walk to catch the metro.

    Unfortunately, someone accidentally turned off the power to our room in the night. As a CPAP user, this was not fun.

    Fun to feel like you’re sleeping in a museum! Breakfast was excellent.
