Cool ass people!!! Loved my stay there! Very helpful. Very clean. Exceeded my expectations, to be honest. I would have booked an extra night if I had known. Next time I will for sure!!
I literally felt like I was in a movie! Our room had double French doors looking over the water. Street musicals were playing music and the crowd was lively. The hotel staff was incredible and breakfast amazing ! Loved this so much!
Rooms were fantastic, spotless and cleaned daily.breakfast well just WOW!! You order the night before, if you want an omelet or eggs they cook them to order. They bring everything to you.
But above all else the staff, brilliant 👏. From check in to room staff,to breakfast staff all go above and beyond,you can definitely see that the staff enjoy working there.
We will be back.
Loved my stay at Sandeman. Room was really lovely, view across the river gorgeous, shower brilliant. Nice location and loved the lounge area. Staff I interacted with were also very lovely.
Lovely historic building located in the heart of Gaia. We booked a suite and had an amazing view over the Douro River and onto Porto. Everything was easily walkable and the city has so much too see and do. We even did some port tours and got a reduced rate through the front desk. Breakfast was delicious and made to order with tons of choice and wonderful coffee. The only downside to our entire experience was the noise of people coming in and out using the stairs and that our suite was right beside the common area/breakfast area. I would definitely book again but probably not the suite.
The rooms and bathrooms are very well kept and clean, the lounge is great and the staff is very kind. I recommend it to everyone who wants to travel in a hostel, it feels like a hotel!
