Hotel S. Gabriel

The hotel is on a busy street which makes finding it and the attached parking a little challenging, especially in the dark. Our room was at the back of the hotel so very peaceful. Friendly staff on reception and helpful cleaning staff. The room was a little dated, but clean and a good size, with air con. No fussy pillows and extra "stuff", just what you need, a bed, a wardrobe, a chair and two bedside cabinets. The bathroom had been nicely  redecorated and the shower was large, with excellent quality towels. The bed was really comfortable, first time in a long time, we've slept under sheets and blankets, but it was very cosy, and we both slept well. Good selection at breakfast, however, no eggs or cooked food, but good coffee. The breakfast room is small so we ate outside which was very pleasant on a nice morning. Cannot beat the location. It's a five minute walk away from a shopping centre with loads of eating places, and shops! Another ten minutes and you are in the centre of the city where all the tourist attractions are. Another short stroll takes you to the river bank.

It is a good choice if you plan to discover the city. The hotel is the next street from the main pedestrian street and in a walk distance from all the main sightseeings. The hotel has private parking place that is extremely important for the center of Porto. Breakfast is good: a choice of traditional bakeries, some cheese and sausage. The hotel is tidy, clean, but old-fashioned a little. Really recommend it

The staff was very kind, the guy at the reception also spoke spanish other than portuguese. We were even allowed to leave our bags at the hotel after the check-out. The room was clean and the bathroom had a very nice shower. Also, the hotel is extremely close to the city centre.

Breakfast was great, buns, pastries, coffe, milk, cereal and fruits - much more than what you'd find for such a price. Loved the room. Clean, smiley personnel, helpful with all our inquiries, and they even prepped a tiny bag of yogurt, fruits and cakes from the day before for me because I had a 6 a.m. flight out. Location is 2 minutes walk to Santa Catarina, so it's pretty easy to find. I'd definitely stay there again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Free parking free breakfast and free wifi. We couldn't believe the price we paid for all this. Breakfast was plentiful and a good variety with indoor or outdoor seating in a pleasant patio area. The hotel was pretty central for all sightseeing. We used the yellow hop on hop off bus which was just around the corner. We loved "Mike Davis"....he was so informative about everything on check in. All in all a great stay.
