Certain rooms include a seating area to relax in after a busy day. Some rooms feature views of the river or city. Every room has a private bathroom.

This small hotel is fantastic treasure in all ways that count! I can’t think of a better location, more comfy bed, a great shower, a warm host! The Belmont52 renovation from traditional stone was done emphasisizing the large windows to the street, private but light, and the pale stones of the wall coordinated with peach furnishings and light brown rugs, a casual elegance that was restful for weary travelers! I could not have asked for a better host than Ana, who arranged our access early (on a holiday) and with whom I had a great conversation at breakfast - with the plumpest grapes I’ve ever eaten, great pastry and a yogurt muesli like a little parfait dessert. our praise is NOT hyperbole, we relied on reviews here!

    Lovely. The property's architecture and interior design flows perfectly within the city industrial-chic aesthetic, with a touch of organic, sustainable, modern vibe. The staff was super kind - particularly Sara - and the prices are honest. Our room was bit tinier than expected but the sunny balcony made up for it. The outdoors garden is the cherry on top - the sound of flowing water and seagulls make you forget that you're in the heart of Oporto's most iconic street. In short, a great place to stay and we'll comeback for sure.

The staff couldn't have been more attentive and professional, the hotel facilities and decor was of the highest quality (absolutely gorgeous interior design) and the breakfast was amazing... Make sure you get the eggs benedict and top up on the included mimosas! The rooftop pool was so relaxing and the location couldn't have been more central. Have recommended to so many friends already.
