Best rooms

Request a high-floor room (8th–10th floor) facing the Douro River or the city skyline, not Serralves Road. The upper floors reduce street noise and offer better views of the river or the Serralves estate greenery.

Request a room on a higher floor (above 10) to minimize potential street noise from the busy Avenida da Boavista. These rooms will also have access to the high-speed elevators, making it easier to navigate the building.

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on floors 1–3 facing Rua de Serralves. The road carries steady traffic, and lower floors pick up noise from the street and the hotel’s entrance/valet area. Rooms directly above the lobby or near the lift bank on any low floor can also be noisier due to footfall and service carts.

Avoid rooms on the lower floors (below 5) as they may be closer to the hotel's service entrance and potentially noisier.
