Algengar spurningar og falin ábendingar
Allt sem þú vilt vita áður en þú bókar.
Is there a pool?
No, there is no pool. There is a gym and a spa, but no swimming facilities.
Is it noisy at night?
Yes, if you face the street. Bairro Alto is a nightlife hub. Request a courtyard room if silence is a priority.
How does parking work?
There is no hotel parking. You must park at the nearby public garage (Calçada do Combro or similar) for ~€25/day.
Is breakfast included?
Not in the standard rate. It costs ~€22 per person and is a high-quality buffet with à la carte options.
Is it kid-friendly?
Technically yes, but the vibe is very 'grown-up wine bar' and there are no specific facilities for children.
How far is the airport?
About 20-30 minutes by taxi/Uber, depending on traffic. The hotel can arrange a transfer for a fee.
Innherja ábendingar
- ✨
The 'vertical garden' in the courtyard is beautiful but makes lower-level rooms quite dark.
- ✨
Ask the sommelier for a private tour of the Port Wine Institute shop connected to the hotel.
- ✨
The 5th-floor rooms have slanted ceilings—charming for some, a headache hazard for tall guests.

💡Room service menu is limited compared to the main restaurant offerings.
