Porto A.S. 1829 Hotel Review
Situated a mere 5 minutes' stroll from the historical Ribeira Square, the charming Porto A.S. 1829 Hotel boasts ample rooms overlooking the city. The all-seater Estadio do Dragao Football Stadium is placed about a 10-minute ride away, and the hilltop Romanesque Porto Cathedral is in the immediate vicinity of the 4-star historic hotel.
The restaurant at the A.S. 1829 Porto serves a buffet breakfast every morning. European cuisine can be enjoyed in the à la carte Largo restaurant. You can visit a bar situated close by and taste Portuguese cuisine.
This luxurious accommodation is placed about 20 km from Francisco Sa Carneiro airport and 550 metres from such cultural venues as the diverse museum "Portuguese Centre of Photography". Set within walking distance to an underground station, the entirely renovated A.S. 1829 is a few minutes drive from the lavishly designed historic Livraria Lello Book Store.
The charming property is situated within 15 minutes' walk of the landscaped gardens "Jardins do Palacio de Cristal", while Terminal dos Loios bus station lies a mere 400 metres away.
Offering ample bathrooms with hair dryers and towels, the allergy-free rooms are fitted with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels as well as a mini-fridge-bar. The nice touches include soundproof windows together with a writing desk. A separate toilet and a shower are available in private bathrooms.
