“Hotel at the Centre”
Porta Maqueda was a lovely hotel! The location was perfect, right in the heart of the city and not far from the marina. The staff were lovely and the room was spacious and always very clean. The view on our balcony was great! Would definitely recommend this hotel and definitely would stay there again!
