Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Lovely older style hotel with a winding wooden staircase up the middle. The elevator/lifts worked well.
Service: Great service from the friendly front desk staff. Special shout-out to Vinicius, who was particularly friendly and helpful.
Room: The room was on the main floor with a kitchen, living room/lounge, and half bath. Bedroom and full bath one floor down. Very spacious, clean, with cleaning staff every second day.
Bathrooms: Half bath was clean and modern. Lower level bathroom had a sink, toilet, shower, and towel drying heater. Modern and clean.
Noise Levels: Very quiet. Our room faced the main road, but we didn't notice any noise.
Internet: Unsecured, which was concerning.
Location: 5-minute walk to the grocery store, 10-minute walk to the major metro station. Great location, 15-minute walk to Ribeira and other attractions. Cafes and restaurants nearby.
Amenities: Lovely back courtyard with a pool. Too chilly to use the pool, but enjoyed sitting outside with a drink.
Kitchen: Reasonably well-equipped, but the knives were not sharp. No larger style coffee mugs.
Value for Money: Good value for the price given its amenities and location.
Safety: Felt very safe in the hotel and surrounding area.
Extras: Small gym and comfortable lounge area.
I would definitely return.
