Don”t bother

It would have been great if we were elderly Portuguese people, the staff were rude we were not welcome there as an english couple. Its a place for older Portuguese people to have an affordable holiday. Don't sell to the english

Staying at this hotel had versions of "The good, the bad & the ugly"! The good being the location snd breakfast. The bad was that it took over an hour to be checked in by 1 receptionist- it was check in time so should of had more staff on. The ugly being there was an major issues with flies (coming from outside , have no problem with nature) but the issue was it took 2 days for them to sweep up the piles of dead flies that were all over reception.

Absolutely great place to stay. Location ideal. Close to the action in the Old Town but far enough away to not be affected by the noise. Easy walking distance to everything. Great historic location. Updating Balcony views were great. Breakfast was more than acceptable. Great variety. Only complaint we had was no internet for 2 of the 4 days we were there? Not good. But I would come back.
