The best way to review this hotel is simply by listing the pros and cons.
Pros: it is about a 30 minute drive from the airport.
It is right in the centre of loulê which is a lovely little place with cafes, restaurants, shops and a weekend market.
The hotel surroundings are in a residential area so it is quiet.
The bedrooms are well cleaned daily if you require.
The breakfast is good with fresh fruit, yogurts, cakes, breads and cereals and warm items if you are happy to eat the same variety of items each day.
The reception staff are extremely kind and helpful and are happy to give recommendations nearby. You can ask reception for towels to take out for the day and you don't need to pay a deposit for them. Also the same with the iron!
It does have rooftop pool/lounging area which is open until 8.30pm.
There is a supermarket about 7 minutes walk away.
Cons: the pillows on the beds are extremely small and if you want firmer/bigger pillows you have to pay extra per night.
If a hotel near a beach is what you want then this is not the place unless you are happy to drive about 30 minutes away.
Loulê is quite quiet most of the time and a lot of stuff is closed on holidays and certain days or the week.
The rooftop area was not cleaned regularly and the "bar" was not often manned by anyone. The hotel itself is also warn in areas but would say that it reflects the 3 star eating.
The gym does not have air-conditioning, so it is extremely warm and the equipment old.
