Quarto razoável, mas apenas com duas almofadas e muito baixas; o Bar foi o mais fraco que encontrei até à presente data, incluindo até os de 3 estrelas, sem uma simples tosta ou amendoins para acompanhar cerveja. Como positivo os funcionários, todos muito simpáticos.

Uma estadia feliz

Estadia maravilhosa, com um staff verdadeiramente incrível. Desde a simpatia das meninas da receção até à atenção do pessoal do pequeno-almoço e do restaurante Vista – Serra da Estrela, que, por coincidência feliz, reabria precisamente no dia da minha estadia. A única ressalva é a ausência de opções de comida fora dos horários habituais. Num sábado de verão, com calor intenso, o bar da piscina abriu apenas às 15h30 e encerrou às 17h20, deixando mais de 30 hóspedes na área de lazer sem alternativas para bebidas ou snacks. Fora este detalhe, tudo esteve simplesmente impecável.

Excelente localização, instalações com ar velho

O Hotel tem uma excelente localização, estacionamento, uma bela vista mas as instalações parecem mal cuidadas dando assim um aspecto de velho. Se quiser aproveitar as instalações, vai ficar devendo, agora se for somente para dormir e passar o dia fora, uma boa opção.

Stunning views and comfortable rooms.

Spectacular views. Very clean and comfortable. Up a very long and windy, steep road so didn't want to venture back out and ate dinner at the hotel. Food was good enough but rather pricy for what you got. Breakfast was spectacular though.

Ne conseille pas !

L'hôtel manque énormément d'entretien que ce soit à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur. Nous avons soit disant été surclassé. La chambre : Lampe tachée, peu de lumière (un spot à l'entrée, une lampe sur pied et deux petites lampes de chevets), le papier peint qui se décolle. Dans la salle de bain le joint de la baignoire mal fait, baignoire balnéo qui ne fonctionne pas et fuite d'eau au coin de la baignoire. La chasse d'eau des toilettes qui fonctionne pas correctement, obligé de prendre la douchette de la baignoire comme chasse d'eau. Le resto n'était pas catastrophique et le petit déjeuner non plus. Le seul point positif est la piscine et la vue C'est maximum un 2 étoiles

No es categoría 4 estrellas. Necesita reformas

El personal del hotel muy amable y muy agradable. Buenos profesionales. Sin embargo, el hotel no es de categoría 4 estrellas. Sus instalaciones necesitarían una reforma profunda y tiene muchas deficiencias. Soplaba el viento y sonaba muchísimo en las habitaciones (cerramiento de ventanas muy malo). La calefacción funcionaba mal y pasamos mucho frío.
