"I booked well in advance and was able to get a twin room with balcony for single use at a very good price. The view from the balcony was NOT picturesque, however it faced a side street it was very quiet. I understand that rooms without balconies face the main road and traffic noise can be a concern. There was no balcony furniture, so I couldn’t really sit out there unless I pulled the sizeable desk chair out. The room was a good size and didn’t feel claustrophobic at all. The bathroom was old worldy, not modern, but came complete with bidet. There was no conditioner in the shower, but I have found that to be the case in many hotels. Ladies, bring your conditioner to Portugal. My hair looks like straw! There was a mini fridge in the room, a kettle, and a couple of sachets of instant coffee and two teabags supplied. There wasn't a bottle of water supplied in the room. but there is a mini market a couple of blocks away. The hotel has restaurant and offered a set evening meal for €17.50 (April 2026), though I did not have it. But I did have the breakfast buffet, which came included in my room rate. The buffet foods were plentiful, complete with all sorts of breads and rolls, jams, pastries including pastel Nata, a coffee machine which you could program to your specification, a juice machine, cereals, and a lovely assortment of cut fruits, including melon, watermelon, oranges, and whole apples and bananas. All in all a very nice hotel and my experience was very positive."
