Property is very beautiful and staff very friendly and helpful. Delicious breakfast. Unfortunately the bed was severely sagging in the middle which made it very uncomfortable to sleep and the water in the shower was not hot. The very nicely designed property was not maintained as carefully as you might wish - stainless steel hinges and walls were just painted over.
We arrived late for an overnight stay. The room was great with the exception of the cleanliness; in fact there was some hairs in the bathroom.
Other than that it was a great hotel even if somewhat older.
The breakfast room has amazing view to the River Lima. Do not miss it.
The staff and management were extremely helpful when we discovered on leaving that our car had been stolen overnight. They allowed us to make multiple calls and helped by scanning documents which speeded up the insurance process.
We arrived at about 8pm and only one person manning reception which is pretty normal in Europe. Unfortunately for us and the group behind us the check-in person was dealing with a phone booking. It went for 15 minutes!
I really enjoyed the hotel building itself. It had areas of unchanged decor from when it was originally built (probably late 60's) and these were in excellent condition.
Rooms were very comfortable and clean. Our view was out over the rear parking lot with a view of the marshland beyond. The overflowing rubbish bin in the parking lot was clearly inadequate in size as there were some cats able to poke around inside. At least there wouldn't be any rats sighted.
Free breakfast selection was limited to Corn Flakes, and normal Portuguese breads, ham, and cheeses. There was no fruit available. I am fine with this though as this normally isn't offered at what was our price point of âŹ55.
Nice shower, temperature, and pressure.
