Ótima localização!
Pros:

Ótima localização, muito central e de fácil acesso quer para os transportes de acesso ao aeroporto, quer para visitar a cidade. O quarto estava limpo, com troca diária de toalhas e receção 24h. Disponibilizam também chaleira, máquina de café, secador, tábua e ferro para passar roupa.

Cons:

A altura das almofadas, para mim, uma era baixa e com duas ficava demasiado alto. Mas é apenas uma questão do meu gosto pessoal e que não será aplicável a toda a gente.
