O objetivo era ter um quarto para descansarmos adequadamente, mas qualquer barulho na rua é ouvido no quarto e qualquer
Pros:

Localização e edifício histórico bonito.

Cons:

Insonorização. Ouve-se tudo do que se passa na rua e nos quartos ao lado e em cima.

Recomendo
Pros:

A localização é fantástica. Passamos 1 noite lá. Achamos super confortável, moderno, simples, limpo e relação qualidade preço é muito bom. Pequeno almoço variado, tudo perfeito.

Cons:

O check out é às 12h (como em todos), deram nos uma tolerância de meia hora, pois tínhamos um compromisso às 16h e sendo domingo não tínhamos muito o que fazer nem para onde ir. Poderiam nos ter deixado ficar mais tempo no hotel, a desfrutar ou então terem dado sítios para onde ir. No fim do check out tentei falar disso mas sem sucesso. Tivemos umas horas a andar às voltas até que as horas passassem.

Superb staff running an excellent hotel
Pros:

Perfect location, very central to everything we wanted. Shops, views , restaurants.
Hotel is well appointed and very clean. I liked hard flooring in the bedrooms, and it was washed daily. Beds were comfortable, pillows were rather hard.
The staff were exemplary , nothing was too much trouble , they were so kind to us. They booked taxis and restaurants and found bus times etc.
Breakfast was not quite so good for the price. The hot food was never even warm, the bread was not fresh, but it was a minor detail in an otherwise great stay.

Cons:

Breakfast was expensive and not great. Hot food was not . It just needed a few tweaks to complete the package and make the hotel perfect. Change some choices everyday and the hotel will be perfection
