Pros:

Amei o atendimento, tanto o Luís quanto a Sara da recepção eram uns queridos, e os demais funcionários (camareira e meninos do bar) também eram muito simpáticos. A localização é excelente , apesar de um pouco afastado das estações de comboio e camionagem, era possível chegar a pé em 20/25 minutos , e a vista era espetacular, a pousada fica num ponto estratégico com vista para a ponte e a Espanha, no final do centro histórico. O pequeno almoço era simples mas tinha de tudo, muito bem organizado e servido numa sala com uma linda vista. O quarto era espaçoso, a cama grande, tinha frigobar e TV com alguns bons canais fechados.

Cons:

Apesar de tantos pontos positivos, considerando exclusivamente o preço praticado, que mesmo em promoção não foi barato, acredito que a pousada carece de um bom upgrade. A roupa de cama, nomeadamente o edredom e travesseiros não eram muito confortáveis, a cortina do quarto estava rasgada e o espelho totalmente manchado por conta do tempo. Também senti falta de mais cuidado com as amenidades de banho (quase inexistentes). Uma chaleira no quarto também seria de muito bom gosto.

Apesar de tudo, deixo claro que os pontos positivos, principalmente a vista e atendimento, me marcaram o suficiente para querer voltar, apesar do preço.
