Pros:

Spodobała mi się wielkość pokoju, spokój w nocy oraz łazienka z wanną, co bardzo dziękuję.
Dostępne bezglutenowe pieczywo.

Cons:

Specyfika kraju, ale to trzeba napisać. Słodkie śniadania, dawali dwa rodzaje wędlin, brak warzyw serów.
Chleb tostowy.
Widok w sumie na podwórze, gdzie był śmietnik o agregat klimatyzacji, w lato może być głośno.

Muito Bom
Pros:

Hotel com excelente localização a 10min a pé da estação central. Quarto confortável, limpeza excelente e diária, com ar condicionado, apenas se ouve barulho da rua com a janela aberta. Pequeno almoço razoável para um hotel de três estrelas - sumos, pão de forma, iogurtes, café. Funcionários muito simpáticos

Cons:

Casas de banho um pouco antiquadas, mas sempre muito limpas e higienizadas. Pequeno almoço sem grandes produtos frescos. Quartos pequenos mas confortáveis
