Ótimo hotel
Pros:

Ótima localização, ótimo café-da-manhã, ótimas instalações.

Cons:

Não gostei de ser surpreendida pela piscina do SPA, que é aquecida, exigir uso de toucas. Cobram-se quatro euros para comprar a touca do hotel. Além disso, o cofre do nosso quarto estava quebrado, e não foi consertado apesar do nosso pedido.

Passable
Pros:

Breakfast was surprisingly good, after seeing the bedroom I was not expecting such a complete breakfast, just missed american coffee served at the table but besides that food seemed fresh.

Cons:

I don’t know how many years this hotel is but it felt old, the rooms even older with very used carpets and these rooms are definitely not soundproof, you can ear every conversation (that you obviously don’t want to). They have parking but you must pay even if you’re a guest (maybe if you stay in a suite you might get free parking). Breakfast was surprisingly good but the noise was a turn off, no atmosphere, no soft background music, just people talking too loud as the dining room echoes. Do not recommend, unfortunately.
