Conforto e Sofisticação no Pelo
Pros:

A equipe do hotel é excepcional, todos muito amigáveis e prontos para nos atender. Fomos recepcionadas com um drink de boas vindas o que foi uma surpresa positiva. O café da manhã é maravilhoso, comida muito saborosa. O quarto é super espaçoso e embora fique em uma rua agitada, a área é bem silenciosa.

Cons:

Eu achei a cama de solteiro relativamente pequena - mas nada que fosse um demerito porque ela era bem confortavel. E como sugestão de melhoria, poderia ter uma campainha na porta, cheguei pouco depois das 18h, ja estava escuro e não tinha ninguém na recepção por um momento então a campainha facilitaria a chegada.

Saía do hotel sempre com a certeza de voltar, desta vez tenho dúvidas
Pros:

A arquitetura e história do imóvel estão bem preservadas. A localização no centro histórico é muito boa. Os funcionários são muito simpáticos, principalmente do restaurante e o recepcionista que fica durante a noite.

Cons:

A comunicação antes do check-in não é muito fácil. A nossa acomodação está precisando revitalização. O café da manhã já foi muito bom, está atualmente apenas razoável.

Sería un hotel de 3 estrellas en España. Nunca un 5 estrellas....
Pros:

Su ubicación.

Cons:

No es un hotel de cinco estrellas. Sería un hotel correcto de 3 estrellas en España. No hay restaurante. Toallas y albornoz muy antiguas. Aire acondicionado que enfría poco...

Amazing location and super, brilliant staff who made all the difference! Anna and Gabriel are stars!
Pros:

Fantastic location. Right at the heart of cultural events. So much was within walking distance. It was close to many restaurants and ideally positioned as a base to enjoy the city. Gabriel and Anna on the front desk were amazing as was the lady in the bar who made brilliant fruit smoothies. And as for the breakfast, say no more, we were totally spoiled by the staff and presented with a daily Brazilian feast!

Cons:

It's a shame it did not have a gym being fitness fanatics but you know, that gave us all chance to relax and wind down and it had a lovely lounge facing the square that we camped out in, when we were not going anywhere.
