Horribly noisy! Goid for young partiers, not for seniors
Pros:

Clean, modern, nicely decorated, great location. Large, very spacious room. Comfortable beds with clean sheets and duvets, reading lamps.

Cons:

1-VERY noisy! Bars with blasting music on the 1st and 4th floors; all rooms subject to hearing one or the other.
2-Lobby also very noisy, and congested because check-in desk is in the middle of lobby restaurant; you have to drag your suitcase between diners at tables, and shout at desk clerk to be heard over the music.
3-Elevator & stairs cannot be used without room key! Once when I went downstairs without the key (leaving my companion in the room) I could not get back to the room!
4-Air conditioner in room was freezing and staff said it could NOT be turned down or turned off! We got heavy blankets to use.
5-Could not check in until 3:30 pm; we were too exhausted to explore the city and waited in the hotel "lobby" for two hours-- which is a sofa in the middle of the lobby restaurant-- amid the extremely loud music.
5-No window screens.
6-Heavy drape to cover most windows at night; however one opaque window had no drape or curtain, so the room had a glow all night from street lights.
7-Cracks in the walls and tears in the furniture.

Great location and rooms but VERY loud
Pros:

Good location, very spacious rooms that were nicely decorated, with a very helpful staff.

Cons:

It was incredibly loud and impossible to sleep at all. That is more because of the location than because of the hotel. If you are there to party, that works, if you are there to relax, you'll be disappointed.

Boa localização, com alguns poréns...
Pros:

Área segura e próximo a Praça Principal. Funcionários atenciosos e prestativos.

Cons:

Muito barulho por causa do rooftop. Inacessibilidade. Decoração imprópria para menores. Fui com minha sobrinha de 14 anos e achei a decoração sexualizada inapropriada. Caro para o que oferece.

Pros:

Excellent breakfast, the location and staff were excellent. Also we enjoyed the rooftop bar

Smell from the toilet, the bed mattress lumpy and our friend had a much nicer corner double room that was less expensive than our king sized bedroom

Good location
Pros:

Central location in the Casco, nice surroundings. Room was spacious.
There was hot water.
With proper earplugs I couldn’t hear the noise.

Cons:

The hotel could use a renovation, it looked nicer on the photos. It had a hostel vibe.
Our room had a bad smell.
For this price range we expected a little more.
