Multiple reviews explicitly praise cleanliness (e.g., 'Limpeza', 'Very clean'), with only isolated notes of dust in a single room—overall above average.
Service
9.7
Consistently very positive mentions of staff friendliness and helpfulness (excellent accueil, attentive reception, Monika praised, staff left birthday touches) justify a top-tier score.
Location
9.6
Location repeatedly highlighted as excellent or ideal for sightseeing in many reviews; clearly one of the hotel's strongest points.
Room Quality
6.5
Numerous complaints about small rooms, hard beds, poor mattresses, dated décor, tiny bathrooms and specific shower/fixture problems lower this category noticeably.
Amenities
8.2
Mixed reports: good in-room safes/fridges and general facilities, but recurring A/C issues and lack of some practical fittings (e.g., no plug for hairdryer, towel hooks) keep score moderate.
Value for Money
7.5
Some guests question room value/price (one explicit comment about seeking alternatives for the price) while others imply reasonable value given location and service—slightly below overall.
Food and Beverage
9
Breakfast repeatedly praised (great/excellent/very good buffet), with one note about monotony over multiple days; overall a strong point.
Overall Experience
9.5
Overall sentiment is very positive driven by location, service and breakfast, despite room-size and some comfort issues—guests generally satisfied with their stay.

Boa estadia, com ótimo atendimento e café da manhã. Mas o quarto oferecido deixou muito a desejar,
Pros:

Pessoal da recepção muito atenciosos. simpáticos. eficientes. Café da manhã muito bom com diversidade e qualidade. A localização muito boa também.

Cons:

O quarto que nos foi oferecido foi sofrível. abria a janela e via paredes. Poeira no telefone e mesinhas. Não tinha onde pendurar a toalha de rosto. O basculante de madeira que foi colocado na janela do banheiro, quando aberto, atrapalhava muito a circulação no banheiro, que ja e minúsculo. A luz do banheiro muito fraca. sem lixeira no banheiro.
