Bom
Pros:

Otimo café da manhã, localizado em local tranquilo. Camas confortáveis.

Cons:

O banheiro muito apertado, uma pessoa grande não consegue sentar no vaso sanitário sem encostar no boxe e no lavatório.A qualidade da francesinha servida no restaurante não é boa.

Pros:

O bar do hotel era acolhedor e os espaços públicos do hotel estão muito bem conseguidos.

Cons:

Há pouca coordenação entre os funcionários. Não tínhamos roupões no quarto, fomos à receção pedir e foi-nos dito que iriam muito brevemente entregá-los ao quarto. Entretanto, passou mais de 1h sem estes serem entregues. Tivemos novamente de nos deslocar à receção para os recebermos.
O tamanho do quarto também não foi o esperado, sendo bastante mais pequeno do que aquele que é demonstrado nas fotografias.

Bien lire les commentaires avant de réserver
Pros:

Le personnel du petit déjeuner est attentionné même si l'on sent que les jeunes qui sont en formation ne sont pas encadrés comme il faudrait.

Cons:

L'hôtel est quand même assez excentré et surtout il ne faut pas avoir peur de marcher car dans une belle descente.
Je pense que les attributions des étoiles n'ont pas du tout le même critère d'attribution qu'en France.
Nous avions une chambre au 2e étage du côté de la réception soit juste devant les compresseurs de climatisation qui font un bruit d'enfer la nuit surtout.
La chambre était correcte mais trop sombre pour nous, tout est en noir et on ne pouvait pas ouvrir les rideaux car vue directe sur l'entrée.
De plus le sol est très mou par la moquette et ça vibre dès que l'on marche.
Il n'y a pas d' insonorisation et les installations sont viellottes et mal suivies.
Dans notre sdb la tablette de la douche était cassé, le dérouleur de papier aussi.
Nous avons l'impression que le personnel fair son maximum pour le tenir à flot mais personne chapeaute l'ensemble.
Déçue de mon choix.
À la piscine intérieure, il faut acheter un bonnet à 5 euros, je pense qu'il aurait pu être donner vu le prix de la nuitée.
Les photos montrent un hôtel assez spacieux alors qu'en fait il n'en est rien.
De plus, nous sommes assez éloignés du Pont Dom- Luis.

Clean and comfortable enough
Pros:

The room was comfortable and was cleaned every day in the evening. No view for us but we didn’t mind. Everything workable and clean and comfortable enough. The spa was fantastic! The women that served us really knew what they were doing and we came away so relaxed! The bar staff were tremendous, so friendly and chatty! Would return to the hotel purely for their company

Cons:

The pool was closed and there was no explanation as to why? There’s obviously still some work going on around the place but the weather was glorious so it would’ve been nice getting to use the pool.
