Pros:

Accueil sympathique, climatisation en panne donc fenêtre ouverte et odeur de cigarette venant de l'extérieur. Petit déjeuner correct. Cet Hôtel manque d'un sérieux management .

Cons:

Bouteille d'eau ouverte et bue en accueil dans la chambre 😳

Pros:

posizione perfetta per visitare il centro, a 5 minuti a piedi, di Vila do Castelo; immobile storico molto bello e riattatto ad albergo; non ha parcheggio ma una convenzione con enorme parcheggio pubblico interrato, a pochi passi; camere vecchiotte, pavimenti in legno scricchiolanti, per cui di notte, se arrivano clienti poco educati, si sente tutto; bagno ampio e pulito ma con vasca vecchia e scomoda, a noi è capitato un bagno con la luce al neon che impiegava 30/40 sec. per accendersi; colazione sufficiente ma con disposizione del tavolo del buffet assurda, per cui i cibi sono disposti quasi uno sull'altro ed i clienti devono anche fare una rampa di scale per raggiungere il proprio tavolino
Receptionist all'arrivo molto gentile e disponibile anche per prenotare il ristorante che avevamo scelto( Pedra Alta , a qualche km fuori Vila , solo pesce ma ultra consigliabile)

Cons:

disposizione dei prodotti per la colazione

Pidia ser excepcional!
Pros:

Da localização e obviamente da casa em si.

Cons:

Do pequeno almoço e das almofadas e da insegurança ao entrar na banheira. A qualidade do enchimento das almofadas é péssimo. O pequeno almoço é de fraca qualidade começando pelo pão. Uma terra com tão bom pão servem pãezinhos congelados. O café é péssimo e o leite nem sempre está bem quente. O fiambre é de qualidade duvidosa. A limpeza das mesas na parte exterior é muito descuidada e há poucas cadeiras para os lugares nas mesas.
Podia ser um alojamento óptimo se entendessem que há pormenores que fazem a diferença mas é pena que como hóspede tenha sentido uma gerência bastante distraída.
