Estadia razoavelmente com atendimento muito atencioso.
Pros:

Quarto confortável e recepção muito boa

Cons:

Pedi uma cama de casal e providenciaram na mesma duas camas e com um berço (não pedido)
Reservei quarto com pequeno-almoço, e no alojamento descobri que o pequeno-almoço era pago à parte.
Piscina interior para hóspedes é pago, o que não faz sentido.

Good value.

Big, confortable and clean room. Possible to get a nice view of the river. Cheap private parking available. Good breakfast. OK restaurant at the premisses if you need lunch or dinner. Easy and cheap to get to the old town by Uber, taxi or metro.

Cons:

Building maintenance is not great, but the room was OK.
