Pros:

Hotel bellissimo, moderno. Con SPA che non ho potuto vedere perchè viaggiando per lavoro si ha poco tempo per queste cose. Stanze grandi e ordinate, pulite e con tutti i confort.
Vicino al fiume e alla entrata della città, perfetto anche per uscire velocemente e prendere l'autostrada. Wifi con scarso segnale nella mia stanza. Colazione completa di tutto, dal dolce al salato, frutta e latticini.
Parcheggio in loco amplio e gratuito.

Cons:

Wifi con scarso segnale nella mia stanza.

Foi breve mas o suficiente para despertar o desejo de voltar e aproveitar melhor
Pros:

Foi uma estadia muito breve, apenas entre as 02:00 e as 10:00 da manhã, mas deu para perceber que é um excelente hotel. Despertou interesse em voltar e aproveitar mais o espaço. Não ficamos indiferentes.

Cons:

Eventualmente o pequeno almoço tem margem para ter mais variedade e outra organização no espaço (menos confusa).

Estadia hotel Santana
Pros:

Fomos 1 noite para usufruir do spa e relaxar. O que íamos fazer conseguimos, o staff muito simpático, piscina espectacular, localização e pequeno almoço 5*.

Cons:

Não gostamos da cama, muito desconfortável e o wc estava a previsar de uma manutenção pois ao tomar banho a casa de banho ficou toda molhada por falta de proteção na banheira.
Nota: no jacuzzi deveria ter barra de segurança, pois enquanto lá estivemos cairam duas pessoas ao entrar.

Do not do it! It sounds like it should be good but it’s awful!
Pros:

Not much! Location was ok I guess

Cons:

Staff were terrible! We had the lunch because we were starving when we arrived - food was terrible! One of our group was vegetarian- couldn’t get anything decent to eat. The air conditioning didn’t work at all, and the breakfast was in-edible! The worst hotel of our trip - never again!

Perfect stay for relaxation
Pros:

Perfect place to stay to relax after a long trip. Nice sauna, spa and pool facilities, which stays open till 12 AM, and nice lovely rooms overlooking the river. The views were incredible. The breakfast buffet was also great.

Cons:

All things were great, but boom service has a relatively steep charge (10 euros) and is unavailable after 10 PM.
