Very nice.
Pros:

The location is perfect. We went everywhere on foot, we didn’t need any other means of transportation.
The staff were super friendly and nice. They even speak French!
It was very clean and cleaned every day by the cleaning staff.
There is a mini fridge/mini bar in the room (with water, soda…). You pay for whatever you take from it. (Even the chocolate and chips placed on it)
Air conditioning is available in the room.

Cons:

It was a bit old in design but that’s not too bad, I guess.
Isolation was also not perfect. We could hear people from other rooms but I feel like that’s a thing almost everywhere in Portugal? But it was calmer at night, although one could be woken up by sounds sometimes.
Bedding was old fashioned and not that great in my opinion. Some of the sheets looked like towels? And pillows were a bit too small I would say. I feel like there’s room for improvement regarding this point.
