Uma boa surpresa!
Pros:

Da higiene e do tamanho do quarto e banheiro. E claro da localização, ao lado da estação central, e da catedral.

Cons:

A recepção é muito simples, e o tapete do elevador meio solto, mas não alteraram em nada minha estadia.

Our stay was lovely, room was lovely but the lift in the lobby wasn’t nice
Pros:

The location is perfect

Cons:

The lift was awful… needs repainting- new floor or replacement with a new lift. It gave the hotel a bad image.
