Pros:

De locatie was goed, alles was makkelijk bereikbaar. De kamer was klein, maar prima. Het bed was ook prima. We hadden geen last van andere bezoekers in het verblijf. Voor de prijs was dit verblijf prima.

Cons:

Ik had niet goed kunnen lezen uit de beschrijving op Booking.com dat de badkamers niet bij de kamers zouden zitten. Op zich was dit niet persé een groot probleem, maar het neemt wel wat comfort weg. Daarnaast waren de deuren ook best dun en kon je wel mensen op de gang horen. Dit was overigens wel gedempt met kleedjes op de vloer.

Cons:

The windows let in all the street noise, so it was quite loud at night.

Pros:

Logement parfait pour un séjour en couple à Lisbonne ! La chambre est confortable et les parties communes propres et agréables. Le personnel est aimable, réactif et flexible, ce qui nous a permis de profiter pleinement du voyage. L'emplacement est super pour visiter à pied comme en transport. Je recommande !

Beautiful stay in an authentic Portuguese town house with a wonderfully attentive owner who made sure I knew how everyth
Pros:

I loved everything about this property: The proximity to the city center and the boutique, shops, cafes and bars with everything being in walking distance. The authentic, homely feel, the cleanliness and of course the beautiful cafe next door and pizza shop opposite.

Cons:

The property was under construction (in the main corridor outside next to my room) whilst I was staying and at times when I was working from home. Fortunately I was out most times during the day. Could have done with some more tea options maybe a few biscuits. Having said, the espresso in the waiting room was a nice touch.

Pros:

Bon emplacement, entre le Bairro Alto et l'avenue de la Libertade. La chambre est fonctionnelle mais c'est largement suffisant pour un court séjour, la literie est confortable, les sanitaires sont toujours propres , même s'ils sont partagés.

Cons:

Ma chambre côté rue était un peu bruyante, peut-être faudrait il envisager du double vitrage, heureusement qu'il n'y a pas trop de circulation

Great stay in Dubrovnik
Pros:

Nova Alegria was a wonderful place to stay in Dubrovnik. The location was absolutely perfect and couldn’t have been better, and the space itself was cozy and very comfortable. The host truly went above and beyond — she gave us excellent information about the city at check-in, welcomed us with homemade apricot liqueur, brought extra pillows when we asked, and was always quick to respond to any questions or issues. We had a fantastic stay and would happily return.

Cons:

We thought it would be appropriate to provide coffee at no additional charge rather than the 1-year-old per capsule that was requested.

Super affordable and comfortable hotel, and a great location, a responsive host and management!
Pros:

There are four rooms in the small property and they’re all very comfortable well appointed with new furnishing and quality lens. We’ve stayed in the second room and also this time the fourth room and fourth room is nice because it overlooked a courtyard and it’s not along the street. Although when we were staying in the second room, we didn’t have much traffic noise at all. The staff is super super helpful and friendly; they offered us to drop off our bags early and to leave our bags at the end stay. Everything is clean and well maintained and communication has been excellent.

Cons:

While not a negative, guests may not be familiar with the keypad system used by the property. The keypad (left side of the door) to enter the building is not illuminated until you touch it. Touch anywhere on the keypad so it illuminates and enter the code sent by email followed by the # sign. Once you enter the building, use this same code to open the lock box (right side of door) to retrieve the fob. You will use the fob to access the hotel interior and your room. At the top of the stairs, hold the fob against the middle of the keypad to unlock the hotel door and then turn the silver knob to the right to enter. You will use the fob also to enter your room. We found that it worked best to place the fob against the middle of the keypad (sometimes it would not respond if high or low on the keypad). Be sure to keep your fob with you at all times as the room doors lock automatically if closed.
