Proximity to everything is appreciated metro is a 5 min walk and waterfront is 15 min walk. Would have appreciated a safe in the room. Front desk staff were quite professional and helpful

Great location for a city break, breakfast was pretty good too.
Rooms and bathrooms were all modern, best shower we’ve ever had. Lovely shower gel and shampoo too 10/10
Clean rooms, good location from the centre, they were just short on small things in the rooms like one coffee sachet, no milk so you need to go downstairs then the staff will fill a jug for you. No curtesy bottle of water as well.
Well placed hotel just a short distance from the Bolhão metro station lots of shops nearby and within 10 minute walk to the fantastic Mercado market. Rooms are small but well equipped although if you're staying more than a few days there's not much storage room for clothes. Breakfast was adequate, nothing fancy but all that's needed.
Good breakfast

It had everything we needed. The parking lot was about a block away. For 2 1/2 days, we paid 45 euros. The breakfast at this hotel was great. Highly recommended.
