Really good Location and Helpful Staff

excellent locationhelpful staffcheerful assistancemissing pastries
The location is excellent for exploring. I found it lovely being so close to the water. The staff was friendly and helpful, particularly mafalda. She was always cheerful and gave assistance when needed.
The breakfast lacked some options. I missed having items like pastries available. The breakfast was otherwise satisfactory, but some additional variety would improve it.

The hotel benefits from its proximity to placa do comercio. Museums and city tours start nearby. Its close proximity to many restaurants and shopping adds convenience. The river is also easily accessible.

the location was fantastic, close to metro and bus stations. many good restaurants and coffee shops were nearby. i also appreciated the friendly staff and the nice breakfast.
The bathroom sometimes had a strange sewer smell. the shower lacked a proper shelf for shampoo and soap. I had to put bottles on the floor. i noticed the room was not soundproof. I could hear noises from other rooms.

great locationsewer smellflimsy holder
the location was acceptable, near the cruise port, restaurants and the city centre.
The bathroom smelled like a sewer, really unpleasant. there wasn't a proper shelf in the shower. Just a flimsy ikea soap holder, so my toiletries kept falling. also, the room wasn't soundproof at all. I could hear everything from the room upstairs and next door!!!
