There were 3 good things about this property: 1. Great range of restaurants around this location. 2. Boat trips, water taxi is within walking distance. 3. Excellent service thanks to Liudmila. On the dark side , the beach is around 35 min walk, there was no air conditioner (had two fans instead), facilities was very basic and rooms are small. Overall was good for the price.

Basic but reflects in price. Rooms are FREEZING

Basic but reflects in price. The rooms were absolutely freezing and there was no duvets provided, just a thin sheet and weirdly a curtain to cover yourself. It was so cold in the night my daughter was waking up crying, they really need some heaters or duvets. Lady on the desk was friendly.

Achei o local limpo. Passei só uma noite e não ficaria mais que uma noite. É bom para quem está de passagem,ou então para jovens que queiram ir "curtir" e só precisem de um sítio para descansar umas horas.

Vreselijk

De staat was vreselijk, er was mogelijkheid om te parkeren maar dat koste €23 per dag in een openbare parkeergarage. Het was totaal uitgeleefd en ze vroeg ook nog €20 per nacht voor de hond. Veel lawaai en stank van uitlaat gassen

Forferdelig!

Det skulle ikke vært lov til å drive et hotel uten airconditioninganlegg.Vi holdt på å kveles i varmen. Ettersom det var +28 ute var det like varmt inne. Heldigvis skulle vi bare være 1 natt. Styr unna dette hotellet, selv om det var billig.

Great host at the front desk. Friendly greeting, helped bring our bags upstairs, fresh towels and very helpful. Great price for a one night stay! Only drawback, there’s a church right across the street and the bell rings a lot!

Ubicación ideal. Olor insoportable.

La ubicación es lo único bueno, ubicación ideal en realidad. Ahora bien, respecto al alojamiento, el olor a viejo y a cerrado es insoportable en la habitación. En el cuarto de baño no nos atrevimos a entrar sin zapatillas. Muy muy viejo.

Cosy location, nice hostess

Location - close to the harbour and many small Portuguese restaurants right outside the door. Close to the supermarket and the church as well. Room - since the streets in this area are quite narrow, the room comes at eye level with the neighbours, there are shutters in the windows if you want privacy. The water pressure in the shower wasn't great and, even though clean, the bathroom didn't feel super fresh. You can feel the springs in the bed and the pillows were lumpy. Staff - only met with one member of staff, the hostess. At first she seemed quiet and reserves but she warmed up. She seemed to be working all the time, she was always available. Overall, the hotel was great for anybody who won't spend a lot of time each day in the room. It was clean and had a good location.

OK hotell centralt

Mindre hotell utan frukost. Standarden ok. Rent, välskött med nya handdukar dagligen. Det centrala läget medför risk för störande ljud från intilliggande mindre torg och bakgata. Airkondition saknas. Takterass. Mycket bra pris off season.
