This hotell is well located in the historical center within walking distance to shops, buss & train station, sea side walk etc. The rooms was larger than in many other design hotels we visited and the cleaning was quick and well performed. The breakfast was buffet style with many choices including both warm & cold food, cakes, fruit, cheese, fresh juice etc - very rich and good! The staff was friendly and the owner Dona Rosa Maria was very helpfull and sugested us walking trails, good communications etc. The only drawbacks one can mention with the hotel is that some fresh paint and new carpets could improve the experience further and that some English language news channel (CNN, BBC ...) would be a nice addition to the Portugese ones.

“Interesting, bit expensive and brave design”

Some pluses and minuses - but overall a good experience. Pluses would include a good central location that nevertheless gets you away from the very centre of town, important during the annual festivals. So when people say it's down a quiet street, be thankful. It's an old convent by the looks of it… lisää

Some pluses and minuses - but overall a good experience. Pluses would include a good central location that nevertheless gets you away from the very centre of town, important during the annual festivals. So when people say it's down a quiet street, be thankful. It's an old convent by the looks of it, converted into a modern hotel. The staff are very courteous and the rooms have great air conditioning and are clean and bright. Minuses I'd have to note are some of the design features. The bath behind the bed might be risky for anybody with mobility issues to climb into and watch where you aim the shower! The beds were really hard. That was quite a turn off. There's no lift so if your room is on the upper floor and you're not too strong, make sure you get help with the luggage.

“I have reservations recommending - uncomfortable bed!”

Great location in an historic building. Architect design will appeal to some more than others. My main problems were that the bed was uncomfortable and unstable, moving every time my partner moved, causing a terrible nights sleep.

Great location in an historic building. Architect design will appeal to some more than others. My main problems were that the bed was uncomfortable and unstable, moving every time my partner moved, causing a terrible nights sleep. There is nowhere to put your cases, so you have to unpack on the floor, but then there is virtually no hanging space and no drawers. Creating an unliveable space. It was raining heavily the day we got there and it was impossible to dry our clothes. The bathroom is tiny. You have to preorder your breakfast and what they serve is delicious, but the buffet is very limited. No muesli or granola. Also don’t think about changing your breakfast order for the next day or you’ll get a snarl!
