    The room and the bathroom are very small, very old and ugly.

    The location, the breakfast and the staff.

    For some staff, I recommend using Google Translate and preparing more complex requests in Portuguese. No elevator (you have to climb stairs to the first and second floors). Breakfast: No vegetables or alternatives (e.g., lactose-free yogurt). Room: Mold in the corners, an old balcony, and a lot of noise from other rooms and the street (from some machine), though earplugs helped. One night, we experienced water leaking from the ceiling in the bathroom, followed by a strong flow of water from the floor above (attic) – it seemed like water being released from an air conditioning unit. That day, a ladder was set up to the attic, so they were working on something, but we were a bit worried...

    The accommodation matched previous reviews and offered good value for money. The staff was friendly. Great location, close to metro and bus stops. Room amenities: I appreciated the sanitary products (shampoo, shower gel, soap), and the mattresses were comfortable. Breakfast: Plenty of sweet pastries, fruits, and yogurts. Check-in and check-out were seamless.

    That it didn’t said in the description that it didn’t have elevator

    The location was not bad, but it was not near the center as it said in the description, but the metro station was really close so that helped

    If I had to complain about something, it would only be the limited variety and options for breakfast, but given the price, one can't expect much more.

    In general terms, all good. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

    Arrived at night, first room they gave me had no balcony and it had a crib. Since I booked with balcony, talked with staff and they gave me a new room but it was freezing since AC was on at 16°C, had an extra bed in the room so not much space left. Had to ask to turn off the AC and the remotes stay at the reception so if I wanted to turn it on later I would have to have called them up again. AC needs a cleaning, shower curtains too.

    Front office guy was nice and did his best to make it a good stay. Overall it was an ok last minute stay but wouldn't stay again. Really nice water pressure though. Breakfast was ok.

    The place needs some renovations. The bathtub had tiles missing, the shower was leaking and squirting. Washed in towels.

    Nice and helpful staff, good breakfast, the sheets smelled fresh and pleasant.

    Hotel needs reservation or better care, the room and bathroom are old and smell damp, it wasn't pleasnt. We couldn't use the AC, because they told us to call someone from staff to turn it on or off for us, which we thought was a hasle and didn't want to bother anyone. Even tho the location is good because it's close to the metro, it is also close to the hospital so if u are woken easily you won't like it, the sirens keep going on and it's very noisy. I wasn't bothered by it but my partner kept waking up..

    Staff was nice and friendly, close to metro station and had a simple but nice breakfast

    The TV was broken,but we stayed only for one night ,so no big deal.

    I mean ,you get what you pay for ,so all was ok. Your stay will be heavily influenced by how loud or quite are other guests in the motel. For us we where lucky to have a quite night. The air condition unit works well ,though for some reason it is stuck on 17 degrees ,so eventually you will be freezing ,if you turn it on for the night.

    No decaf coffee, there are some,like myself who need to take certain meds, that don't allow me to have caffeine, so it meant my meager breakfast had to be washed down with water. If they only bought some decaf sachets, or a jar, it would do... Parking is on the street, a busy street with traffic, if you can find a space, you'll be freaking out about your car being tapped by a passing bus, or if your like me, an amputee, walking several blocks after the stress of looking for a space, it's not cool...

    It's not too far from the interesting bits, and the staff were helpful...

    But, the door to the bathroom could not close. And a hotel worker went inside the room, while we did not check out yet.

    The price and breakfast were good for the quality you expect. And the personal were very friendly.

    Noisy ventilation system in our room. That made us to look for another hotel, 11pm. But this was handled professionally by the employee present that moment.

    The problem with our was solved with a refund, no hesitation and understanding our concerns.
