This hotel is amazing. The location is perfect and the room is lovely especially with a balcony street view! Very central location, close to lots of restaurants, shopping, and landmarks. The staff was so helpful with their recommendations and the room was perfect! The staff was so thoughtful in helping to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday and made our experience seem less for our first time in Portugal. We would come back to this hotel for sure!
