My wife and I stayed for 2 nights in November as part of a deal with Easyjet holidays. We arrived at the Hotel at midday and they found us a room to check in to early which was on the fifth floor with a small balcony.
The room was ok, a little faded but clean, comfortable and well heated ( we needed it the first night!). The breakfast is reasonable, there is fruit, cereal, crossaints, and 3 kinds of egg to put on your toast.
The hotel position is great, just off the av liberdada and 10 minutes walk to the main square. We found a very good local eatery Restuarant Bela Ipanea which is on the way to the town on the right as you walk down av liberdada. You can sit outside, stand and eat at the counter or sit and eat in the dining area and we found the local food very reasonable and the service excellent.
We walked up to the castle on our second day, E7 admission and worth it, then caught the train (E4.40 return( to Caiscais a 30 min train ride away along the coast for the afternoon. trains every 30 mins or less and well worth the trip.
On the following morning the receptionist called us a cab from a nearby rank who took us to the airport for a metered fare of about E10, this after I had "negotiated" a fare from the airport with a cab driver of E15!
Would stay again as the location is perfect, the staff pleasant, rooms clean and ok for a 3 star.
