The hotel is located near an industrial area and only surrounded by residential houses. Perfect if you are doing business there but also good for other activities. On the other side there are not many options for shopping or other activities than maybe jogging. There is a little supermarket and a delicious pizza restaurant just around the corner. I underestimated that little pink restaurant, looks not really nice from outside.
To get to Belém it takes you about 15 minutes by car, Taxi costs 12 EUR one way.
WIFI is free and fast at the lobby only. Room was very clean. Internet at room is free of charge but works only with a cable connection. Even this internet had a reasonable speed when comparing with many other hotels.
Breakfast starts only at 7 am but is a very good selection of intercontinental (bread, marmelade, joghurts, cereals, hot beans and probably some eggs and most important: good coffee to start your day).
I also had dinner from the buffet. Food was a bit greasy but that has more to do with the portuguese kitchen than with the hotel. I could see that fish and meat was on the menue every day. If you don't like fish (or the smell of it), not really the place to eat.
Staff was very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately I had no time to take advantage of the health club or pool, maybe next time...
I would defenately come back even for leisure.
