Great hotel overlooking the whole city, the views of the sun rise over the bay are fanastic, and at night the city looks amazing from here. Good breakfast, very large rooms with balconies, clean, well kept. Maybe I got lucky with the room, ask for one with sea views.

Was on a business trip, but would like to return here with the family.

Just returned from a short business trip in Portugal and stayed overnight at the Do Sado Hotel.
The hotel is a little strange as it’s upside down! With the floors to the rooms on the lower floors to the reception, but in the morning at breakfast i understood why, the view from the restaurant is fantastic, you look out across the sea meeting the blue protégé’s sky its very nice indeed.
The room I stayed in was enormous extremely clean and well fitted, the staff were very friendly and the food was excellent, a very good visit but much too short !

Most positive aspects:
-Large rooms, good bed

Most negative aspects:
-Very loud music in the access halls to the rooms, from 9 to 2 A.M, had to call reception to turn it off, I could hear it inside my room
-Shower water was not hot enough (and I dont use very hot water)
-Poor breakfast, no eggs, bacon, etc.
-No food inside the minibar, only water

I stayed there in August. The stuff were very kind. The hotel is composed by a old building very charming, and a new building (where are the new rooms) . My room was at the old building. To go there, you have to use an old and very narrow elevator, not suitable for a 4 stars, but ok. The room was big and nicely decorated, with windows arch and ancient forniture. Very charming, with wood at floor and roof. However the bathroom was small and very old, with hairs and marks...disgusting for me.
The worst was the lack of air conditioning. This was the hell. I choose this hotel beacause it had air coditionning!. It was boling inside the room, I thought the air conditioning would need some minutes to start working (it was a very very very hot day and I could hear a great noise from it). But it didn't worked, and I was sweeting as I was inside a oven so I asked in reception and they told me the air condicioning worked well, but it needed some hours. I waited 3 hours and the air conditionning didn't worked, I only got the noise. I was desperate, I opened the windows but temperature outside was the same that inside. I was sweeting, my hair was wet, so I go to Reception once again and finally they told me that the rooms at the old building didn't have air conditioning (so it'll never worked), the hotel was full so they could'n change my room for one with air conditionnig. I only could sleep at the end of the night, when it stars refressing outside, with the open windows. So I'll never come back.
