“Great Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011

We have just had 3 nights in this Hotel which we found very pleasant. The reception staff were great and nothing was too much for them and they all spoke good english. In the review we did read that all rooms had balcony and mini bars, ours had neither. Upon asking the reception staff they said the web site needed updating. We felt the lounge room, which was lovely, and the bar area could have done with some background music etc but was told the owners would not provide this because of the cost. I think if they did this more people would use the facilities. We used the bar which was 24 hours and run by reception very nice and the lounge area was comfortable. The cost of drinks in the hotel was very good compared to other hotels. In the immediate area we didnt think there was too much to do, no bars etc but we did eventually find some nice restaurants.
The room was clean but small and there was no bath just some sort of shower base but it was adequate for a short stay.
All in all we did like the hotel and we would certainly stay again.

Room Tip: Our room was very quiet and good air conditioning, very noise first thing in a morning though with p...

“Great rooms, great price and friendly staff”

people found this review helpful

A group of us stayed here from 8-10 July in double and triple rooms. Each room was adequately equipped, clean and tidy. We were really pleased with the hotel and found reviews on the third party booking website really helpful. Breakfast was good and there was plenty of it! Thanks to the friendly staff for their help prior to and during our stay. Great hotel, would definitely stay again.

“Good value for money and great location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2011
3
people found this review helpful

The Sao Jose was difficult to find on its one way street, and by the time we found the entrance we had passed the carpark entrance. Paying E15 per day for parking was totally worth it, but don't take a car bigger than a Mini (original) as turning space is very limited.
The room was clean and quaint, although the double bed was a little bit small. The bathroom was modern, clean and the shower worked well. Towels were replaced as required.
The inclusive breakfast was pleasant and catered for a variety of cultural tastes. Lots of bread, cheese, yoghurt and ham. Some cereals with cold milk and a variety of hot and cold drinks.
The best bits about this hotel were the reception staff. They were helpful, friendly and informative. They were competent in a variety of languages and always greeted you with a smile.
Overall, it was perfectly fine for a short city break including a great location for both the city and the Metro.

“Nice classy hotel with great service in good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2011
3
people found this review helpful

This hotel was impressive in many regards. The staff were professional and friendly and spoke good English. The location was convenient to sightseeing in town and also to several local shops and cafes. The room was small and the shower was very small, with no tub. Also, had to park many blocks away.. The mini bar was great and cheap, but had minimal choices. We did have two waters and a beer for only 3.50 euros! Also the breakfast buffet was included in the inexpensive room price and was good, though choices were minimal (mostly bread, some pastry, and ham and cheese). The free wi-fi and ability to purchase quality Port wine on site was an added bonus! I bought one bottle of Port Reserve 10 anos, in a gift box for only 25 euros! I would recommend!

Room Tip: The key card turns the lights on at the door!
