“Strange location, but very reasonable”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011

Just off the end of the central promenade, and close to all the restaurants, this hotel is basic but clean with particuarly helpful and pleasant reception staff. It has a swimming pool out the back, and is only 2 minutes walk into town, either along the river boardwalk, or through the pedestrian promenade.
Our room looked out at the back over the pool and the river, so was very quiet - no problems at all.
It lets itself down though in a few ways - breakfast is very, very basic. We stayed 3 nights and that was enough - coffee awful, juice worse and only bread and cheap ham/cheese and jam. There is a bar beside the pool, but it is not staffed - you have to go and find someone in reception to come and serve you - not good if you are just out the pool and dripping water. No mini-bar in the room, or kettle, and finally the tiniest little balcony I have ever seen - room for one small chair, so you have to take it in turns to sit out there !
Despite this, the price is so incredibly reasonable, I didn't feel badly done to at all.

Room Tip: Ask for a rear room, and take extras into breakfast !

“It is quite easy to find anything better”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011 via mobile

After 3 weeks enjoying Portugal I have to say this was our only failure.
Breakfast, horrible and no choice.
Rooms, very old furniture and not good bed. No save in the room and the windows could not be properly closed.
No free WIFI
Nice pool and grass to have a sun bath
Very good shower and WC facilities

“EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011

people found this review helpful

I have stayed in that hotel with my companion for two nights and just loved it. The room is perfect in terms of size and facilities. Very clean and efficient. The breakfast is served on the last floor and is plentiful and has a magnificent view. The swiming pool is large and pleasant. The staff is friendly and efficient. The price charged is more than adequate for the quality you get. I strongly recommend,

“Adequate for a short stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2011

A belated review. Thought I'd done it last year. Hope it is of use to someone.

Purely by chance we had booked to stay here for a few days from 10th June 2010 and there was a medieval fair taking place so there was plenty going on in the town making for a great atmosphere. A google search suggests that it's an annual event and it's worth catching if you want to sample a bit of the local culture.

Anyway, the hotel itself.

The location is quiet and on a map looks a bit remote but in reality it is an easy walk into the main part of town. The gent on reception was very helpful and provided us with a map and some recommendations for eating out. Breakfast, which is ok but nothing memorable, is served in a large room at the top of the building with good views. The rooms are fairly large, basic but ok.

Although we stayed here for 3 nights we had a car so used it as a base for exploring and for our purposes everything was fine. We would recommend the hotel but not for a long stay. Without catching the festival the whole visit might have been a bit flat.

“time travel to the 70's...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2009
1
person found this review helpful

The only interest in staying in this hotel is to do research on interior design form the 70's, because everything is genuinely from the 70's! All the furniture, tiles, carpets, lamps and even the telephones! Unfortunatly not everything is well preserved.
A part from this interior design detail, the rooms are tacky, the matresses are bad, the tv is too small and the signal is lousy, the stairs are disgusting, the breakfast is one of the worst i've seen in a place that it's supposed to be an hotel: only one variety of breakfast cereals, only 2 varieties of bread, no eggs, no fruit, no cake or other sweets, no expresso, not even a toaster!
Positive things: very friendly staff
