Unfortunately i did not have breakfast i left 7am in the morning where the breakfast start at 8am but overall was good except i saw my bed there’s hair on my bed which isn’t my colour hair and I’m afraid that the sheet haven’t change at all, but overall I’m pretty satisfied with it.

The breakfast was great. There were fruits, cereal, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, bean, bread, coffee and even pasteis de nata (though for these you had to come in rather early). I could hear the traffic down the street, and that was rather noisy during the festive period. The common room has a huge TV, but it does not work (it was rather disappointing, as there was no sign on it, but reception confirmed it was not working).

Rooms are very clean and cozy, a lot of restaurants in the area, very decent breakfast, friendly staff , easy to find it , walking distance to the river, 10 min uber ride from bus depot or easy access by transit to airport or wherever you want to go, I would definitely recommend this place !
