Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the positive side, the spacious and quiet rooms were clean and simple, but the location could be noisy due to constant bin refuse collection and loud conversations near the entrance at night. The service was absolutely incredible overall, with congenial and helpful staff making my stay pleasant.
The hotel was comfortable and spotless, from the staff to the breakfast. What you would expect from the staff to the breakfast to the cleanliness of the hotel and rooms. A great place to stay, but the dining experience could use some improvement.
The hotel offers basic rooms with a decent size bathroom, non-smoking policy, and a great location overlooking the sea in Povoacao. The service is very helpful and friendly, enhancing the overall experience. However, some aspects of the location seem unattended and need work.
