I appreciated the hotel's convenient location near the metro station, restaurants, and supermarkets. the staff were very helpful (joana in particular) and always ready to assist. on my birthday, the hotel surprised me with a cake and wine, such a nice touch. i also made use of the spa and gym facilities. They were great.
I found that the pool access was limited to one hour per room daily.

The breakfast buffet had quite a selection. It was acceptable for a quick meal before heading out.
I found the room decor rather dated, the hollywood posters felt out of place, specifically the godfather ones on the ground floor gave a strange impression. It felt as though the hotel was run by gangsters.
