Guests say there's plenty to do and see in the local area, and most major sights are within easy reach. When you're tired of the city, you can head down to the beach, which is 12 minutes away via public transport.

Guests were pleased with their accommodations and really enjoyed the private shower. The shared bathroom facilities were always well kept and did not disappoint.

Many guests say the staff is simply great. They are friendly and accommodating. If you have any requests or need assistance, don't hesitate to ask. Everyone is always glad and ready to help.

There is no air conditioning in the rooms but a fan is provided (or can be requested) to keep you comfortable. However, some rooms still feel stuffy, especially during warmer temperatures. According to reviews, the basement rooms are the worst, as they also lack decent windows to ventilate the space.

If you're arriving on foot or via public transport, be aware that the walk from the closest stop to the hotel is a bit of a steep uphill walk. Guests warn that this can be challenging for some, especially if you have heavy luggage.

Noise can be an issue due to the nearby street traffic, the Acensor da Gloria (Funicular), and the tram. Make sure to bring earplugs.
