Is a nice 3 star property in a middle class neighborhood. Had issues finding it due to wrong address on Expidia app. Bed was uncomfortable and everything else was humble. The best thing about the hotel “ B&B” is the View and the Front Desk manager who was exceptionally helpful and friendly 💖💖💖

Avoid disappointment stay elsewhere

This was a disappointing stay. Reception staff were unfriendly, did not help with luggage. Worse still the main reception person was smoking a shisha pipe in the common areas and in another occasion was picking the skin off his feet in the customer area . Ash trays were left with cigarette butts. There is no lift and the stairs to the next floor are dangerous, there’s no hand rail except for the last few steps. The stair asr made of recycled timber and have a number of holes in them. The beds were hard and very uncomfortable. The hotel is up quite a steep hill and a distance from the main part of town it would be difficult without a car . I cannot understand how this is rated as 4 star I don’t know how hotels.com is aligned with this property

Manutenção do hotel começou a ser deixada de lado

Tinha tudo para ser excelente, exceto a maçaneta da porta do quarto, que saiu na nossa mão. E aparenta ser um problema antigo que não é resolvido, mas arrumado com desleixo, apenas para fingir que dão importância ao hóspede. Havia muita dificuldade para fechar a porta do quarto, pela falta da maçaneta, e o cofre não funcionava
