Comfortable bed, small room, quite hot and stuffy

We stayed here on the way through to Portugal , lovely staff who spoke good English. Just what we needed as we had our dog with us. Breakfast ok. We had booked to stay here again three weeks later on the way home, the lady at reception did not speak a lot of English and was not helpful. I asked for a room with air con as it was extremely hot and our dog was panting quite a lot in that tiny room but she just shook her head at me.

Avoid

Terrible place. Plastic shower room, smelling of must. Small and uncomfortable beds. A depressing place unless you only want a bed and want to (barely) upgrade from camping

Portaloo with bed

This hotel was cheap and cheap is what you get. I can only be thankful that it was just for one night, as the room, while being warm, dry and comfortable had what can best be described as a portaloo in the corner for the ensuite! It was quite a distance from any restaurants for dinner. When we arrived there was no-one around to check in, so we had to go away and come back at 5:30pm (3 hours). It looked rundown and the surrounding area didn't look inviting at all. I would not recommend this at all.

Good Value, with Caveats

I stayed at hotel Balladins because I was looking for a place that was car friendly and provided easy access to the Chateaux. This seemed to fit the bill nicely, and it did. Located in Eysines, rather than at the airport, the hotel is convenient to several restaurants (all within walking distance). The room was clean, but basic. I did not like the fact that the room didn't have air-conditioning and the wc was inconveniently configured.
