Strand Palace Hotel
"The hotel was located in a very central spot. I think for the price point it was an excellent hotel. The rooms were upgraded and not too small for European standard. My only complaint is that they had a yummy lemoncelo chocolate left in the room and I wanted a second piece! They refused. 😆"
