Mediocre stay
This is a so-so, mid range hotel with marginally comfortable beds and furniture that needs repair. The shower room is quite nice. It's also very difficult to find if you are not driving.
Noise from lifts kept me awake until late then woke me early in the morning. The sink had a crack in it, the shower went hot and cold, and the grout on the tiles was black in places. However, the hotel has a nice gym and swimming pool with great views. The breakfast was good also. It's a shame the room I stayed in was not better.
Solid, standard business and travelers hotel. Only issue was large amount of tour bus groups that overloaded check in, breakfast and elevators repeatedly.
The gym and pool were not available due to refurbishment, but I was not informed. Given this must have been planned, I am surprised that I wasn't informed and that it wasn't made clear on the hotel.com site. I could have paid less in other hotels
Stayed for a night. Location is good, near sta catarina shopping street and supermarket. The hotel is old, it has seen better days. Carpets, elevator, room furnishings are old and look worn out. Not a lot of bathroom amenities. Good breakfast but breakfast room also needs an update

Overpriced…
The hotel is in a nice area and staff were so kind but the price is so much for the room. When you pay much you expect a big room with options. The AC was so old and the bathroom ventilation was broken. The flow of the water in the shower was bad and it was continuously hot and cold. Also they say the restaurant is open till 10.30 for breakfast but if you go at 10.15 you ll see many things are taken, you can’t get omelettes even you can’t find tea to drink. So what is the logic, just close the restaurant at 10.00 then…
Sehr freundliches und zuvorkommendes Team
Frühstück war gut es hat an nichts gefehlt

O hotel tem um quarto bastante confortável, limpeza impecável, equipe muito atenciosa, ótimas instalações com uma boa piscina aquecida para nadar e ótimas opções de refeições e vinhos.
Tudo muito bom, staff, pequeno almoço, localização, foi como esperado.

Séjour romantique
Hôtel bien situé
Piscine et spa a disposition. Seul bémol. Il faut réserver et vous avez droit à 1h par jour.
Buffet très moyen. Si aimez la foule vous serez à votre aise.
Les chambres: Notre salle de bains bien (a été refaite), par contre la chambre et la literie date des années 60. Literie pas confortable du tout. Literie a ressorts.
Trés moyen pour un hôtel 4 étoiles.
Bon pour un séjour de passage ou de quelques jours.
1980 ringte og ville ha hotellet sitt tilbake!
Hvis du er fan 80 talls estetikk og slitent interiør med en aircondition som lager lyder som kun kan minne om tropiske fuglers paringsdans på tilfeldige tidspunkt hele natten (med garantert våkne garanti, her snakker vi sikkert 95 db!) så anbefales dette hotellet 😅
Ellers er beliggenheten bra med
T bane like ved. Rolig strøk. Frokosten er helt grei, ikke fantastisk, men bra nok til at du kan kose deg. Airconditionen kan lage nordpol temp på rommet ditt hvis du vil det.
Ficamos em Coimbra, no Hotel Mondego, mais simples, mas organizado e perto de tudo. Café da manga razoável. Na cidade do Porto o Vila Galé foi incrível, confortável e ótimo café da manhã.
Bon accueil, hotel bien placé. La formule demi-pension fut satisfaisante, personnel sympathique.
Chambre un peu vieillotte, jaccuzi et hammam ne fonctionnait pas, chambre pas prête à notre arrivée a 16h
