Lovely clean hotel, close to the beach and centre of old town. Yara Costa and other staff at the hotel were wonderful and so pleasant. Only thing I would say is that if you’re a light sleeper then this isn’t a hotel for you, the bars are quite loud and until early hours of the morning. But the hotel can not be faulted, very clean and a comfortable.

Lovely stay in a lovely hotel. Staff couldn’t have been friendlier and more helpful. Breakfast was plentiful, lots of choice, tasty and mini Portuguese tarts to die for. In a great location, everything on your doorstep, would definitely go back 😍

Hotel itself, staff, food and drink were absolutely amazing. However very noisy at night until 4/5am.. when i booked i never read reviews for noise and myself and partner went for a quiet few days but also close enough to the strip that we didn’t have to get taxis etc. still amazing and if i want a good hotel for a partying i will stay there.

Stylish Hotel in center of pedestrian walk streets. Neighborhood is convenient to major tourist sites and plentiful dining options.. Nighttime performers can be loud in the adjacent square which was out only negative from our stay.

8/10 Very good

Decent breakfast with helpful servers and some hot choices. Somewhat crazy floor layout requires some elevator changes. Not for people with a fear of heights, because it’s perched over the city center. Big shaded balcony. District noisy at night, kind of tacky and touristy. Few attractions.

Hotel is places right within the old town square, music from bars can be loud, but this was not an issue for us. Pool is small bit there was no issues with sunbeds.

On arrival we asked to upgrade our room. The staff went above and beyond to arrange this swiftly, even though the hotel was really busy We changed rooms the following day. The staff are very welcoming and accommodating. Its a lively area so its not for people that want quiet nights. My partner and i absolutely loved it and plan to come back next year

Absolutely fantastic hotel location is absolutely perfect in middle of eveything. Rooms was beautiful and clean breakfasts was more continental but beautiful and filled you for the day. All staff members so friendly and helpful. Pool freezing cold but again nice to cool of in for a few seconds. Over all fantastic location, food, staff and for it being right on the strip always felt secure with the key cards to use lifts and enter door. Cant not wait to return x

Great stay right in the heart of the old town

Lovely stay Rooms big and clean (not 100% sure about the open shower when we first got there but it was ok) Roof terrace was lovely and relaxing It is noisy at night till circa 3am due to its location above the old town strip but the hotel provides ear plugs and you’ll need them. Overall a wonderful stay
