Check out the nearby cafes for a unique local breakfast experience instead of sticking to the hotel buffet.

Nice room, modern furniture and very spacious. Nice TV service with most of the cable channels. The breakfast was very fresh.
Lacking of free parking and the parking outside was also not free. The location of the hotel is in a very dark streets and the build in front was abandoned. Close to city center but only by car, about 10 minutes. The breakfast was very fresh but not very options.

The breakfast was savoury and good hot with gluten free options, those wonderful Portuguese pastries, hot offerings, and the restaurant was very clean. The location was reasonable - just a walk down to everywhere we wanted to go. We visited Paju, based next to the hotel, had dinner there.

Great stay close to everything
The room was super clean and had this cozy vibe. We loved how close it was to two metro stations. The breakfast had a good spread too-especially loved the eggs and sausage. One thing though, it would've been nice to have some coffee options in the room.

The room is confy and spacious, the hotel is quiet.
The staff is disrespectful to say the least. They ask id for both of the occupants of the room which is harassment. The parking option only has a daily fee, not an hourly one. Its such a shame that staff kills completely such a otherwise wonderful hotel.

Very friendly staff, silent and well-appointed room with the bedroom and a large tub and a stand alone bath in the. Private parking on-site provided...
Wi-Fi was bad.

The hotel is generally good, not far from the center, free wi-fi in your room, good breakfast.
There is no a hair-dryer in the room, but it is possible to take it at the reception. Night stuff may speak English rather bad, in our case it was not so easy to explain when we need a taxi. I was charged to print my boarding pass, sounds strange :)

good breakfast but location is a bit far
The breakfast spread was really good, with a delicious range of fresh fruits, cereals, and hot options that really set the day right. The staff were very good, with Luisa Gaio in the restaurant being particularly helpful, ensuring every detail was perfect. The room was quiet, clean, and the bed comfortable! Plus, the lovely garden view added a nice touch to the ambiance.
The location feels a bit isolated, requiring longer walks to reach attractions.

I loved how spacious and clean my room was, and the perfect lighting really made it cozy! The hotel had a lovely sun terrace and garden area for relaxation, which was a nice bonus. Just a heads-up, parking comes with an extra charge, so plan accordingly. 😊

Large, quiet, clean and comfortable rooms. The restaurant provides good value dinner with large portions and realistically priced wines. If travelling with a car, it is worth booking the hotel's parking option - there is littl, if any, alternative parking available.
Although it is an easy walk into the city down a long hill, a taxi (approx €4) is almost a must for the return journey.

New, clean, smart hotel. Lift up from car park very helpful. English language tv channels available. Fast, free, reliable, wired internet access. You'll need to ask front desk for a double power adapter & though (see red points below). It's a bit of a hike, but you can walk down to the city centre - it took us about 1/2 hour & another 15mins to the river
Doors to balcony very hard to lock. Beware, found ours unlocked when we came in! Another incorrect location on the Booked.net map & directions, also not helped by lack hotel name on main street side of building. If yo want to experience the "well lit work desk", you'll have to unplug the mini bar first. Only one power point?!?! When a hotel has such a large underground car park of it's own, it really has no business charging for spaces for it's guests. Kitchenette pointless without cooking equipment, crockery or cutlery - you have to pay extra for that apparently

Truly enjoyed this brand-new hotel, and we would stay here again. The property exceeded all expectations, it was a PERFECT 10/10 stay on holidays. The local staff was incredibly helpful. Our breakfast was savoury and hot with gluten free options for our wife. The location was quiet and top, very close to train station!

Good, well equiped rooms (particularly those turned to South with balcony); nice and helpful staff; excellent garage (in the middle of the city!).
Small choice of food for breakfast; beds were not very comfortable.
