This place was a pretty good place to stay for a short while. If you want the rest of my review, please read on.
The location is its biggest selling point, being right next to the E12 and E28 bus paths. I recommend taking the E12 to Martim Moniz, and get onto the E28 there. Visiting the castle is worth it too.
To say that there’s restaurants nearby is an understatement, but also one reason I’ve deducted a point. Santa, a lovely restaurant, sits right below this room’s window, and music is played until late in the night. Not great if you have to wake up at 6 to make a flight…. The walls are also paper thin, so you’ll hear everything when your neighbors speak louder than a whisper, or when they plug in their phone to the wall socket.
There are two shared bathrooms with a shower and a toilet each. Pretty good, although we had a negative experience with someone consistently turning the light switches off while we were showering, and then leaving them off once they realized the door was locked. Why the switch is on the outside remains a mystery to me.
Lastly, there was a feint smell of vomit in our room. We couldn’t discern from where, or whether it was truly vomit, but it wasn’t a pleasant smell to fall asleep to… combined with excessively loud music from just below the window, and it spells a recipe for sleepless nights (thank goodness for sleep meds).
TLDR this place is okay, although maybe not worth the price, as its only selling point (in our eyes) was the location. Which was actually very good.
