It didn’t suit me but I was looking for a small family run Airbnb and was taken in by the name, this is no Palacio.
This is a basic hostel, I should have read the description more carefully!
There are roughly 15 bedrooms with two blocks of 3 showers and toilets to share. It is clean but the carpets are old and dirty.
The cleaning staff are brilliant!
It is clean, and when the sun shines it is warm. A fan heater is provided in the bedroom which would otherwise be cold. The rest of the building is unheated.
It is 10 minutes from Praca Martim Montez and 5 minutes from the Lavra lift.
Don’t get lost in the hospital next door! The directions given me by Palacio’ana send you there.
