The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives in an overall satisfactory stay. The rooms were recently renovated and even had a balcony, with basic but comfortable amenities, albeit in need of updates. The location is very convenient, especially close to a metro station, while the service had some friendly interactions but also some passive and disinterested moments. The dining experience had its ups and downs, and the facilities provided a decent overall experience.

I wouldn't bother staying here despite its good location; it's too old and tired. The rooms had functional furniture and AC, which proved helpful when it got cold at night. However, what I paid for the room needed insistence with no other compensation or apology.

The hotel's location is convenient, close to a metro station and the city center; however, it's more suited for business guests than younger crowds. The service was friendly but could have been more responsive to pre-arrival emails. The dining options were basic but included fresh Portuguese bread rolls, which was a nice touch. The rooms were extremely small and could get noisy at times. The overall value for money was decent, considering the proximity to amenities.

The hotel has a convenient location, near public transportation options, making it excellent for our group. The rooms, though small, turned out to be quite comfortable once we settled in. The dining experience offered fresh Portuguese bread rolls, a nice touch, but the variety was limited.
