lovely view comfortable beds easy access
The durrell room had a nice view over rooftops towards the clerigos tower. I could easily reach sao bento station and travel from there to various places. Beds were very comfortable. I also appreciated the air conditioning in the room during warmer hours.
There was no elevator, so i had to carry my luggage up the stairs. This was a bit inconvenient after a long day of travel.

Breakfast featured a selection of ham, cheese, and bread, together with coffee, water, and orange juice. I noticed there was a basket filled with bread and a bowl with jam. A slab of butter completed the breakfast setup.

I appreciated the reasonable price for a private room. Staff accommodated a change in plans, because I had to leave earlier than planned. The hotel location is very close to restaurants.
There was a damp smell throughout the building. The bathroom located in my room did not seem as clean as I expect. Street noise was noticeable since my room faced the street.
