Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is just down river, providing a stunning view of the sunset from the balcony. The service was exceptional, offering room service and paid shuttle service. However, the dining experience lacked variety and the price was a bit high for the value received.
The hotel has an ideal location down the river with a balcony, offering a great spot to watch the sunset. The service was satisfactory, and the dining experience with a salmon dish was delightful. The facilities were up to standard, but the value for money could be better.
The hotel was ideally located down river with a balcony that was great to watch the sunset. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was impeccable. However, the dining options were limited to tacos only. The facilities were satisfactory for the price paid.
The hotel offers a fantastic location down river, perfect for enjoying the sunset from the balcony. The rooms are cozy and clean, and the service is top-notch. However, the dining options are limited. Overall, a great value for money stay.
I was thrilled with the hotel's perfect location down river, offering a picturesque view and easy access to the cais da ribeira area. The rooms were spacious and clean, with a balcony that was great for watching the sunset. I found the staff incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable. However, the lack of dining options on-site was a bit disappointing.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The sunset views from the balcony were spectacular, and the location was just perfect. The service was top-notch, but there were a few drawbacks with the dining options. Overall, a great experience!
