It was in the heart of down town. All the bars clubs and resterants were right outside. The parks and museum are just a little walk away. Great hotel with excelent service.

Worst hotel we’ve ever been in!!!
They charged my credit card for the full amount without asking for permission. After the 7 nights when we payed in cash they processed a refund for the original charge which resulted in me paying currency exchange TWICE!! I tried to resolve this with the hotel staff and they said they charge everything upfront in your first night because “people leave without paying and they need to make sure they get their money”.
Expedia will not help cause they said hotel should not have charged my credit card without my confirmation.
Hotel will not help cause they don’t care.
On the accommodation aspect:
-room was supposed to come with Air conditioning but they don’t have it in March!! They would only provide the AC during summer months
-we paid for a junior suite but it only had one room ( no suite whatsoever)
-we paid for breakfast but they charged me for coffee in cash
-they only provide instant coffee. When I asked for real coffee they said they don’t have any
-disgusting breakfast with very limited choices
-hotel does not provide SHAMPOO OR TOILETRIES even though they said they are
-bathroom was not cleaned at all- they would only empty the garbage and replace towels
-bedsheets were not replaced during our stay
-staff was useless, rude and was smoking inside

Will stay again.
Cute and quiant smaller room with a lot of charm in a great local area near a lot of nightlife. Room got a littme warm in the middle of the night. Turning the AC off and on again seemed to fix the issue.

Ótima localização.
Localização muito boa, quarto bem amplo com camas bem confortáveis.
Nossa única chateação foi em relação ao estacionamento, pois foi informado no anúncio a disponibilidade gratuita e no hotel nos foi cobrado uma tarifa de €$16,00 por diária para o veículo ficar em uma área aberta e sem nenhuma segurança.
Café da manhã razoavel.
