Lovely stay.

Pros: The location was great. It was nice to have a breakfast prepared every day. Our room was simple but large, clean and adequate--3 single bed room. Lovely back deck. The whole place was well kept and tidy.

Cons: Shared bathroom could have been checked throughout the day to refill and fresh up. Didn’t mind but fyi...three flights of stairs.

Pretty good, we recommend

Pros: Place super clean, nice kitchen and terrasse, staff is comprehensive and nice. Cleaned every day, super location.

Cons: A bit close to a very noisy street, it can be annoying if you need to leave windows open by the night.

Amazing place for short stay and communal feeling!

Pros: It was so worth staying here! The location was good but still the room was quiet! Also, the breakfast was good enough and the whole place did have a very communal feeling overall. I will definately come back here!

Anus 8/10
Pakistan 🇵🇰

Overall value to the money. It could be better if there will be air conditioning considering the hot weather in summer a

Pros: It’s closed to city center. Most of the attractions are nearby.

Cons: The bed and specifically pillow was not comfortable. The switch board was broken near to my bed space. So, I had to ask other people to my phone on charging. No air conditioning.

Cláudio 8/10
Portugal 🇵🇹

Pros: I like the facilities and the fact that it had breakfast included

Cons: I believe that extending the checkout until 12 am or 1 pm would be usefull

Yeliz 9/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Good value of money

Pros: I booked it at the last minute because I had an issue with the one I booked in the first place. Location was central and the staff was helpful. It was very clean and even though it was a shared bathroom there were many in each floor so it was fine, I never needed to wait. Don't expect too much from breakfast.

Cons: Whenever a vehicle passes through the street the building vibrates like an earthquake. On the first one I was shocked and panicked then I realized. It is not good when you came from a country that experiences many earthquakes

Comfortable, clean and secure.

Pros: Great location, simple breakfast and very clean and comfortable.

Cons: It wasn't totally clear in the listing the toilet included in my room was accessed via the balcony. It was very nice and clean but this was a surprise.
