great location helpful staff limited breakfast dim lighting
The location was great, close to the Bolhao metro station! It was also near the shopping street. The staff were helpful. I was able to easily access many restaurants and shops nearby.
The breakfast wasn't really worth paying extra for. It felt below average. There were limited options. The lightning was very dim in the room, and it needs to be brighter.

Central location delivers great value
central location simple transfer daily breakfast helpful staff
The location is excellent for exploring the city center. I found the metro station very close. It made airport transfers simple. Breakfast included pastries, cheese, coffee, and juice. Staff assisted with luggage storage, convenient for early arrival and late departure.
The room decor looked somewhat dated. This didn't significantly affect my stay, but a refresh could enhance the ambiance.
