“I found a blend of modern design and Portuguese character here, not far from cultural hotspots and metro access. Breakfast impressed, offering a solid vegetarian selection alongside traditional fare, and I noted the staff's consistent warmth.

I appreciated the convenient location. It was easy to get around. The secure garage under the hotel provided safe parking for my car. The breakfast included many choices and was quite satisfying. My room had a big terrace, a nice SURPRISE.

The gym, while functional, could benefit from some updated equipment, specifically the treadmills looked a bit used.
