9.8/10 Exceptional! (144 reviews)
Great stay. The room was very clean, spacious, and had modern decor. Beds were comfortable, and the view was beautiful. Staff were very helpful—Nuno assisted us with everything we needed. The location is perfect, right in the center of town, close to the metro and next to a major food market. We loved it.
