This hotel was a nice surprise – while we knew it wouldn’t be a traditional hotel, we were delighted to find it had a well-staffed reception area.
There were also free lockers where we were welcome to store our luggage before check-in and after checkout.
The person at the desk when we arrived was very helpful and showed us some recommended sights to see and places to eat. (We also really appreciated the excellent communication with admin staff via WhatsApp before our arrival.)
The location was amazing – right across the street from the Mercado do Bolhão, which is full of stalls selling all kinds of freshly squeezed juice, coffee, fruits and vegetables, cheeses, olives, pastries, flowers, and everything in between. Also super walkable to tons of restaurants and stores, including several supermarkets and mini-markets.
Our room was very comfortable and well equipped with a stove, dishwasher, and combo washer-dryer. (If you’ve never used one of these before, do pay attention to the instructions on the back of the cabinet door!) We stayed for 3 nights in September and were in a room on one of the upper floors facing the market, and aside from the bells that chime regularly throughout the day, it was very quiet.
