What guests report

View
Rooms facing Praça da Figueira have exceptional square and castle views; side-street rooms inferior; higher floors generally better
Bed & mattress
Mattresses very comfortable with quality pillows but awkwardly elevated platforms positioned against mirrors, difficult for two people to navigate, some soft/deep
Bathroom & water
L'Occitane toiletries and decent water pressure but shower design fundamentally flawed—floods floor, water escapes curtain, poor drainage; hot water generally reliable
Wi-Fi
Slow speed (11 Mbps reported), occasional outages lasting multiple days without alternative offered, connectivity issues with RFID key cards
Breakfast
Quality buffet with fresh fruit, hot prepared items, and good pastries; worth paying extra; however breakfast staff often dismissive and unhappy-looking
AC / heating
Unreliable central control with no room thermostat—frequent failures, inadequate cooling, high noise from malfunctioning units, staff cannot adjust on guest request
Elevator
Unreliable

Local knowledge

Request a room NOT facing the square if you're a light sleeper—tram noise starts around 5am and street sounds are relentless despite double-pane claims
Ask for early check-in at reception even if standard check-in is 2pm; staff will attempt to accommodate if a room is ready
Don't rely on central AC control—request a portable unit upfront if you prefer cooler temperatures; rooms run warm and thermostat is locked
