“The view from my top-floor riverside room was fantastic, and the balcony offered a vista of the river and the landscape opposite—reminiscent of a classic Mateus rosé label. Reception staff were helpful, and I enjoyed a coffee from the lounge bar for just 50 cents. The location was convenient, with bus and tram routes nearby. A patisserie inside the Pingo Doce supermarket across the road was a handy breakfast option.”
