The stay at this interesting hotel was a fine one. Every part of it was exceptional, I really enjoyed location and staff. The room was updated and available with balcony, a very good bed plus big bathroom. Modern interior, CHEAP restaurant.

Lots of adequate breakfast items to choose from. Fairly clean hotel, admirable service. It is a universal place - 5 minutes' walk to the downtown...

Enjoyable experience, quite new area, airy rooms. Splendid view, a little balcony, comfy bed, too. Superb service, though a few employees were not very friendly. I was surprised at nearby Cafe Embaixador, they had some goodies, drinks: )
The breakfast I was offered was so so, it could be way much better.
