8/10 Good
"Elisabete was training on front desk for check in and check out and did a great job! Back exit for a quick route to the old town, buses right in front, and close to the central market and huge shopping centres. I had one of the older rooms but it was clean and comfortable. The layout of the hotel means you can hear inconsiderate people in the corridors, nothing the hotel can do and luck of the draw. 2 of my 3 nights were peaceful! Breakfast has a small but good selection and takeaway cups for coffee, great for an early airport start. You could also get breakfast-to-go though I didn’t try this."
