The place is clean and tidy, very modern, use access code for enter the hotel, your room. They have a pantry room that we can buy food from supermarket to cook in it. So we can have a relax dinner in it. The hotel is near all the sight-seeing spots, very convenience. The manager is very nice, she gives us a very details how to go to the sightseeing spots and where to buy the boat trip etc.

A very modern and new hotel
Lurdes the host/manager is very friendly and helpful. She goes above and beyond. The hotel is very modern in design and very new. It has a well equipped kitchen and large dining area that is great for our group to gather and have a drink at night.

Lourdes is such a gem she makes sure you have literally everything you need. I am a solo female traveler in my 30’s and I’ve never felt so safe and able to get my bearings in a new place before! 10/10 would recommend - super convenient and easy to access and walk to/ from; awesome laundry mat and cafe very very close by!

A perfect spot within walking distance of sites and the historic district, and the buses are so easy and close, especially to/from the airport. Lurdes is amazing! She sent us the info to check in the day before, so check your email!

This property is absolutely brilliant, great to have access to a fully equipped kitchen! Lurdes is a great manager, the whole place is immaculate.
What I would highlight to potential guests is that currently there isn't a Metro station within the local vicinity, you have a 20 min walk to Casa Musica. There are buses available from Palacio Cristal which is 5 mins walk away. There is a Metro line under construction and a station due to open very close by in the near future.
Don't let this put you off staying here though, it's fabulous!

Clean and modern apartment but…
Great concept for holiday apartments and I do love the cleanness, and the location of it. However because it was still “winter” in Portugal (we visited in April ) so they don’t provide cold air through their aircon and the room was BOILING. It’s almost 30 degrees outside during the day and although a fan was provided the room was just too hot for me so my sleep was terrible despite a comfortable bed.
