I couldn't have asked for a better hotel location! Right in the heart of Ribeira, just steps away from the bustling riverfront with plenty of dining options nearby. The rooms were nice and bright, although a tad small for my liking, but stepping outside provided me with the most incredible view. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to help us during a busy event day. The dining experience was satisfying, offering a good selection of dishes. Overall, a superb location with service that exceeded expectations.

Staying at this hotel was a great experience! The rooms were fabulous, quiet, and spacious with a giant bed, and our view overlooked a street bustling with many delightful restaurants. The service was top-notch, always helpful and accommodating, especially when we needed to extend our stay due to unexpected illness. The location was superb, right on the waterfront in the heart of the old town, although the lively surroundings did bring some noise until the early hours. The dining was a real treat, with a delicious and varied breakfast spread that included fresh fruit, scrumptious savory options, and an array of pastries. The facilities were excellent, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay enjoyable. The dining experience was decent, but not exceptional. Overall, a great value for the price paid.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms are really nice and spacious, although without real windows. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, always looking to make my stay in the center truly enjoyable. The location is perfect for dining out and walks in the old part of town, right in the heart of the city with many restaurants, cafes, and tourists. The dining experience was really awesome, a great way to start the day. I enjoyed the facilities, especially the convenient air conditioning and heat in the rooms.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, although quiet and cozy, had limited views and some noise from the air con units. The service was a bit hit or miss, with some staff being very kind but lacking local knowledge. The location, however, was superb, near the water and all the attractions. The dining was a highlight with delicious options and friendly staff.
