Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers spacious and nicely refurbished rooms with a double bed, but it was a bit too cold initially. The staff was quick to offer a room change to a smaller yet warmer room. They were very helpful and welcoming, except for one receptionist. The location is a bit far from the city center but vibrant, close to Boavista Square and Casa de Musica. The dining experience was simple but very good with a variety of traditional Marche products. Overall, a comfortable stay with minor room temperature issues and some distance from central areas.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with comfortable beds, new furniture, and a good wi-fi connection. While the rooms were very clean and well-decorated, some areas may need renovation. The service was friendly and accommodating, although there was a slight issue regarding fare pricing. The location is convenient, being on Rua da Boavista with good value for money, easy access to transportation, and proximity to Casa da Musica. The dining options varied, with room for improvement in vegetarian choices. Overall, the hotel provides a satisfactory experience with room for enhancements.
The hotel was very accommodating by offering a room change to provide a warmer environment, even though it was smaller. The only downside was that the room was set up for one guest, but overall, it was spacious and clean.
