My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while a little smelly, were nice with WiFi and a great buffet breakfast. Being on the same floor as the booked rooms was convenient. The service truly stood out as the highlight, with kind and helpful staff who even tried to improve the WiFi connection. The location, although initially unwelcoming, turned out to be nice, near important spots in Boavista like Casa de Musica, Lidl, and the metro station. However, the lack of atmosphere was noticeable. Dining was as expected with some room for improvement in the breakfast options. On the other hand, the facilities at the hotel were quite good.

The hotel is located in a very pleasant and calm area, near Casa Da Musica, shopping malls, and a supermarket. It's also close to a metro station, offering convenience for travelers. However, the lack of atmosphere and initial unwelcoming feeling could be off-putting. The hotel's proximity to an excellent food court and being adjacent to Casa Da Musica make up for some shortcomings.

My stay at the hotel was great overall. The rooms were spacious and had a malfunctioning window, but they were still very nice, especially with the free Wi-Fi and the delicious buffet breakfast they offered. The size of the room was bigger than expected compared to other higher-rated hotels I've stayed in. The service was hit or miss - sometimes they didn't clean the rooms, but they did try to accommodate my request for better Wi-Fi. The location is fantastic, close to the metro and Casa da Musica, with a food court nearby, although it seemed unwelcoming at first glance. The dining experience was alright with continental options, but could use more variety. As for the facilities, they were average.
