Its situation on the edge of a road that connects Beira Baixa with the other Beiras, made it a mandatory center of passage for the almocreves and other visitors who had to pass there.

9/10 Wonderful! (515 reviews)
No where to eat, when I ordered in I was made to go to my room to eat by the male night staff member very rudely. The room was ok but very loud when surrounding guests used the facilities in the bathroom. Basic and clean but wouldn’t stay again.
