Schönes Hotel mit guter Sicht

Wir haben das Hotel für eine Nacht gebucht um den letzten Abend vor dem Rückflug nach Deutschland in Ruhe zu genießen. Die Gegend ist sehr sicher und wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Unser Zimmer war sauber und funktional allerdings nicht besonders boutique eingerichtet. Für uns hat das Zimmer völlig ausgereicht hätten uns aber etwas mehr von der Zimmereinrichtung eines Boutiques Hotels erwartet. Das nette und hilfsbereite Personal hat uns einen Aufenthalt auf der Terrasse nach dem Checkout ermöglicht, den wir sehr genoßen haben. Wir konnten sogar im Garten ein kleine Yoga-Session einlegen. Leider hatte die Küche am Abend ein Gasleck und so konnten wir nicht im Hotel Abendessen. Haben aber in der Gegend eine passende Alternative gefunden.

Ideal para casais e descanso

Hotel legal, como em toda RSA, a atenção dos funcionários é louvável ! Bairro não é o que o site fala, é isolado e também bem afastado, mas não desabona o hotelz a vista realmente chama atenção, assim como o charme do da construção e decoração ! Café da manhã ótimo !

Hotel excelente. Localização horrível.

O hotel tem um excelente serviço de quarto, staff etc., mas jamais recomendaria ele, pois apesar de sua localização estar super bem avaliada, ela é péssima. O hotel está numa área residencial, no meio do nada...

The View with a view, indeed

The View is a very good hotel with a really nice view from the backyard, true to its name. The room was very comfortable. The bathroom was very spacious, with an extra-long bathtub, and a separate shower area as well. It's a gated complex, so one can park one's car safely. It's not right next to any shops or restaurants etc, but a short drive takes care of that. The staff was very courteous and helpful. They also have a full-service restaurant. Breakfast and lunch were quite reasonable, while dinner sprang a surprise because the prices weren't indicated on the dinner menu. The food, however, was very well prepared and presented beautifully. The cold breakfast is complimentary (oats, juice, tea, bread, salami etc.) while the hot breakfast is ordered separately and charged extra. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay here.
