Love to come back here

The staff were friendly and keep it tidy often the time. You can charge devices right next to bed and laundry (washing and drying) service is available. Actually staff is at the reception all the time so that check in can be made after midnight as well. The only thing I did not like was air mattress. So far it was pleasant stay for me

Liked: Cleanliness
Bad part: They charge for towel and only accept cash, does not use contactless payment system, which is utterly backward in this age of smartphone. Who uses cash in this age? Good part: The property is right next to the conde de casal station, and the airport is within 30 min from this station.
