Beautiful and elegant antique hotel. Everything they kept original. It is like you are walking on a 1930 movie. Very elegant and charming. The elevator is very unique and gives you the vintage feeling of the time. Although, I guess… even the carpet is original… this vintage hotel is so wonderful, but they do need new carpets asap (the old carpet gives the hotel a cheap, weird vibe). They need to figure out how to incorporate a new carpet with an antique style. Bedroom was ok beautiful decorated with vintage furniture, bed was very comfortable. They do not have a huge balcony, but quite nice to have the Mondego River view (keep in mind that the view in the pictures is better, in the real life view, the hotel has plenty of bus stops in front of it, and unfortunately they were having construction when we were there - noisy and dusty).
Breakfast was poor in quality and options; fruits were not cut; coffee was terrible, not a gluten free friendly place.
Hotel is very close to many coffee shops, bars, restaurants, and pharmacies.
Overall this is a nice vintage hotel budget friendly in a very central location for travelers who are visiting the city for a couple days.
