–

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 13:30 to 18:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals unless you arrange otherwise.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so those travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Some guests may find the location less central — While Bonfim is a charming district, it's slightly removed from the main tourist hub, requiring a bit of walking or a bus ride to reach the most central attractions.
  • Breakfast is not a full buffet — Breakfast is described as coffee, tea, and exotic fruits – lighter than a traditional full spread, which might disappoint those expecting a hearty meal.

“A fantastic overall experience. Breakfast included coffee and tea with exotic fruits. We got an early check-in, and parking is nearby. Everything was perfect. The location is just off the bus stop and close to the river, and it’s easy to get to Chapel of Souls.”

“The staff were lovely, especially a gentleman who let us check in early when we arrived – that saved the day. We stayed in a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment that was spacious and had everything we needed for our week's stay, just like home.”
