Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Comfort rated lower than other categories — While rooms are generally well-regarded, comfort scored a relatively modest 7.4, suggesting some guests may find certain beds or noise levels less than ideal.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accommodate pets, which may be a limitation for travellers with animals.
  • Limited parking — Parking is available but may be limited; the hotel is in a busy area, so street parking could be challenging.
  • Some rooms have internal windows — Budget rooms may have internal windows rather than external views, which could affect natural light and outlook.

“Staff were very helpful and friendly, with great local knowledge. We stayed two nights in a budget queen room with double-paned windows, a double bed, and a small table setup.”

8.4Verified guest

“Great location, very close to Metro Trindade and easy access to the airport and Campanha station. Bars and clubs are nearby but not right in front of the hotel. Staff were friendly, Wi-Fi worked well, and the top-floor terrace was a lovely spot for breakfast. Worth paying extra for a room with a balcony.”
