The hotel location was excellent for exploring the city. The team kept the complimentary coffee bar stacked with pastries. They also provided a bottle of portugese red wine. I found this attention to details quite commendable.
The room was smaller than anticipated. I booked a room with a view and the view was the wall of another building. I think that the room was overpriced

The noise was intrusive beginning early and continuing throughout the day. air conditioning was also a significant issue. It was not consistently available. A fan was provided, but this was an inadequate solution given the warm conditions. I expect a hotel of this standard to have consistent climate control.
