Convenient Stay Near the University

shopping complexdirect metroample parkingbarrier-free access
The hotel adjoins a shopping complex with a supermarket, pharmacy, and laundry. This offers excellent convenience. Metro access is direct. The I.P. O. stop connects right to the complex. I found ample parking available and appreciated the barrier-free access to the reception.
I noticed there were no power outlets conveniently located near the beds in my room

The room i got was not the best. the air conditioning was not working properly, so the room was too warm. the bathroom also had some mold issues. It wasn't very pleasant to see. i hoped for a more comfortable environment, especially after a long day.

amazing breakfastinteresting locationmiserable internet
the breakfast was amazing with pastel de nata and pancakes. the location is very interesting because it is possible to take the metro, that is almost in front of the hotel, to go to the city center. it takes around 15 minutes.
The internet was miserable. It was very slow in my room. i found that finding the way via stairs was not so easy.
