A good choice of goodies for breakfast. Bright and absolutely fantastic unit with a refrigerator and glassware. - the fantastic location for the price, next to the green garden, the equally beautiful river side and a great market on Friday.

I had a perfect stay at this small hotel near the town center. the room was excellent, very clean and well equipped. the location is amazing, right next to the river, which was great for jumping in on hot days. the staff were friendly and helpful, making my stay even better. the hotel also offers free car parking, which is a bonus. I highly recommend this hotel for its great rooms and prime location.
The only downside I could find is that the rooms could have had a kettle.

We loved the clean and spacious rooms, with large bathrooms. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with a free pool table and bicycles for rent. We enjoyed the great location, just next to the river and close to the bridge, making transportation very convenient. The breakfast was fantastic with plenty of choices. The staff were multilingual and very helpful.
All was good.

Staying in this hotel during my city trip was the best decision I made! The town location was perfect and it was easy to get everywhere. The staff was friendly and helpful in recommending things to see and do. The room was spacious and modern, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I especially appreciated the beautiful gardens and river views which gave me a calm and peaceful moment during my stay.
The hotel lacked options for breakfast and savouries were below my expectations. , on the weekend nights, there was some noise from a nearby location which made it hard for me to sleep.

Spent Christmas at this hotel and had a great time! Enjoyed the size of the room, which was very spacious and had a beautiful view of the surrounding area. the hotel was also located in a great spot close to the river, which made for a peaceful and relaxing stay. the breakfast was excellent with a great variety of options to choose from.
That the shower in our room leaked water onto the bathroom floor, but we mentioned it to the staff who promptly switched us to another room without any issues. we had a lovely stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a cozy, relaxing Christmas getaway.

We stayed in a hotel in a peaceful location in the area, with great access to Emigrant restaurant nearby and Portugal's National Park. We were impressed with the spacious bathroom and the comfortable bed in our room that came with huge windows. the friendly staff provided prompt service and the breakfast was satisfying. We also loved the view of the beautiful river from the windows of some rooms.
We experienced occasional noise from the adjacent car park at night.

the staff were absolutely fantastic, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Secondly, the location of the hotel, right next to a beautiful river, was simply breathtaking. We were able to enjoy stunning garden views from our spacious and clean room. Lastly, the breakfast included eggs and had a wide variety of fresh options to choose from, served in a room full of light and overlooking the river. It truly felt like a 3-star hotel experience.
There was nothing not to like. We had no criticisms at all.
