Solar dos Poetas

It was in a great location

Our room was very small the first stay for 5 nights then when we stayed for one night it was a huge room

Amazing hot breakfast (tons of vegetarian and meat options). The facility was in the heart of town with lots of shops/food nearby. The facility was clean and beautiful.

Room was a bit small (not much space to walk around bed or store luggage) but it was fine for 2 people who are okay with a tiny European room.

Location, nicely decorated, friendly staff

The overall ambience of the hotel was perfect, the rooms were quirky and felt comfortable and inviting. the central position was excellent for walking out and exploring the city.

Breakfast: the lay out of the food was very poor with the two coffee machines situated above the area where the hot food was positioned ( this area is very small) so if people were getting coffee you could not access the cooked food. We were there for four nights and I only once managed to get the three items that I wanted on one occasion (scrambled eggs Mushrooms and tomatoes) as the containers that they put the food out in were very small so if you waited in line when you got to the food the tray was empty then it took a very long time to replenish the empty trays. Staff in this area were curt and looked very unhappy. Poor choice of hot food, long waits for hot food and a bit of a dance to get your breakfast (due to lack of space and poor layout). On the upside great choice of pastries and fruit which was refilled right away.
