Cool Guest House

Bed comfortable Location great Clean

The location was perfect, and thanks to the staff, easy to find

The counter wasn't attended on my arrival. However, there was a phone number posted, and after a quick phone call. The host attended was very friendly and helpful. I was also sent a message prior to my arrival. So I knew exactly what to expect and where to park.

The view out the window was of a wall.However, it was a historic wall and the room was still good value for money?

I liked the fact that they has a space to eat breakfast. I really loved my memory foam matress , but maybe that was just on my single bed, my friend had a different type. The host was really nice. Everything was very nicely decorated and clean. Thre is a coffee/hotwater machine, cutlery and plates, bowls, mugs and glasses. They provide some tea (no black tea though when I was there), coffee and sugar and there is a fridge you can use. Parking is a bit of a walk away, but personally we didn´t mind. Very good price, actually surprising for such a beautiful UNESCO town.

I had the room that was named Castelo (ground floor, but two steps). It didn´t have a view, but at least I could open the window. And I didn´t mind too much as I was only there to sleep and take a shower. There were no hooks in my bathroom, so I could not really hang my towels or clothing. You can´t reach the light switches when you are in bed, but at least the plug was near the bed, in the room that my friend had, it was pretty far. Het bathroom was also very tight. You can hear the noise from other rooms (and the very loud coffee machine if your sleep on that level). The microwave was dirty when we arrived, but we mentioned it to the cleaning lady and she cleaned it. There was no cork screw, but the host said it gets stolen every time he buys a new one so he stopped buying them. Having to climb stairs to get into the breakfast space wasn´t ideal. I would have liked leaflets with a bit more info about the town. Warning on the fridge was in Portuguese and Spanish only, the guesthouse cearly hosts those the most. Luckily I live in Portugal and speak Portuguese, but my friend could not read it. Perhaps one couldput it in English too. Parking is a bit of a walk away, but personally we didn´t mind. Nothing was so bad it would keep me from coming back.
