Disliked: Amenities
The room was equipped with a window that overlooked a corridor. The service provided by the staff was observed to be slow. An unusual odor was present in the lobby and corridors. The breakfast offerings were unsatisfactory. Noise levels were elevated. The doors were fitted with an alarm system that activated when left open for an extended period, which unfortunately triggered during the night as guests exited their rooms.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff were nice. Place has a weird old smell. But it is an old building. Decor is dated and bedding feels meh. Bathroom shower head had someone else’s hair wrapped around it. For the price it’s kinda what I expected. North American motel vibes in castle like building. View was nice. Parking easy. Neighbour was annoying and started playing music at around 2am. Had to put my AirPods in to sleep but still slept terrible. The noise and the beds a bit hard for me. That’s not the hotels fault.

The building is excellent. The stay not great. I don't recommend an interior rooms as the temperature was out of our control(hot and stuffy). They kindly gave us a new room when asked. A 4 star rating is to high...ex. paper cups, no chairs on the terrace. Even with a language barrier, the staff could be more friendly.

Mixed feelings but overall disappointing

They did not provide us with the VIP treatment (welcome drinks) promised in my Hotels.com reservation. 3 euros for a beer at the hotel bar is crazy expensive for a small Portuguese town. On top of that, the two waiters were serving cocktails to themselves and drinking them in front of us. Surreal, I have never seen such thing in my life. I have been visiting hotels at least twice a month for business in more than 50 countries Hot water was not available in my room. Dinner was good at a decent price. The building is beautiful but should be taken care of better. Breakfast buffet is not a 4 star one. Far from it.
