포자다 두 프린시피

Very hard to find parking, called ahead and they assured us they had use of a parking lot, but when arrived was told it was not available, had to drive around for street parking.

Really enjoyed our stay here, friendly staff who spoke good english and very walkable to old town.

This hotel is in a great location, easy walk to the old town but not too noisy at night and handy for local amenities and shops. It is set around an attractive courtyard and all the rooms look out onto the pool. The room was rather on the small side with no sitting area, not really anywhere to put the cases and only some hanging pegs. Having said that it had a fridge and a safe (with a very old fashioned key) and it did have AC but this was extremely noisy. It was really hot when we arrived as they had left the window open but it soon cooled down. There was also plentiful hot water in the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. There is a grating between the bathroom and the corridor which can't be isolated and if there are other noisy guests it's very audible. Reception were a little bit lacklustre but the guy who looked after the breakfast was amazing, so friendly and helpful, and also had better English than the reception staff. Breakfast was good for a small hotel, with plenty fresh fruit and a selection of interesting breads and pastries. There was some hot food and they could make you an omelette. The selection changed every day, and they will cut up exotic fruit from the bowl for you. The pool was very nice and warm with some seating around it. Unfortunately the hotel is big enough to take small groups and this meant breakfast could be crowded and noisy if you hit the same time as the group.

This hotel has an old European feeling to it. The lobby/ reception areas are nicely decorated and give you that old antique feeling. The staff was very nice and polite. The onsite restaurant has easy access to the pool area. The guess quarters, though nicely put together, should only be for single occupancy and not double. The rooms are too small for two people plus luggage. Also, the toilet room is extremely small, so if you have some size on you, you won't fit inside. The wall unit AC is very loud, plus the ceiling fan is squeaky.

Rooms are a bit small but does feel fairly clean. Staff were super nice, friendly, and helpful. Area around this pousada is safe and walkable, with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Less than 5 minutes walking from the bus station and about 10 minutes walking to the historical center.

Great hotel and location. Very nice hotel and great location. Nice selection for breakfast in the morning. Water at breakfast and better towels were our only way to improve our stay. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
