La posizione

Sporca, vecchia, colazione sotto le aspettative. Ci vuole poco per dare una sensazione di pulizia e accoglienza. Ogni volta che entravo in stanza avevo una sensazione (e non solo sensazione) di incuria e sporcizia. Il bagno è la doccia non commentabile

"Décevant et sans âme. A besoin d'une rénovation complète."

5.0

Bonne situation. Le petit déjeuner est varié. Un des réceptionnistes était très aimable.

L'hôtel est très vétuste. Il aurait besoin d'une rénovation importante. La chambre supérieure avait une belle vue sur Pico mais l'état de la chambre laissait à désirer (panier poubelle déchiqueté, cabine de douche en plastique très vieillotte, un tiroir en bois fendu, miroir avec rayures...). Certes c'est un endroit historique, mais le prix n'est pas justifié par rapport à d'autres pousadas au Portugal. Il manque d'élégance (fleurs, tapis, meubles, etc.)
