In brief

What works, what to weigh

  • Lively on-site entertainment — Live performances and a nightclub mean you don't have to go far for a night out, and there's a bar and lounge area on site.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Noise from the nightlife — Being above bars and in the heart of Bairro Alto means street and bar noise is likely, especially at night.
  • Basic breakfast — Breakfast is included but described as basic – toast, cereal, and coffee – which some may find limited.
  • Compact rooms — Some rooms are noted as compact, which may not suit those expecting plenty of space.
