Ski Parque

in the middle of a major shopping area. Close to Metro station. The property is spacious but a bit dated. It is very hot when we were there.

Spent a week here with the family in two rooms, one twin, one double. This is a very small hotel with about 16 rooms, a tiny reception and an adjoining restaurant. That was quite upscale (€16 per head for breakfast) so we didn’t try it. The hotel checked all the important boxes: - clean and safe - comfortable bed with usable pillows - quiet (for being so central) - friendly, helpful reception staff - the small pool was a really nice extra. Both our rooms had small kitchenettes which turned out to be a really useful bonus as it allowed us to make our own breakfasts. Equipped with not much more than a small hob, a microwave, fridge, Nespresso coffee maker, and minimal cutlery and crockery. It turned out to have everything we needed except a kitchen knife. Negotiating the loan of one from the adjoining restaurant was a bit more difficult than it needed to be IMO and took the edge off otherwise friendly and helpful service. The location, right on the river and within easy walking distance of the center, is absolutely excellent.

Adorable historic boutique hotel! Recently renovated with a fantastic location on the Duro river and a nice breakfast. Be aware… the property is NOT staffed after 10 pm. So check in earlier than that. We checked in late in the day and needed to wait outside for the staff member to come to the property. We were a little thrown off by that. Think of it like a cross between a boutique hotel and an AirBnB! Once she got there we settled in and had a great experience. Staff during working hours is very friendly, helpful and accommodating.
