Nice, spacious and comfy rooms. Well equipped. However the instant coffee sticks were a joke. They looked like 5 years beyond expiration date and tasted even worse. Good breakfast with good choice of bread. The lift is moving extremely fast.
Very clean hotel in general . There was a strange smell in the room (I think old furniture ) and we had to sleep with the window opened . The pool was closed and that was the greatest disappointment because we booked this hotel especially for the swimming pool . We also had half board and it wasn’t a good experience at all. Very poor breakfast and only two basic options for the dinner . The Hotel looks like having financial problems ..they had no clients . Hope they can recover . Good luck !
Not reccomended at all, this property is torn out and they apply efficiency in costing of operation. The lobby i step in at the moment was all lamps decorations are off, only 1 staff without hotel uniform guard, check in was smooth, at the room the aircondition was not working, the staff apology about the issues. Restaurant service very slow, shower quality was ok but the warm & cold water was not great. However the price for this hotel is cheap so at the end just dont expect too much to what you paid for as Golden Tulip Brand name i believe will be dissappointed to see his property like this…
It is convenient for those who work in Sao Joao Maderia.but breakfast disappoint.
Nice looking hotel but lacked convenience and comfort. Air conditioning never worked although promised will be fixed. Every day spent with room window ajar. Had to sleep with window open to let the crisp air in (fortunately the nights were cool) from outside otherwise the room is just too uncomfortable to sleep- and I live in the tropics lol. Not recommended for light sleeper as sleeping with the window open means hearing the occasional rooster crow and dogs barking in the middle of the night and early morning. The afternoon sun literally bakes the hotel room in the day. Interestingly the lobby and lifts are always well air conditioned. Dinner was a set menu with no alternative options and the food was mediocre- I would recommend to eat outside River Restaurant is just a short 10min walk and serves great Portuguese roast chicken- I’ve written a Google review about it :) However, I would give three stars. One for the staff who are lovely ( the guys are all very attentive and responsive), and the second for amenities such as reliable fast wifi and rooms although show signs of wear are well maintained and clean. TV channel choices are abundant and room is well stocked- toilettries, bottled water, range of towels, bath robes, luggage stand, mini fridge with drinks, charging points, etc. Bed and pillows are comfortable. Was here for a business trip with colleagues and noticed quite a few other business guests staying here too. I would not recommend to stay here if it’s more than one or two nights.
