Hotel Sagres

The hotel is not far from the airport, the Historical Center, the University and other important sites: I relied on Uber and had no problem getting around. Staff was polite and helpful. There were some local food options at breakfast buffet. Yummy! Nice swimming pool. Room was clean. Towels white and spotless.

Location is in a bad neighborhood, not safe to walk around after sunset or when commerce is closed. Baked salty foods were not available at 6:00 when breakfast starts; they arrived around 6:45. (there were fruits, bread, cakes etc; only the fresh-from-the-oven goods such as the tortinhas de queijo and pão de queijo were late) Air conditioned was central and too strong, making the room either ice cold or, if I choose to turn the air off, too hot. The room smelled strongly of cleaning liquids, but I understood this is a common local practice, due to the extra high humidity of the city. It didn't bother me, but people who suffer from allergies must be aware. Wi-fi was weak.

Location was okay. Room was acceptable but not warm and welcoming.

Hotel had an outdated look that you couldn't see from the photos.

Personnel very friendly and assisted when requested.

Location, very loud aircondition and the elevators are small
