Casa Oliver Príncipe Real

Great hotel. Location very good and staff all very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Nothing

Excellent staff, great location, big rooms, well decorated. I would recommend that people stay here, though not in some of the basement rooms.

We were at first given a room in the basement where the bathroom smelled incredibly strongly of damp. The staff were quick to transfer us to another room when we asked but I think this problem needs to be fixed and guests not put in this room until it is fixed as for health reasons I wouldn’t stay there, not to mention that feels unreasonable given the money spent on the accommodation.

Bed was super comfortable, and my bathroom had genuinely the best shower I think I've ever experienced in my life. It's a waterfall shower with amazing water pressure- I didn't want to get out! The room was super nice, it had a TV, a mini bar (nice if you want to buy some stuff and refrigerate), etc. Staff were lovely as well! Fantastic location. Right next to an amazing place called Embaixada and some great restaurants / lookouts / bars. Definitely recommend staying here!

The breakfast was definitely good, but in my opinion not worth the price (12 or 13 euros a person, I think). You can get a much cheaper breakfast (Portugal is cheap) elsewhere, but it was still nice to have! Another thing is that the WiFi really didn't work at all in my room (room 15), so just be prepared in case you need to be answering emails / streaming / etc. I was on the bottom floor so maybe that had something to do with it, but it still should have worked properly. Luckily I didn't really have to use it, but it was definitely a little annoying at night when I was trying to upload my photos from the day and couldn't get a connection. Another thing is that there were a lot of bugs in my room. I noticed there was a Raid plug-in in the wall which may have helped a little, but I had to kill probably 25 mosquitoes and a few big, multi-legged creatures crawling around the bathroom. Definitely something I wish I didn't have to deal with but it's an old building so I get that it happens.
