Residencial do Sul

First thing to say about this place is that the staff makes this place, every one of them were fantastically friendly and and helpful. This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel and there have been some changes. Our room was much smaller than before and a bit on the cold side - this is not too much of a problem for us but other folk might not like it at this time of the year (December). The room was basic, very clean, the bed was warm and comfy but the shower although working okay was small and the step in and out of it was not easy to manage - for some this could provide problems. We chose the Residencial do Sul hotel as we knew it had a small kitchen which is useful for travellers like ourselves on a low budget. The kitchen has moved though and is not as good as it once was but is perfectly manageable - but note, there is no hob only a microwave and fridge. The hotel also has a small eating area which I found had improved from its move, it also has a lounge for Internet use but we never used it as reception in the bedroom was sufficient. I like this hotel, it is not the best in town but, for those on a low budget, it has everything you need. Once again, we had a great time in a great city filled with friendly people.

The room was cold at night and the doors did not close perfectly - they were secure, but a bit ill-fitting.
