Santiago de Alfama - Boutique Hotel

Spacious rooms, great location, beautiful hotel

Room flooded from shower not draining properly

Everything was perfect

Rooms could use soundproofing

The hotel is an old and carefully restored mansion, a very impressive building. The location is in front of a small, beautiful square, where you can sit outside while at the restaurant. The view from our room was breathtaking! The whole neighborhood is on a hill with an old castle on top and a myriad of small streets leading to it, with beautiful churches and small squares. Delightful!

I think the restoration of the building was very carefully and tastefully made. However, there are small details that could be improved in order to add practicality to beauty. For example, if you are not careful, the water faucets tend to project water horizontally towards you. Or the glass door separating the WC from the bathroom didn't stay closed. The hotel staff has told us that the owners have recently bought the adjacent mansion and will enlarge the hotel, even adding a swimming pool. I'm sure it will be magnificent and I would certainly return to see it. But I would also recommend to check the small practical details in order to further enhance the comfort.
