Service at the reception - professional and really helpful (exellent coffee at the bar).. I do recommend this hotel for all kind of travellers (business trip, family trip etc.). The only tiny...

For my opinion hotel situated at very good point. Close to the metro (5 min walk), in the old city (we didn't have to take any transport to walk around even to the river you can get by foot in reasonable time) and nearby, 1 minute walk in the commercial centre (on your right if going from the hotel) there...

This hotel was VERY easy to find and get to from the airport. We took the 30 min. metro ride for 2.30 euro, it was a few short blocks walk, located near the heart of the city centre. The staff, particularly, George, were extremely helpful. We had a balcony (although very small), tub with hot shower, and two twin beds.... More

As earlier reviews once we found it the hotel staff could not have been more friendly. First night we struggled with the air on but the staff were very prompt in sorting that. The hotel is close to a number of s hopping centers where food is available at a reasonable cost to 10pm most nights. Well worth a walk... More

In the review we did read that all rooms had balcony and mini bars, ours had neither. Upon asking the reception staff they said the web site needed... More

A group of us stayed here from 8-10 July in double and triple rooms. Each room was adequately equipped, clean and tidy. We were really pleased with the hotel and found reviews on the third party booking website really helpful. Breakfast was good and there was plenty of it! Thanks to the friendly staff for their help prior to and... More

The Sao Jose was difficult to find on its one way street, and by the time we found the entrance we had passed the carpark entrance. Paying E15 per day for parking was totally worth it, but don't take a car bigger than a Mini (original) as turning space is very limited. The room was clean and quaint, although the... More

This hotel was impressive in many regards. The staff were professional and friendly and spoke good English. The location was convenient to sightseeing in town and also to several local shops and cafes. The room was small and the shower was very small, with no tub. Also, had to park many blocks away.. The mini bar was great and cheap,... More

To start with: Do not try to use the garage in the hotel if you have a bigger car. We had a BMW 320 and it needed one person at the front and one at the back to navigate the extremely narrow space. There was about an inch on each side. Parking however is difficult in this part of the... More
