Horrible place to stay even for one night ... I booked 4 nights but after one night we canceled reservation - one night was VERY Expensive - 65 EURO!!!! Very dangerous elevator !!!! in the room is basically NOTHING !!!! Don't go there ... you can find any other better Hotel/Hostel in that location - from our room we had a view on staircase - we were unable to sleep because of noise and temperature - (only small & ventilator / fan) All in all DISASTER !!!! Very expensive Disaster....

We stayed in this hostel for 3 nights in a private double room. When I am looking for a hostel (NOT a hotel), I expect a lower price, a bed and a shower. We paid 172 Eur. for three nights, which would have been decent enough. However. The mattress was so bad I got bruises on my body from sticking springs. The shower was broken and we could not wash up normally - the water was running everywhere except for the shower head. The room was incredibly small (as opposed to what was shown in the pictures online), not overly clean either.
On top of everything, I found it reasonable to ask for a discount for all the inconveniences during our checkout. However, the staff was unwilling to even consider my request, nor did they provide me with the contacts of the manager, finding an excuse that he is spending time with his family (instead of being available and responsible for what is happening at his hostel).
I do not reccommend Aqua Alegre for those who want to get accommodation for the value of their money.

I booked this online. My plans changed so with months of warning I wanted to cancel and hoped a refund. I would of understood if they would take out an administrative fee. But no, they would not refund my money. I made it clear that I was still coming so they couldn't double dip and two payments for the room. Unhappy with service.

They respected my wish to be on a upper floor to start. That was really helpful because this hotel can be really noisy. The guy at the reception desk could speak ENglish and fluent French. He was nice and friendly.
The room was bright but the windows did not close properly. The bedding quality was OK.
The good surpirse was the fridge and kitchnette for breakfast.
The bathroom is ok, not dirty but very old.
The good point is the terrasse where you can have a drink ( the reception sells bottles of wine and it is not expensive) and even enjoey your breakfast, there is always someone to talk with !

Oh and the elevator is a real experience ! Very old one, really nice ( typical from the 40s-50s) but can bear only 2 persons ( we tried 4 and we actually blocked it!!)

Very good situation, quite calm during the weekend. We have already recommended this place to a friend, because the room rate is cheap for this city !
