The rooms are very well maintained and the size was surprising, big room. Sharing the parking with the mall is a great idea, one elevator ride and you are able to buy whatever you need. Good breakfast. Free internet, free parking. All the staff was very nice.

The park for cars it make no sense to exist inside the shopping center without direct connection with the hotel, making people getting cold and rain transporting the bags. Not a good thing for a 4 starts hotel.

We like everything about the hotel but if we had one complaint that would be that to get to the car park you need to do a short walk round the outside of the building. Other than that no complaints.
It was close to the centre of town and the renovations of the building ere excellent. Staff were excellent too especially on the reception desk. Car parking facilities in the main public car park next to the hotel. You use the blue ticket machine to buy your parking ticket which then gets validated by the hotel.

“Hotel to avoid if you are looking for a quiet and restful place.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Double or Twin Room

I stayed one week and came to relax, but to my regret I left exhausted. The hotel didn’t meet my expectations, which were based on the pictures I had seen. First, it is located along one of the busiest roads of Caldas da Rainha. It is impossible to enjoy the terrace. My room, at the back of the hotel, was facing a blind wall. It was dark, somber and old fashioned, and there was only one small window. My request for a double bed was not met. The greatest downside is that the rooms are really extremely noisy. The walls are paper thin and one can hear everything in the neighboring rooms, earplugs are not effective for a light sleeper. This hotel also seems to be used by touring companies, lots of tourists arrive late at night and it is never really quiet. One night I didn’t sleep at all because of ongoing noise in the room next to mine and a very disturbing cigarette smoke. The staff is trying to be helpful but they fail to solve problems or complaints.
I did like the breakfast choices and the restaurant. The food is really good. The staff was helpful and they tried to give me a quiet room, as requested. Unfortunately, it was far from quiet. The hotel is also in a perfect location to explore the beautiful silver coast.
