Independente Bica

Very aesthetic room and very friendly staff. Thanks for the wonderful stay :)

We traveled with our adult daughter and her boyfriend and rented two rooms on two separate stays. Daughter stated that the rooms were clean however their room was very small and did not have any kind of closet space. On our first stay, there was no access to balconies except by walking over wooden bed frame which enveloped whole bed. On way back from balcony I fell hitting my head and bruising upper arm. Husband’s side of bed was chosen after this incident. On our second stay we arrived late from Porto and were upgraded to penthouse which was on a different floor from the rest of our party. No big deal but going from room to room was difficult for them as the elevators can only be used for floor you are staying on or lower. On one occasion I went down to their floor to borrow something and didn’t use my room key to go back up and was momentarily left in darkness. Penthouse room was SPACIOUS compared to regular rooms but was very warm/hot and AC didn’t seem to work well. Ours was a handicap room which had no overhead rain shower head and shower was not completely enclosed therefore ramp and floor would get wet and ramp became very slippery. Bathroom also smelled like sewer gas at times. Automatic fragrance spray in bathroom but there were times when smell was annoying. I consider these minor annoyances as we were often gone all day and used loft area to cool down (AC worked great there). Location was great for us first time visitors to Portugal.

clean room, great amenities, great view

We really enjoyed our stay here! The location was great and the hotel was very clean. The staff were so nice, friendly, and helpful. We felt very welcome and would definitely stay here again.
