Pousada Vitória

Awesome!

A calm, pleasant inn, with a bakery downstairs that sells plenty of things to eat when you get hungry. A few room details fell short: the TV was tiny and still an old tube model, and there was no bathroom mirror. They didn't affect our stay too much, but I've stayed elsewhere without those issues.

The staff were helpful and attentive. One of the women was kind enough to lend me a hair dryer. Breakfast was good, with juice, cakes, bread, and cold cuts; the shower had hot water, and the minibar and air conditioner in my room both worked well. The place itself is very basic, more for arriving and sleeping than spending time in. The mattress and pillows were uncomfortable, the TV channels were limited, and the bathroom was tiny. Fine for one or two nights.

It's a simple inn, a long way from the center, suited to travelers who just need a night and want to save money. The owners' warm, attentive manner makes up for some of the limited facilities, and they serve a good breakfast.
