Pensão Leão De Ouro

The location is great for the beach, seafood restaurants, and bus connections all over, and the neighborhood is nice. There's a rooftop garden that's good for relaxing. My room was clean and nice, though a bit too small, with no proper place to hang clothes or a towel. The little cabin fridge would be easier to use if its door opened the other way, since it's tucked into a corner. Overall, good value for the low price. We may come back.

A small, no-fuss room that worked perfectly for us. There were basic dishes, plus a microwave and hot water. The location was ideal, and the staff were friendly.

The renovation was done well, and the woman managing the place was kind. She couldn't figure out how to turn on the room's heat, though, so she brought blankets and eventually a portable heater. That didn't make up for the rest of the stay. The hallway and stair lights went out before you could get down the stairs, leaving you to hold the railing in the dark. The marble steps are deep and slippery, which felt unsafe. I wouldn't put myself through another stay here.

We wanted to get out of there as quickly as we could. The room was in poor shape, with loose cables coming out of the wall and mold in the sink and shower. On arrival, the woman quoted us 40 Euro a night without breakfast. Inside, a sign said the room cost 34,95 including all costs and tax. She just shrugged.
