Residencial Duque de Saldanha

I would only recommend this property as a last resort. I regret not spending a bit more for a better place. The hallway area had a strong smell of cigarettes and alcohol, and the room was not in the same condition as the photos—it definitely needed some upkeep. The plumbing was noisy; flushing the toilet or using the shower caused a loud sound that could easily disturb anyone else in the room. The bathroom door wasn’t fully completed, allowing both light and sound to pass through. Additionally, the room had poor soundproofing, so I was frequently woken up by noise from the hallway and the street. To make matters worse, my mother-in-law found a bug in her bed. On the positive side, the staff was friendly during check-in, and the location was convenient. However, given the overall experience, I would have preferred staying in a hostel with shared accommodations.

The room smells and blankets were dusty, there are flies in the room. The shower doors are very loose and very difficult to operated. We couldn’t get a shower because the Hot water couldn’t come out, reported to the receptionist and he said would come to the room to check it out, but we waited entire evening and he never did!! Also the parking information the hotel provided is totally wrong, took us hours to find a parking space and paid very expensive parking fees. They should be honest about the situation. Don’t waste your money and time for this terrible hotel!!!

Only in case of emergency The room smelled bad. The reception was not reachable by phone at all.
