    Great location near the town centre and a short walk from the train station. The reception staff were lovely and very helpful. It was adequate for an overnight stop off before a flight, a basic budget hotel with no frills.

    Casa da Madalena is in a great location, especially for the airport to hostel bus, no. 16, as well as the boats to the islands and old town. Very friendly and helpful staff who named a few local authentic restaurants to eat very good food. Safe and relaxed atmosphere and easy to chat to other travellers. Pancakes great of course, and a nice way to meet everyone and have small talk or make plans for the day.
