Hospedaria Verde Esperança

"Super good location, not too busy area and good cheap local restaurants and pastelarias around. Room was big and with balcony. There is kitchen but nothing special, microwave and kettle. Maria, the women who works there is super friendly."

"The guest house is situated in a beautiful location relatively convenient for travel. It's cheap and one of the rooms even has a (limited, but appreciated) sea view (that I know of). Unfortunately, this is where the pros stop. Don't get fooled by its rustic and humble appearance, but least of all by the low charge for a stay: the hotel is, mildly put, sub-par. It's under-staffed, I had only seen the owners on duty. Their accommodation left something to be desired to boot. You have to ask every time you want towels. The hotel doesn't seem equipped to host more than a handful of guests at a time, it gets cramped. There are three bathrooms and one kitchen for everyone to share. Hot water ran out once. Shortage of dishware and cutlery. Sheets aren't properly washed (old stains still present and plainly visible). All of this would've even been tolerable if not for one calamitous flaw: Bed bugs. No matter how cheap, be it one cent per night, it is not worth the trouble. I don't exaggerate. Come at your own risk, and only your own: don't bring family into this, especially not kids.\ntl;dr Have some self-respect and don't book Verde Esperança. The guest house belongs in a nightmare."

"The deal is very clear here: you pay little and you get even less :)\nIt's your choice if you're in a party mode and DON'T expect ANYTHING, except low price, a shelter and a bed.\nSome strange hair on you pillow don't bother you, hot water or no hot water suite you equally well (totally random).\nDon't be surprised if you wish to check-in late (e.g. 20h00), but there's no one to open the door :)"
