Pensao Estacao Central

"Great location that allows you to walk to many places, also with a subway located at just 3 min distance. 24 hours reception which is really good. There was a problem with the hot water but when I asked they said they are gonna fix it, which they did. The room needs some improvements and the cleaning can be better in my opinion but in rest everything was okay. So let's say that for the money you pay, it's acceptable for 2/3 days."

"Horrible experience.\nBed bugs alert, don’t come. One of our roommates got bitten.\nGrumpy staff, dirty and smelly room and shower. No a/c. The view was broken windows. Dirty bed sheets.\nNo elevators in a hotel.\n\nOne of my worst experiences at a hotel.\nIt is not even worth the cheap price.\nOnly the location is good."

"Pensão Estação Central\n\nWhen a professional photographer takes pictures of a structure, he tries to highlight all the positive features. In fact, when you look at the photos of this guesthouse, first on Booking, then on Google Maps, you don't realize the discomfort you're going to face. I've never written a review of this kind. Reviews can be positive or negative, of course, but I've never come across a review that is two-faced: advertising on one side; reality on the other. The photographs on the internet don't give a good idea of ​​the discomfort you'll have to face once you're inside this guesthouse. I don't want to be offensive, but photographic reality is one thing and real reality is another. The administration should keep the guesthouse the same as it advertises.\nThe reception in the photographs seemed clean and tidy. In reality, when you arrive, it's like a warehouse with mountains of stuff. You immediately feel like you've arrived in a place forgotten by God.\nThe rooms. The rooms are dirty. We were a group and had two rooms. Both were dirty. From the photographs, you can see that all the rooms were full of hair. The hair wasn't ours. You can see it clearly from the photos. The closets were full of black sand whose origin we don't know, see the photos attached here. The floors are laminate. Laminate is a type of cardboard that absorbs sewage and swells. But then it stinks. You can see in the photos both the burst laminate and the compressed cardboard skirting board. All materials that absorb mold. So for cleanliness it's worth only one star, and not two. The curtains had knobs covered in sticky material: maybe they hadn't been cleaned for years. I didn't dare touch the sticky surfaces of the windows either. The chair cushion was full of stains and I never sat on that chair.\nBut now let's describe the real gem of this guesthouse: the bathroom. The floor of our bathroom had hair and so I assume the cleaning staff didn't come by. You can see clearly from the photos how small the bathroom is. It was 60 cm by two and a half meters. You can see the size of the bathroom from the photos. The toilet seat wouldn't stay open, so when I was sitting I was always on my back. Also, the toilet seat was smaller than the toilet seat itself. So it felt like I was sitting on old plastic. But that's not all! The bathroom was so narrow that my knees couldn't be in front of me, I had to sit on my side, and I'm 1.70 cm tall, normal, I'm a normal person! But that's not all, the real gem in this bathroom is the shower. Most likely there used to be a tub here, the tub was removed, a wall was built, and the tub faucet remained there, useful for saving money. The tub faucet is at hip height, so to take a shower you have to hold the shower head in your hand. There's no simple hook high up on the wall to hold the shower head to the wall, the shower head had to be kept on the floor or you had to keep one hand busy. And that's not all. Since the faucet is at arm height, and since the shower is very small, I often found myself bumping into the lever and PUFF!! I turned on the boiling water! Or zacchete! And I turned on the freezing water! In short, a shocking delirium. A ruined vacation for having chosen this guesthouse. And then without a bidet! The bidet makes people clean!! It should be installed everywhere!!! There is no air conditioning and no heating!!"
