Studio 17 by Atlantichotels - Al

Friendly staff and good location

Apartment very satisfactory. Sadly lacking air con. Also there is a problem trying to contact reception by telephone. Phone just rings out. Another negative is there is only 1 key supplies As the key also controls electricity it can be a problem if 1 person goes out with key the other person has no electricity supply in the apartment.

It is a nice location because it is just off the main ***** of Praia de Rocha, so it’s quiet. But 1 towel per week, 1 cleaning per week, I had to argue to get an extra pillow, and the beds were bricks. Honestly, stay here if you want the absolute bare minimum, however, if you expect anything remotely above adequate, spend the extra money and go elsewhere.

Forts noticed was when arriving the parking was next to a trailer park area or a homeless camp, felt unsafe especially traveling with children. Room was dirty and appliances were old and dirty. Noticed what appeared to be blood stains on the ceiling lamp and walls. Ended up having to leave and paying extra to stay at a different hotel. Will not recommend this place at all.

Nice bathrooms with big tub and bidet. Terrible beds. No heater in the rooms. Was cold at night

My wife booked a last minute winter sun break for us and to be honest looking at some of the reviews it was in the back of my mind that it was off season and if it really was that horrific we could find somewhere else in the area quite cheap. What a surprise when we got there. I'm not sure if they have had a massive clean up of their act or what but there were no strange smells in the apartment, we barely noticed the small gypsy camp across the road, the place was lovely and clean (OK it was very basic kitchen but we were on holiday and ate out a lot), the pool was small but nice and clean. As for the beds, I have slept on much worse beds in hotels that have cost a lot more per night. They charge extra if you want your towels changed through your stay and they offer a wash only laundry service for €10 a load. At the end of the day you get what you pay for. But I liked it here and would go back again, it's just a place to sleep, you want more go to a hotel and pay more
