Pensao Residencial Mirasol

They were so friendly and easy to talk to. The room has no hair dryer, but they borrowed me while I was staying. The style of interior was classic and I would like to recommend people who like vintage or antique styles. The view from the balcony of the lobby was amazing.

It’s being renovated by new owner so not much to say, probably not the best time to stay here due to the noise. Housekeeping staff clean daily. No elevator.

Absolutely awful, the smell as you walk in is overwhelming, and so grubby, the bed and pillows completely worn out. Bedding and towels like sandpaper. Breakfast was stopped mid week, so the 10/10 reviews are false. The owner was banging my door late at night to ask why I had given a bad review, it was that bad I came home after 3 days, I felt compromised and threatened for speaking the truth, They even changed the WiFi password because I complained, I should have known when I had to wait for someone to let me in on arrival for 40 mins, even though I emailed them beforehand and told them of my arrival time. Bedfokg and

Staff was very accommodating when I arrived late to the hotel. Room had all the amenities that I needed. I enjoyed the vintage decor. Location was safe and walkable to Av. do Mar for restaurants and shopping.

The staff were friendly and courteous. However the bedrooms are in desperate need of some work.

The good: It’s an old facility but kept clean. Lots of restaurants nearby. The not so good: While the old gentleman managing is nice and polite, his son can be very controlling and pushy. For my check the old man welcomed me and took down my info from my passport like any other facility and was shown my room. Later when I was leaving for lunch, the son wanted to “complete” my check in process by asking to pay the tourist tax. I made the payment and then he wanted to confirm my details of my passport again and basically read out loud in the reception all my details including the number, expiration etc. Now, this is a common sense that a passport contains sensitive information and privacy is huge; so what he did was simply ignorant and unacceptable. I disliked interacting with him overall- he was very controlling with his behavior, was really mean. I returned back that night around 10 pm, the building was dark and they keep all the lights off even at the reception. When I entered through the main door in the reception in the dark, I shut it and locked the door. The son comes out to the reception and turns on the light, telling me that I am loud. Mind you the building is right on the street and you can hear loud noise all the time. I told him I couldn’t see in the dark and he brushed it off and was mean again. Next few days I stayed quiet the whole time but noticed that he was mean with his comments while trying to “help” that I really didn’t ask for. Disliked my stay!

Easy, central and clean with a nice and warm staff!
