My husband and I stayed at 1A (YOUROPO-Market) for 4 nights with our 2 teenage daughters. We arrived a few hours early, the check-in office helped us store our luggages in their lockers until the check-in time. We loved the design of the apartment, and though we found issues with the shower on the first night, they were resolved by the next day. There was a flight of stairs we needed to walk up before we could reach our room on the first floor, but we saw elevators for the subsequent floors above after the initial stairs. The apartment had high ceilings and was expansive enough that walking from one end to the other actually requires a bit of time! My husband loved the enclosed balcony in the kitchen, which made for a good spot for people-watching and allowed us to admire the street views from different angles. The location was convenient, with the Bolhão market just across the street, the supermarket Pingo Doce downstairs, a 1-min walk from Bolhão metro station, a 9-min walk to the São Bento train station, and a few mins walk to the famous Rua de Santa Catarina. There were 2 queen beds and 2 bathrooms, and we found the beds to be comfortable, though the pillows were on the softer side. The wifi was fast and the service was excellent. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Really lovely hotel. Although there was a clothes shop within the hotel it would have been good to have a small convenience store for water, snacks or even a vending machine. Although drinks and snacks were available at the pool bar, they were expensive. Also didn’t like that a service charge was added at every single transaction. The reception staff were extremely helpful. Nothing was too much bother. In particular when my son got badly sunburnt, I had asked about a nearby chemist but they were kind enough to give me cream which worked wonders. The location is out a bit from any sort of bars/shops. However it was only a 15 minute walk and the Ubers were very reasonable. If you are looking for a relaxing, slow paced break away from the hustle and bustle or a keen golfer this is a great hotel to stay at!
