Hotel Do Sado Business Nature

Husband booked a one night stay in a cheap hotel for an early morning appointment in Setubal. I decided to tag along. I never stay in hotels this cheap: €61!!! Obviously I can only comment about check-in and our room. It was amazing. Two huge single beds, fairly good aircon. Decent bathroom with bath and overhead shower and a small balcony from which you could see the sea. The beds are firm, which I like. And the room was pretty big. For the price I couldn't fault it. We didn't have breakfast but walked past and it looked good. Free parking in a tight underground carpark with lift up to the hotel.

Situated on top of a hill (which you wouldn't want to walk up!), the views from the balconies are amazing. Unfortunately, even though the hotel was good value, there should be an expectation of cleanliness. Not that it was dirty, more grubby due to it desperately needing some renovation. Outdated decor and wood clad corridors made us feel like we had jumped in a time portal and arrived back in the early 90s. The place appeared empty as we never saw anyone else and there was only two other vehicles in the car park, so it was rather strange that they decided to put someone in the room above ours. I shouldn't say 'someone' as it sounded like a herd of baby elephants crashing around, and the squeak when they opened their balcony doors made us jump every time. Bring some of your best noise cancelling headphones as this place is noisy, even when there are no guests. The noise extended into the bathroom with our toilet making a banshee like wail for a good 60 seconds after every flush, meaning we just could not flush when visiting the facilities during the night else we wake everyone in the immediate vicinity. Breakfast was fine, although as we went down an hour before closure, lots was missing and not replenished which was annoying. Also, I do like to test the toast machines in each hotel I stay, and this one I just could not work out how it worked. Maybe that was due to lack of sleep due to the banshee living in the U-bend? Anyway, we stayed one night and got out as quick as we could to the relative calm and quietness of the roads. Unlikely we will return.

It is quite far from the center in slopes area. Dilapidated furniture. Spacious room but the room door does not soundproof other guests. Cleanliness of rooms scarce and shabby. It can even be a whole day without being cleaned! Lack of bed linen type cushions or other pillows or some other blanket. The room was missing a small lounge table that if it appeared in the photo and that by space could fit more. The hotel has good views of the city and little outside noise because it is far away from the city center and nearby roads.
