Pousada Porto Rua das Flores

6/10 Okay
"Was in great location. Note if you plan on using Uber they cannot get you all the way to the hotel you are better off with taxi. Staff always seemed too busy for questions, need a designated concierge or something. Room was very small with few amenities for a 4 star. Bathroom had nowhere to put anything except on the floor, and the whole room had little lighting or places to put anything. Was also not quietest hotel i have been. You could hear all the noise from the hallways."
