Laitau is a newish purpose built, no-frills reasonably priced hotel within walking distance of the town centre with its restaurants and market. Clean, nicely appointed rooms with recently refurbed bathrooms. Good buffet breakfasts including hot dishes. Sadly it has an industrial coffee machine that pumps out undrinkable slop, even more baffling in a country with ubiquitous excellent coffee rather lets the side down but this seems to be standard for these types of hotels. Friendly, helpful staff. The place delivers what it sets out to offer. Parking on the forecourt can be tight.
I spent 2 nights in a hotel. Its a well located familiar hotel, My room was clean and comfortable. The location of the hotel is very good, walking distance from the old part of the city. The staff was extremly helpful. I was alone, but i saw happy kids and dogs there. So its good for a family vacation .
Hotel Laitau is about 12 minutes straight down the road from the city centre. It has excellent receptionists - very helpful. There is a generous reception area and a reasonably sized breakfast room. NOT all rooms are non-smoking. There is a NON-SMOKING floor. The rooms are very clean, sparsely furnished, but everything is there. The breakfast on our first day was quite handsome (1st January). The following day, less so (no REAL coffee, just cevada -YUK - for shame!!.Very little cheese - cheese is a staple here!!) Budget hotel, budget quality, but carefully administered. (the Visa machine wasn't working, so I had to pay the bill in cash ...)
All in all an average hotel for the rooms and breakfast. Nice situation close to city center. Friendly and helpful reception. Rooms were not the most luxurious, but bathroom was ok. Breakfast did stay in my memory although it was plentiful.
Hotel a bit antiquated but nice and spacious. The breakfast was very basic, in fact I didn't eat anything other than toast. It's typical 70s/80s décor and in this respect very Portuguese but for a provincial hotel it did the job. Very handy for the train station and football ground but about a mile from the beach.
