Independente Príncipe Real
Amazing location and hotel. Great rooftop bar and community room to work and chill. My only concern was the staff at check in. There was zero supervision and that usually means the staff are not as attentive as they should be. They were rookies at customer service

The studio was clean/spacious and the property location was great and walking distance to everything. My only comment is the wifi did not work in my room unless I stood next to the window. Otherwise, staff were helpful, kind and welcoming!
