Lel Madalena GuestHouse

Perfect location, the room is nice with a shared kitchen that we can make simple food.

I very much enjoyed the convenience of being right downtown. It is on a busy street so street noise is noticeable at night. It is quite incognito from the outside which could be a plus. The concierge at the Memoria was very helpful with tourist suggestions. Would do it again.

The rooms were nice and the kitchen and water dispenser were very handy. It was very loud though with the people on the streets outside being able to hear clearly when sleeping, and everytime the water was used in any rooms the pipes made a very loud grinding sound which was very frustrating when trying to sleep. Good location though, close to many things.

Great location, great price, lots of added security to get in, and clean rooms. I like the shared kitchen, especially the water dispenser from the fridge. I got the single bedroom, and it is spacious if sharing with another person. There is a TV equipped with local channels and streaming service you have to input. The area is on the hilly side, but not too difficult to access. A few things that I didn’t like were how thin the walls are in the room. Imagine trying to get sleep but you can hear the next room talking almost clearly with every shuffle and movement. Also the shower was hard to figure out, but took several trial and errors. Overall it was a great experience, and would definitely lodge here again.

This property is not as it appears. While the units are nicely decorated, the location is convenient, and the staff is friendly (but located elsewhere), the positives end there. Cons: - The check-in experience was poor. I didn't receive any email with instructions and had to wait outside until someone let me in, only to find that I had to check-in at the hotel across the street. However, despite the frustrating process, the staff was excellent. - The building is run-down and almost seemed abandoned. Upon entering, there was discarded furniture and a completely dark foyer. Could not find lights anywhere. - The walls are paper-thin. I could hear the guests in the next room snoring. Pros: - Nicely decorated, but this is less appealing when you're uneasy about entering the building and can't sleep because you can hear your neighbor snoring. - Convenient location. - Clean.
