I recently stayed at Alcides Hotel and found it to be a charming choice for my visit, especially given its central location. The staff here were incredibly nice, making the experience all the more pleasant. A significant drawback, however, is the lack of on-site parking, and a rental car is a must to explore the area. Fortunately, there is free parking available about a ten-minute walk from the hotel.
The rooms are quite small, which is typical for older European hotels. While they provide the basic necessities and serve their purpose, the bed was extremely hard. I was thankful to have brought my own pillow. Despite being rated as a 2-star establishment, Alcides Hotel deserves a 3-star rating in my book. I’m giving it 4 stars, mainly because it offers excellent value for the price.

Overall, the property was Good: breakfasts, the dinner we had, the rooms were all as expected; the interior decor is good: the dining room had a display cabinet with an old radio set I remember from when I was a kid!! The location is a short walk (downhill) to the City Gates, good for buses, shops and marina with its shops and restaurants.
Unfortunately, we were in a street facing room where, on Wednesday night, we were woken up by music and what must have been karaoke at about 0130 (Thursday). When we made a complaint to the front desk Thursday morning, they were sympathetic and moved us to another room without issue.
They said they had previous issues with noise, even to the extent of calling the police - who would seem powerless to act, as the licence for the venue (Outrolado, next door to the hotel) is for Wednesdays to Sundays, 1900 to 0200. This venue is the only one of its sort in the area: the licence seems at odds with the locale.
Once I find out to whom to moan at in PDL, I intend to write a letter of complaint. The hotel doesn't need it and I guess, neither do any locals who live nearby.

The hotel is located in the city center and easy to find. The breakfast is great I loved the fresh squeezed orange juice!

I booked two double rooms, one 11 months out and one 8 months out. I confirmed with them that the rooms were good since they were checking I didnt accidentally book 2 rooms.
2 weeks before they tell me that the single room wouldn't be available and wanted to see if we can take a triple room. I never booked a single room but was told that even though I paid the price for a room with a double bed because it was a single traveler they were going into the single room.
My mom rebooked herself into another hotel and let them know, waited a few days and they never cancelled my mom's room, not sure if they were hoping I forgot and they could keep it, they were surprised when I cancelled it asking if I was still planning on staying there.
I ended up getting a triple room even though I just wanted the double, not sure if they were planning on sticking us both in this room and collecting the fees for 2 rooms.
Later when checking out the 'locked' room with my bags was unlocked and the door was wide open, I walked out with my bags without telling anyone.
If you are a single visitor and want a double room, say you have two people otherwise they will downgrade you.

Ideally located on pedestrian street, good sized room for a 2 star. The grab and go breakfast for early departures was great. They also booked my taxi for 4:45 am. Overall just a good deal.

Pokoje pěkné, precizní úklid. Recepce vždy vyšla vstříc a byla nápomocna. Na hotelu klid. V popisu špatně uvedeno: bez povlečení. Vše je připraveno.
Umístění v blízkosti centra, parkování na ulici a vzdálené.

The hotel is located at a fantastic location a short walk to the Town gates and the main squares. Lots of shopping and dining options available in the immediate area . We hope to return in the future and would definitely recommend the Alcides!

The staff was lovely and accommodating. Breakfast was ok, but in a small area that couldn’t hold the guests so there was a wait. We left after two nights only because the A/C was broken and it was a Sunday where no one could come help. They were lovely about it, and we wish we could have stayed due to their lovely demeanor. Rooms are a bit small and dated, but they get the job done!

Perfect stay! This hotel had a central location, easy to walk to restaurants and tour the town on foot, metered road parking just a few blocks away (free overnight). The staff were wonderfully cheerful, the bed comfortable and the buffet breakfast varied. The hotel restaurant is also a lovely spot for dinner but requires a reservation, as do most places in town actually. It gets busy, even in the off season.

Newly refurbished rooms a great breakfast and attentive staff made our stay worthwhile. Highly recommended.

A friendly hotel, distinguished by its staff, all ready to help. Well positioned for the rest of the city with many small cafes and restaurants nearby. We had an early start for the airport and were told we had to pay for our stay. Luckily we had kept the email from Expedia showing our payment so this was quickly sorted. Well be glad to stay here again.

The apartament was clean but small.and both beds very close together. It was situated on a very noisy street. The service ,however, at the reception was amazing and he went out of his way to have breakfast ready for us before the official hour of 7:30.

The location is great; right in the center of the town and close to everything, including restaurants. And although it's on a busy street, new windows keep the rooms quiet.

Property is centrally located and has competitive rates. Street noise could not be heard at night once the double glazed patio doors were closed and the air conditioning was efficient and quite.
