Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Tipografia Do Conto charms guests with its beautiful design, bold architecture, and colorful details, particularly in lounge areas, the outside courtyard, the pool, and the dining area. The spacious rooms contribute to a comfortable stay, and some guests specifically appreciated the two-bedroom apartments located across from the main building, featuring amenities like a kitchen, two bathrooms, and a balcony. While the hotel is located a 15-minute walk from the city center, it's also conveniently close to a bus stop and metro; some guests have noted that rooms are not well soundproofed. The breakfast stands out for its curated, fresh selection, including omelettes made on the spot, and it can be enjoyed on the lush garden terrace.

The breakfast offered a lovely buffet style selection , but it was curated. Everything felt fresh and intentional , with homemade touches like almond and peanut butter. Eggs were prepared on the spot. The bar was equally stylish.

Rooms are not well soundproofed , and I could hear conversations from reception. Guests in the hallway were audible. The window faces the hallway.

The design was beautiful. The garden, bar, and common areas had fine beauty.

The rooms lacked proper soundproofing. I could hear conversations from reception and other guests. This was very disruptive at night. It negatively impacted my stay.
