My stay at Solar Do Castelo was good, with a prime location near the historic Castelo de São Jorge. The charming courtyard with peacocks was a unique touch, adding to the beauty of the hotel. However, the room was a bit small and soundproofing between rooms could use improvement, as I overheard some noisy neighbors one night.
