Aparthotel Calema Avenida Jardim

Knew where this apartment was located as I have been to Monte Gordo many times, so no surprises. We were able to check in early and the room was available immediately. Clean and tidy on arrival. Staff were very helpful and were great when Portugal locked down due to Covid-19; although reception staff in masks and surgical gloves was a bit disconcerting but understandable. Communal areas were nice and clean although given the circumstances we didn’t use them.

The room was a little tired but perfectly comfortable and suited our needs. We were on the shady side so got no sun on the huge balcony, but we didn’t ask to move. Could have done with a toaster, oven and a chopping board but otherwise adequately equipped. No complaints to be honest as we got what we paid for. Would certainly go back.

It's not the most modern building in town, but it's still comfortable et very practical. As it was mid January and the hotel wasn't busy, I was kindly upgraded from a studio to a 1 room appartement.

Street side is a bit noisy, as glassdoors let noise go through.

The staff were very friendly

Cockroaches in the room but we were on the ground floor but then we moved to a room on the first floor where there were no cockroaches. Staff were very helpful and prompt to rectify the situation.
