The Ivens, Autograph Collection

房間空間足夠也很衛生，可以打開陽台門但不能出去。服務也不錯，只是地理位不算很方便。以這價錢，應該有更多更好選擇。我下次應該不會再住。

不錯，評價過了

We chose the Ivens because of its location and we are so glad that we did. The hotel is lovely, with comfortable rooms, a great restaurant and lovely staff. If you stay there, take advantage of the breakfast, it is delicious. We highly recommend this hotel.

We loved our stay at the hotel. The service was great. We enjoyed dinner at the Gastrobar in Rocco. The interior of the hotel and restaurant transport you to a special world away from the city. Our favorite part was being able to explore the city and hop back to the hotel when we needed a break from all the hills!

This is a beautiful hotel. Very first class, elegantly decorated, in a perfect location, and priced accordingly. We reserved a suite, and it was gorgeous. They wanted to upgrade us to a “signature suite,” but we preferred the suite we’d reserved—higher ceilings, two bathrooms—a real luxury—and a roomier feel. We weren’t impressed with the partial river view or the balcony in the “signature.” The staff couldn’t have been nicer. The hotel is heavily scented, but they happily made our bed with non-perfumed linens when we requested it. They also left us goodies and port every night, which was an extra treat. Breakfast was lovely, but it’s all or nothing, a whopping 38 euros with no option for a continental breakfast. That’s a really expensive piece of toast.

Location - The property is an iconic pink building in the heart of the city centre and located along the hilly slopes of the city. It seems it has an interesting history of being a former radio station as well as home to the first luxury warehouse in the city in the XIX century as well as of the first Portuguese public, which could explain its really quaint design. Room - My room at 22SqM was really cosy but looks exactly like it is in pics - 2pax would definitely be a squeeze though in that space. The narrow walkway is an easy indication of the limited space to come. They did still managed to fit a small wardrobe, safe, and small fridge with some shelving space to the right of the entrance way which I thought was quite impressive. There was a cute tote bag but I wasn't sure if it was for taking or stay-use only so left it alone. As a Bonvoy Elite (Platinum and above), the mini bar comes complimentary which I thought was quite generous even though it excluded the vodka and champagne - beers and snacks sound good enough! Breakfast - breakfast is served at Rocco from 6:30am-10:30am and is a semi buffet style where you pick a main with a small buffet laid out. It did take a while for the staff to bring me the menu which I thought was weird as I was only the 4th occupied table there. I selected the Avocado Toast with creamed spinach and disappointed to report that it was not good - they didn't even have real avocados in the dish but just avocado cream which I didn't expect from a property at this price point. Coffee was kind of weak too. [Full review and pics on Satu Kosong Travels]
