PENSÃO ELEGANTE (BARRA)

Fantastic find! Right in the heart of local eats and life. Very helpful and friendly staff. Lovely large room - be mindful sound carries as hardwood flooring throughout so if you have noisy neighbours you hear it. Can store luggage and water dispenser at reception.

I was pleasantly surprised by the experience, especially considering the price point. Here's a breakdown: Pros: - **Room Size**: Much more spacious compared to most hotels in Hong Kong, which was a big relief. - **Comfort**: The bed is on the firm side, but the pillows are incredibly soft, and the duvet felt new and fluffy, making for a comfortable sleep. - **Air Conditioning**: Worked perfectly, keeping the room cool and pleasant. - **Amenities**: The room was well-equipped with a toothbrush, comb, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, a water heater, a small wardrobe, a table and chair, and a hair dryer. - **Location**: Very close to a bus stop, making it easy to get around. Also, there are plenty of food options nearby, including convenient stores and non-halal food stalls (for those interested) . Cons: - **Toilet Size**: The toilet is quite small, designed for an average Asian build. If you’re taller or of European size, it might be a bit cramped—you may even need to bend your knees in certain positions. ### Additional Notes for Muslim Travelers: If you're looking for halal food, I highly recommend visiting **Indonesia Warong Amar Berkah**, a bus ride with fewer stops and few meters from the station you'll find the shop snuggle between pastry shops. The food there is delicious and a must-try, worth the price! Overall, **Pensão Elegante** offers great value for its price, with a strategic location and good amenities. Just be prepared for the small toilet and firm bed! Would definitely stay here again for a budget-friendly trip.

A place just 4 rest & 😴 1 nite is 👍 during weekend high peak period with cheaper tariff but only the linen is no problem, others all r under the standard.
