Residencial Ferrinho — Hotel in Guarda

My boyfriend and I were traveling around Portugal during the Christmas holidays and we needed a place to stop over for a night on our way to Porto. The hostel was a fine place to spend the night. It was clean near to the center of Guarda. However, I have two main complaints. One being the wifi and the other being the customer service. The Wifi was not reliable. I'm pretty certain that after a certain point in the night the owners turn off the Wifi and turn it back on again in the morning.

The only thing we could ask for more in a very good price-quality relation is a better and more varied breakfast: not a difficult thing to do, would not cost much more to the hotel, and would improve very much the likelihood of people coming...

Guarda is an ugly place one should avoid. It seems that this province center is popular place for groups accommodation, since they get low prices just for nights sleep. Ferrinho hotel is one of these economy hotel that serves just for that purpose.
