We booked this place expecting it to be a bit rough, considering it's located right on the edge of the boozy part of Torrenova, and it seems to be half hostel, half hotel from what we could tell. Driving back there in the evening was a funny affair, with drunken people falling about everywhere on the main road...But the great thing was, just before reaching the hotel, the hoards of drunken people suddenly subsided, and actually, once you park up, enter your room, and shut the door, it's just like any other basic, but clean and generally nice hotel. Think slightly "weathered" travelodge. The streets immediately surrounding the hotel are surprisingly quiet considering what's located 300ft up the road...It's kinda like an invisible force field holding them all back. Parking is limited (it's all meters really), but I asked the hotel owner if he had any spaces, and he does have a few down the side of the building, which we were able to park in every night (I'm guessing most people that stay there don't drive). For the price, I have no complaints.
