EPIC SANA Marquês Hotel

Av. Fontes Pereira de Melo, 8

The LodgeLens take

A possible fit if these trade-offs work for you

A well-located hotel with comfortable rooms, strong breakfast, attractive rooftop facilities and generally friendly service. The main compromises are variable room and bathroom condition, a small and potentially crowded rooftop pool, inconsistent service recovery, limited workspace, unreliable Wi-Fi evidence and price-sensitive value.

Worth checking: 10 of the 635 reviews in our sample contain a complaint about noise. See the evidence

7.2/10. Overall condition appears good but uneven: cleanliness receives strong praise, while a smaller set of supplied reviews documents dated fittings, worn or old rooms, plumbing defects and housekeeping omissions. The balance is positive, but the documented exceptions are material.

Supports the score
  • Supplied reviews frequently describe rooms and public areas as clean.
  • Several reviews describe rooms as well maintained.
  • Supplied photographs show orderly, intact-looking rooms and bathrooms, although photographs cannot establish actual cleanliness.
Pulls the score down
  • Some supplied reviews report dated furniture, worn bathrooms, hair, stains, incomplete replenishment and maintenance defects.

How we got to 5.0

Internet is listed as available, but direct evidence includes repeated Wi-Fi logouts and the stored corpus detects more complaints than praise. No speed tests or video-call evidence are supplied, so the overall assessment is moderate with limited certainty.

Supports the score
  • Internet service is listed among the hotel facilities.
  • One supplied review reports Wi-Fi access, though with repeated logouts.
Pulls the score down
  • A supplied review reports not receiving a Wi-Fi PIN and being repeatedly logged out.
  • Stored-corpus detection identifies 4 Wi-Fi/internet mentions, including 3 complaints; these are lower-bound counts, not prevalence estimates.
  • No measured speeds or direct evidence establishes suitability for video calls.

5/10: A desk is visibly present, but it appears narrow and the supplied evidence does not establish its dimensions, outlet access, seating ergonomics, or sustained usability.

How we got to 6.5

Overall, the evidence supports a real, 24-hour gym with varied visible equipment and multiple positive guest comments. The score is held below the top range because one recent guest documented unrepaired equipment and limited machine selection, while crowding and exact equipment capacity remain unknown.

Supports the score
  • The gym exists and is described by guests as operating 24 hours.
  • Supplied evidence shows dumbbells, benches and multiple resistance machines.
  • Several guests praised the gym, including its equipment and style.
Pulls the score down
  • One guest reported broken equipment, limited machine selection, a dark room and an uncomfortable environment.
  • Another guest said the facilities could be more extensive.
  • Equipment counts and actual availability cannot be verified from the supplied evidence.

Turn the findings into a better stay

Confirm these details before booking

Reviews and photos describe other people’s stays. The terms and room assigned to your reservation matter just as much.

For your reservation

  • Exact room category, bed arrangement and maximum occupancy; requests such as a high floor may not be guaranteed.
  • Total price for your dates, including taxes, service fees, breakfast and any deposit.
  • Cancellation deadline, payment timing and whether the rate is refundable.
  • Current opening hours, closures or extra charges for the facilities you need.

Questions raised by this hotel’s evidence

  • Which room locations are quietest, and can a quiet room be guaranteed?
  • Is the in-room Wi-Fi currently reliable for video calls, and is a recent speed test available?
  • How many loungers and shaded places are available around the rooftop pool?
  • Does the shower have a full glass door, and is there a separate bathtub?

How this page was made

We hold 635 reviews for this property and analyzed 635 reviews across 8 languages. Text matching and AI interpretation can miss nuance, sarcasm or translations. Repeated experiences, larger samples and independent sources are more useful than a single vivid quote.

Quotes, however, are only ever drawn from the 304 English reviews. Machine-translating a guest’s sentence would change their original wording.

We count mentions using text patterns. Complaints can come from a reviewer’s “disliked” field or negative wording in their review. These counts describe the reviews we hold, not the proportion of all guests who experienced an issue. “Recent” means the last 730 days.

Scores, section explanations and photo descriptions come from a model reading the source material using AI, last run 10 October 2026. Published photos may be old, staged or incomplete; AI cannot measure a room or verify a facility is currently open. Nearby places are mapped within 1500 m; walking times are estimates, not checked routes. Prices are observations for sample dates and will move.

We link to a review or its source page when an address is available. Source, rating, and month accompany quotes to help you locate them. Some links open a collection of reviews rather than the individual quote.
