Amazingly friendly and helpful staff, let us store our bags on the last day so we could explore and come back after check out before leaving for our flight. We had an early morning tour one day and they offered to start breakfast half an hour earlier for us. Great at making recommendations and if you need their assistance with anything, changing reservations etc. Room was great for what we needed. Comfortable and roomy and well equipped

The location was very convenient for getting around. The property was rated at 9.6 on your site, but there is no way this should have been rated that high. It should be in the 8’s. The room was small, the breakfast was minimal, and when they fixed a breakfast to go, they were terrible.

4 nights in Lisbon.

Really friendly hosts. Stay away from the overpriced patio restaurants on the block. Overpriced and cater to the cruise ships. Very small room. But nice clean sheets and towels everyday. It’s reasonably located to a lot of things and there is a subway nearby. Belem is definitely a ways but we truly spent one morning there. The area around the hotel was much more interesting. Only did breakfast once but it was good. A lot of choices but simple.

Located close to all the nightlife in the Alfama district. Maybe a bit too close to the cruise ship terminal. Front desk very helpful, AC in my room very good. The breakfast was bla, just cold stuff with horrible coffee. The coffee in the lobby is really good.
