The staff and hotel are very good.
The area is very provincial, “hood”, and its residents are just living their lives 👍
The hotel location is EXCELLENT for quickly getting to ANYPLACE you want or need to be 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The rooms were all very unique. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff really stood out! The breakfast they delivered to our room was excellent! It is located up a steep hill but it’s near the university and has wonderful views.
Great hotel in a very central location. For the price the room was great and I felt very safe there on my own. There was always someone on reception I’d I needed them and they let me into my room early which I was very happy with. Easy to get to the metro in about 3 mins.
We had to change rooms cause of water kek as courtesy they comes us doing a bag of laundry
Room to store luggage in between stays was convenient, staff friendly and helpful,

Great location, off the tourist track, yet minutes from all one wants to see in old Lisboa. Can't beat the location. Our room was "city view" - looked onto derelect buildings, but that's what made it quiet. Anyway, the views were right around the corner - sights of old Lisboa, monuments, churches, walk or cable cars, cafes, restaurants - loved walking everywhere. Put your cell phone down and just walk!
Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful, making us feel welcome throughout our visit. We were delighted with the beautiful view from our balcony, which added a special touch to our overall experience. The only downside was the absence of a "Do Not Disturb" sign, which unfortunately led to my partner being woken up by room service while he was unwell. Despite this minor inconvenience, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this hotel.
Great, very helpful staff at the reception. Excellent location - easy for Uber pick up - parking lot an opposite the entrance, easy for trams, metro and plenty of dining options. Very clean, nice breakfast, relatively quiet (mind you are in the middle of the city). There are a few flights of stairs before you get to the lift, so not very suitable for people with reduced mobility. But great experience overall and definitely would stay again.
Great location to Metro, bus and train and old part of city. Lots of eateries and shopping. Loved all the outdoor cafes.
Great breakfast. Friendly staff. Elevator starts on 2nd floor so a few stairs coming up. Staff will help. Would return.
No plug for tub, 1 of 2 shower doors missing, a/c sounded like a small engine. Very noisy. The bright spot was reception, very welcoming and location great for getting around.

Hotel close to areas of interest. On booking should have mentioned stairs and not suitable for anyone with mobility issues… to reception 12 steps, from reception to first floor to get lift was 28 steps. Lift broke down once and had to walk down stairs from 4th floor. This prevented me on going out on occasions as I couldn’t face returning to have to go up 40 steps. The staff, cleaners and breakfast were wonderful. But due to my arthritis this hotel was a huge challenge.
A very friendly and helpful staff, basic hotel but well situated for the centre of Lisbon and easy to get around. Metro station Rossio close by and journey to airport by metro was 35 minutes. The hotel reception was reached by a flight of stairs and a further flight of stairs to the access lift for rooms above. Breakfast was continental at 8 euros each and plentiful. A bagage room is available to leave suitcases on departure days.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel location is good. Main issue is that although property has a lift you have to climb 2 flights of stairs to get to it. I think this should be made clear when booking. We specifically booked a hotel with a lift as climbing stairs is difficult, Also room only had 1 electrical plug so we had to take turns charging devices. Finally the internet did not work on the last day.
Great budget location for town and all the sights.
Excellent service - we have stayed here before but the warm welcome was definitely appreciated. Lovely room, outstanding view of the castle hill. Room well presented. Only issue was the shower dial which sticks out of the wall by 10cm at just below face height which my friend fell onto after slipping in the shower which gave her a nasty black eye. It was partly her fault for being clumsy but also probably not the best design especially in a hotel. I would definitely stay here again but just take more care in the shower!
Great location - central without being noisy.
Not a good view from window at all (internal courtyard) but not a problem for us. More expensive rooms will have a better (street) view.
Room clean and comfortable although missing a few convenient things like easily accessible plug sockets and hooks in the bathroom. Have stayed once before 2 years ago and would probably stay again although it would be nice to see it updated just a little.
Not accessible for anyone severely disabled as there are stairs to access the first floor and reception, although there is then a small lift to access upper floors from there.
They did not have Hair conditioner or bar soap, no glass or coffee accessories in the room, no small amenities in bathroom, no Kleenex, q-tips, in room only one chair. Breakfasts were substandard, nothing hot, no toaster, pastries not so good since there is fabulous pastries in Portugal. The elevator was tiny, no mention of 2 flights of walk up before lobby. Staff was pretty helpful with maps directions and taxis.
However, very centrally located to see a lot of the important sights.
Room very different from those displayed on website - dark, small window and very little floor space. Constant smell of old and damp. Room was also quite loud, and we could hear people as they walked past the room. We were woken up one night by another room coming back. The bathroom had no windows, and the shower hot/cold signals were the wrong way around. The hotel also had a lot of stairs, some unavoidable - certainly not accessible to those with any disabilities/children.
The room had very good air con, keeping it cool. The room was also cleaned each day, with fresh towels.
