I really enjoyed my stay. It is located near a metro stop , so easily reachable from airport and easy 20 minute walk to water. Adrian at front desk is kind and helpful. The room was immaculately clean, the water hot and water pressure great. The neighborhood is vibrant with excellent food choices. I highly recommend this guesthouse and will stay there again if i return to Lisbon.
For a 3-star accommodation it exceeded expectations. Clean, comfortable bed, friendly staff. All good. Be aware the neighborhood may not be what you expect but I never felt unsafe.
An excellent guesthouse which is absolutely spotless. Super fast WiFi (150mb), Cable Channels in English as well as Portuguese. Also about a 2 minute walk to the nearest Metro Station (Indente). Tram 28 stops at the Metro Station as well. Loads of restaurants and shops nearby as well 10/10!!

Overall, it was as advertised. The hostel itself was great, room was spacious, but the building itself it’s a tad older and there’s a bar underneath and it can get loud.

The guesthouse is a group of rooms in an older apartment building located in slightly rough neighborhood. The entrance requires a key code of which I was not advised. The reception area is on the second (first in Europe) floor again behind a locked door. You must ring a doorbell to be let in. Access TV the guest rooms themselves again requires a keycode that you're given at check in.
The building is not accessible, there is no elevator, and the stairs are narrow and steep.
I booked a small room with twin bed, with access to a shared bathroom. The room was clean but cheaply furnished. The mattress was very hard. Air conditioning was good.
The shared bathroom is large and has toilet, lavatory, and shower. The shower is small. Hot water is VERY slow to arrive. There are no shelves, benches, or tables on which to place toiletries or linens.
At the price, it was acceptable, but barely. I can't recommend this for anyone but fit, adventurous travelers.
Nice welcoming at arrival, friendly staff, spacious room with TV, fridge and AC. The room was cleaned every day by the staff and was always tidy. Great location, close to many good restaurants and about 30 minutes walk to the ocean.
We enjoyed our stay! The location was very convenient to the Metro Station (Green Line-Intendente stop). There are good restaurants in the area. The room was very clean, and the staff was great! We would stay here again!
The room was perfect for what I needed
I visited during the nationwide power cut in Portugal and staff were very kind and helpful. I was quite stressed when I arrived so it was very appreciated
We stayed for 3 days and were very happy with our stay. Bruno and the rest of the staff (did not catch their names) were so helpful and nice they really made our stay comfortable. Would stay here again. The hotel was quiet and very conveniently located.
Check-in experience was great. Each time we met a friendly staff nember.
We took room with private bathroom, which was very useful, though it costs more.
Hotel is conveniently located near Green Metro line as well as to Tram 28. ALFAMA district is at walkable distance of 20-25 mins
The street and area in general has many Bangladesi and other immigrants owned restaurants and gricery stores. Street stays busy at least till 11pm and sometimes may have bit shady and homeless people on it, but we didn't feel unsafe walking late to our hotel. Overall hotel is decent.
