Negatives: the location did look a little dodgy at night time, it is situated next to a park and local youths like to hang around there when it dark, although seemed harmless could be intimidating to some. it takes ten mins in the main lisbon square by taxi- but this cost around 12 euro each way , therefore only worth it late at night. otherwise, the train takes much longer, around 20-25 min [plus waiting] which can get tiring everyday.
Positives: lovely, friendly, honest and very helpful owners. rooms are basic, but u get what u pay for and they cleaned everyday, towels provided but chnaged once every 3 days. the bartender is also an acrobat and is absolutely hilarious- i went with my 2 other sisters and he kept us entertained every evening! amadora as a location not much to do, though v. close to sintra- which is a stunning place that everyone should visit, and of course, close to the heart of lisbon too. the restaurant/bar was small, though they are willing to adapt their menu to anything you fancy, it is a family owned business so everything is pretty liberal. you can hear trains in the morning, but we found that a good thing, as it helped wake us up! and it also on what side of the hotel you stay. The hotel is ideal for young travellers- in groups or individuals, though I would not recommend this for families or the elderly. lisbon itself an amazing place, though a lot pricier compared to other european countries. Coming from someone in her twenties- I recommend you visit Sintra for monastries/castles/palaces, Bairo Alto [for bars/clubs], Caschcai for the beaches, and Belem for arts/theatre/food.
