The hotel is situated near to the bullring and a 5 min walk from the metro, buy a day ticket which gives you unlimited travel on the tubes and buses for 24 hrs, save your ticket and you can reload it the next day saving an additional 50 cents. Also less than 10 mins to main station where you can catch train for Sintra.
We took a taxi from the airport, we were at the hotel in 10 mins and the cost was just over 8 euros, going back there is a taxi rank around the corner where we found there were always a few cabs.
Hotel bar is fine and we were on a deal that included breakfast. We found this fine, there were scrambled eggs (very good), sausages and bacon every day, pastries and jams, fruit cocktail, cereals, yoghurt and juices and hot drinks. We were happy with the selection and you can eat as much as you like.
The rooms are a little dated but comfortable and clean. First night we had noisy neighbours who got up very early but apart from that was ok. You can hear aircraft during the day but I think this is probably the same all over Lisbon.
Would have liked a kettle in the room but not sure if this is usual in Lisbon as last time we went there was not one either. Yes you have to pay for Wi Fi but we popped into Starbucks each day downtown (They are open late) and they have free Wi Fi.
As a base to explore Lisbon and surrounding areas I would recommend this hotel.

I booked it for 6 nights, room only for a quite good price,
GOOD POINTS- clean, transportation nearby, close to city(in 10 min. you get to rossio, 15 min to belem) , and just around the corner you can find a local cafe with good prices for your breakfast even lunches

BAD POINTS- need to pay for parking and wi-fi , old and noisy air con, had to wait for the lift more than 5 minutes everyday in the morning because the housekeepers goes up and down with their trolleys so you end up sharing the same lift (when there is space) or wait until is free.
Old tv and the remote control wasn`t working.

This hotel is what it is: Low budget hotel in the centre of the city. It is in need of a major face lift but it’s clean and comfortable and less than 5 minutes walk from The Bullring.
There is some noise as you would expect form a hotel so close to the airport, train station and subway in such a big and vibrant city, but we never found it to be a problem.

The hotel was room only, but if you wish to purchase breakfast that will set you back 7 Euros we only had breakfast once and found it cold and not very good value for money. Likewise evening dinner is also served but we gave this a miss and chose to eat out.

The rooms have telephone, TV, bathroom with shower, hairdryer and free use of the safe in the rooms. The bedding and the towels were changed every day and the cleaner did a very good job.

Getting about, we used one of the open top busses for 2 days until we got our bearings and after that it was public busses or walking. The 2 day pass for the open top bus was 15 Euros each.

Places well worth visiting are: Belem Tower, The Cathedral at Baixa, Castelo St Jorge and the carriage museum. If you don’t do anything else you must visit Sintra and the Palace of Pena although this is not recommended for anyone who has walking difficulties as it’s quite steep.

Lisbon is a great city with lots to see and do, well worth visiting.

It was old hotel -clean but you cant sleep at night because sounds & noise of cars.you should pay for Internet.breakfast was very good but you should pay separately.staff was nice.very good location just 15 min to airport by car and 30 min to city center by walking.all of that it was very ordinary.
