Spent 2 nites at less than E50 pn which included a good variety for breakfast. I have posted some pictures which speaks a hundred words. Yes reviews about the scrambled eggs looking watery, plain looking tasteless sausages are spot on but the variety of breads, cereals should be a compensating factor. If you did not include a breakfast package the cafe just opposite the hotel should offer you a rich variety of pastry including the famed Portugese egg custard.
The room are comforable enough and spacious and there were hardly much noise as the windows are double -glazed. The air con could be a tard noisy and there is always this option of opening the window.
More positives than negatives and even if the decor at lobby looks tired, these are compensated by cosy tables to have a cup of coffee or tea.
Yes, i would also compliment front desk for their helpfulness including booking a taxi to airport which costs less than E6.70 per trip.
The location of being next to the Metro (Almeida) is a big plus for getting to Belem (note the trains do not go to Belem and you have to get out of the Metro to tram up to Belem.
Free internet access at lobby if you do not have your iphone or ipad to surf.
OKAY look at my pictures and decide for yourself if it is worth E50 a nite (rates depending on internet offer and dates etc,)
