This hotel is established in a fantastic location, because it is not down town but the metro and bus stations are in front of the hotel. It is also in front of a big park and the view is beactiful. The service is really very good and the rooms are very confortable. I recommend this hotel and I believe for families is ideal because the children can play in this very big park. I was very lucky because during my stay Lisboa had festival, so I had the chance to hear a fados concert in this park. The view from my room was fantastic as I could see a very big part of the city (hill with the castle, as well as Tagos river, a bridge and the Jesus Statue).

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,)

My family stayed here one night because of it's proximity to the airport in Lisbon. Check in was a breeze, rooms were very clean and the night's stay included breakfast. The breakfast though for most would be considered brutal. I winced when I saw the scrambled eggs and sausages, the only real edibles were the breads. I also did not feel 100% safe in that neighborhood, alot of seedy-looking individuals around. Fortunately, there's a café right across the street that serves meals. Parking is also an issue around there. The night we stayed there was a family that arrived upstairs around 1 am and their children were yelling and jumping on the beds for a good 5 minutes - obviously I can't blame the hotel for this but it tarnished my overall impression.

This is not a fancy or central hotel, but it is one of my favorite hotels in Lisbon!
Access to public transportation: the Metro and bus station are litterally right outside the hotel door. You can catch the bus directly to the hotel for a very nominal fee.
Service: is friendly, helpful and courteous.
Rooms: are not spectacular, but they are functional, clean and moderately decorated.
Breakfast: is great, good selection and very abundant. The breakfst room is small and in the basement floor but it is pleasant and always dept clean.
There is a park directly across the street for that early morning walk just before breakfast.
Overall a good deal.
