I stayed in a one bedroom suite for three nights in October. I found this hotel to be superb in just about every way.
Its location is nice, although removed from the old town area. It is on a quiet residential street and while the Lisbon airport flightpath is nearby, I never heard any noise from jets in my room. As several have mentioned, it is steps away from the large Supermercado at El Corte Ingles, so stocking your apartment is easy. It is also steps from the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, a superb art museum that every visitor to Lisboa should see. I walked to old town and all around Lisboa, although you can easily catch the Metro if you would like to as there are two stations nearby.
The room itself was enormous by any standard you want to apply. It had a large living room with a flat panel TV and a dining table area with four chairs. The kitchen was bright and spacious. It had all utensils and supplies you would need. It had a full size refrigerator/freezer (full size European!), a cooktop, and a small oven. The bathroom had a tub/shower combo and was of average size. The bedroom was large with two full size beds in it and another flat panel TV.
The room was spotless and maid service was great. My rate included breakfast and the choces, while not as extensive as a good German buffet breakfast, were good and the meal was a nice way to start the day without cooking in your suite.
A couple of other notes. The rooms have wired (not wireless/wifi) internet access, free of charge with ports in the living room, bedroom, and bathroom. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful as well.
I would highly recommend staying here. It truly is one of te best apartment-style hotels I have ever stayed in, and with the rate I received for it (discounted heavily off of the rack rate), it was an absolute steal. Highly recommended!!
