“Not for couples, good for a few nights only”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

person found this review helpful

I stayed there for 2 weeks with my boyfriend. We stayed in a double room, which was cleaned every day (no matter when we left; if it was late the maid called and asked if and when we want to get our room cleaned). I liked the hotel, but I have two main complaints. First of all, the beds were very uncomfortable and we were both waking up with pain in our backs. There was no double bed - there were actually 2 single beds put together and it was specially annoying because they were not glued/nailed to the floor and they were moving all the time.
My second complaint is the breakfast. There was practically nothing to choose from. They only had some bread rolls, small croissants (no filling), butter (with salt, the second week they also added butter without salt), 3 different jams, cornflakes (yes, just cornflakes, no oatmeal or anything else), ham and cheese. As for the drinks, they had juice and a coffee machine. And I just have to write something about that coffee machine, because it was a disaster. It had the following: coffee, white coffee (coffee with milk), cocoa, milk and hot water (tea: camomile and black tea). I love white coffee, so I tried it the first morning. It was absolutely disgusting. The second morning I tried cocoa. It didn't taste anything like cocoa and it was also disgusting. My boyfriend later told me that the coffee they used for the machine was not even made of coffee beans, but from something else that I don't remember the name of. Since it was a hotel and this kind of coffee is only popular in Portugal, I would expect it to be tourist-friendly and people should actually be able to drink the coffee that is made from coffee beans.
I didn't perticularly like their tea either (tasted differently), so I ended up buying my own tea and had it every morning. Bottom line is, I had to eat the exact same breakfast every single day - 2 or 3 croissants with either butter or jam with tea. I don't like cornflakes, I'm allergic to meat and I only eat about 3 different sorts of cheese. They could at least offer some fruit and yoghurt.
Another disappointing thing was that there was no fridge in the room. I didn't expect a big one, but it would be nice to have a small one just to put a couple of drinks in it. Luckily, they were kind enough to let us use the fridge at the reception, so that's a plus.
The internet was not free, but it was at least cheap (5eur for 24 hours), but it was very slow.

All in all, I recommend it only for a few nights and definitely not for couples. Overall, it's an average hotel with nice staff, except for one older guy at the reception, he was kind of slow with everything and needed a few moments to realize what we asked him (it was in Portuguese so it was not a language problem).

“great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2011

We had a very pleasant 4 night stay. We were in a newly refurbed room, 504. Basic but perfectly fine. It was very clean and the bed was very comfy and a smart bathroom. The location is great, 20 minutes walk into main Lisbon. The breakfast is very very basic, but the rolls although one type were fresh each day. I would deffinately recommend it. It's a great budget hotel with a budget breakfast in a great location. Check out the bistro at the bottom of the road, the food is really cheap and superb.

Our freinds didn't have a newly refurbed room, and yes they clean but a bit tired, so ask for a refurbed room when booking.

“Turistic place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2011

My wife and I stayed here 6 days - the room was small and basic but clean - the breakfast was lousy but the hotel is nicely situated near the Eduardo park and close to a metro station so OK for a holiday stay when you spend most of the time outside - the hotel is quiet during the night, so no noise to disturb your sleep.

“Sleeping in a closet”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2011

person found this review helpful

The double bedroom we had was the smallest room possible – apart from the (rather small) bed there is hardly room for a suitcase, let alone 2 suitcases and 2 persons. It is said to have 4 stars!!! But is definitely not worth more than 2. Bed is comfortable, although a bit hard, but that was the only good thing since we couldn’t get out of bed together; one after the other to the dirty bathroom, no room for a glas, no room to put your toothbrush, unless you don’t mind to use the lid on the toilet seat.

The breakfast would considered to be poor in a youth hostel – factory bread, chicory coffee, jelly, factory cheese and orange lemonade.

Let this be a warning – for about the same price per night we moved 2 doors to the Lisboa Central Park where we had the junior suite!

“Average hotel, ok location.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2010

We booked this hotel mostly for the breakfast terrace they mention in the hotel description - which turn out to be non-existant. Also the breakfast was awful (only one type of bread, one type of cheese and ham etc. The coffee didn't taste like coffee at all.. it was something in between lousy coffee and hot chocolate) The rooms were very small, yet tidy.
Our stay at this hotel was saved by an employee who was absolutely great! He was about 35-40 year-old guy. He was absolutely the friendliest employee at the hotel and he was extremely helpful, gave us great tips on what to see and how to get there.
The staff let us leave our bags there after check-in for the whole day.
Location was convenient, about 20 minutes walk from the city centre (city centre = Rossio & Restauradores metro station) and a metro station was close to the hotel but there weren't any good restaurants nearby so we had to go to this city centre every morning before we got breakfast.
The street was quiet and we didn't hear noise from other rooms.
