Guest review summary
What guests liked
The property is located near many great restaurants and bars, making dining convenient and enjoyable. (17 reviews)
Breakfast was simple but good and delicious, with adequate options available. (9 reviews)
Air conditioning worked well and was a helpful feature during cold weather. (6 reviews)
The location was ideal for us, it was close to everything we wanted to see but not on the busy main strip. The front entrance locked at night requiring a room key to get in, which made us feel very safe. The staff was very helpful and kind as well.

The hotel has a great location and clean and very well maintained. However, the one at the front desk does not speak a word of english so it was hard for us to understand each other plus the hallway because my room is in the 2nd building was so dark and creepy.

We stayed in this studio for just one night before our trip to Lisbon, and I must say it's a great location. It's easy to find, check-in took just minutes, and the door to our studio opened right in front of us. Everything is very clean, the kitchen has everything you need, the bed is large and comfortable, and the bathroom is large and clean. From the window, you can see the small restaurants below. When you exit the building, there's a wonderful little cafe downstairs with excellent pastries and fantastic coffee, and everything is affordable. All the sights are within walking distance because the hotel is located right in the center. Everything was great, and the 9.2 rating is absolutely right.

This property has lots of stairs and no handrails. Booked a studio unit and it had an elevator to that floor but still had several steps to negotiate before reaching the elevator. Room was large but floor in kitchen buckling, handle missing in shower, not many places to hang towels in bathroom. It did have a good A/C unit and nice bedding. Staff was also extremely helpful in helping us navigate the stairs with our luggage. Location was near a bustling area with many bars and restaurants.

Our Studio suite was huge and very clean and the location was great within walkable distance to all the museums and attractions and far enough away from the large crowds by the river.
There was a nice patio area in front of the hotel with 6 different restaurants to dine at including a lovely bakery. Staff were accommodating and pleasant. Great spot.
