Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was in a really good location and close to many restaurants, shops and transport links. The room was decorated well and the amenities were good - really good shower with rainfall and detachable head! The staff were friendly and the breakfast buffet, whilst small, was tasty and topped up regularly. My only issue was with noise - I was at back of property so no street noise however the sound from other rooms above and beside did travel a lot. This is in a way understandable as an older building however as the rooms here are advertised as “soundproof”; this was louder than expected. Overnight this wasn’t too bad but maybe something to be aware of if you go to bed early or want a lie in! Overall though I would recommend for a trip to Lisbon; it’s vibe and closeness to transport and amenities was great.
