This property is really old and although it was clean, there was a strange smell in my room I couldn’t get past. The room had no ac or heater and it felt damp/humid. My sheets always felt damp as if they hadn’t properly dried before they put them on. Aside from that; the bed was comfortable and clean, the room was clean, check in and out was easy. The location is really the selling point especially for the price.

Stayed overnight here and enjoyed the location. It is a safe place to stay and the rooms are comfortable. Right in the centre of the hustle and bustle of the old town.

Pros- excellent location (near many attractions, restaurants, taxi pick-up, etc.) -clean -excellent price for where it’s located Cons- noisy at night (primarily garbage trucks etc. at 4:00 AM as opposed to crowd noise) - strange bathroom setup. I’m a tall guy (6’2”) and it was very difficult to use the shower. I can’t even describe the strange floor to the shower (I wish I took a pic). There was like a little faucet sticking out at the bottom that I constantly banged my heel into, plus the area to stand was so small you stood over the drain blocking it (there were like different levels to the shower floor but you could only really stand on one of them, weird!) -no hangers in the closet -no real ventilation (it rained one day I was in Lisbon and my cloths were soaked. After two days hanging in my hotel room they were still wet). A small portable fan would have been a godsend. Would I be willing to stay there again? Probably, but I would definitely check to see what else available too.

The price was perfect since I only wanted a place to sleep and shower that was central to what i wanted to do in Lisbon. I had a room with a private bathroom but you could also go cheaper and have a room without. There is an elevator which I appreciated. There is a code to enter the front door as there is not always someone at the front desk. This is a basic accomodation but perfect for the price.

Curry nights!
Great location but the place is old and has no ac no ventilation, if you open de window a very strong and intolerable smell of curry from a nearby restaurant will came into the room, my only choice was to sleep with the window close, my nigh was horrible I felt like was in a sauna. I do not recommend to anyone.

loved my stay! :p my friend and i are traveling on a budget and this hotel was honestly a perfect stay for what we needed. only two nights in lisbon and it worked perfectly. no toilet in our individual room, however we had a shower and sink. no AC in our room :( but we left the widows cracked and it felt perfectly fine. even got a little chilly. it’s in a good place to walk around and find shops, sight see, and go only about 30 minutes by foot away from viewpoints. great location especially if you’re willing to just walk around and see the beauty of lisbon. also the staff were great, spoke pretty good english and was very helpful.

Stayed at this hotel for one night during my 24 hour layover in Lisbon, and I would definitely stay again considering the price and location. Room was a bit outdated, no AC, and shower leaked a little when you used it. Very nice sheets and towels, and comfortable bed made up for the things not so good. Very nice, and helpful front desk person was extremely pleasant. If you’re on a budget and want a good location, definitely stay here!

Appropriately described
Decent stay. Noisy around the area as it’s pretty centralized. No ac. No bathroom in room. There is a shower but no toilet. There was only two plugs in the room. One in the shower area and one in the bedroom. Staff was nice. Easy check in. Vending machines downstairs if you’re desperate and want something quick. Overall a good stay.

Good location at Centre City. Staff ok but made no effort to provide basic tourist info such as ATM's locations and metro services. For eg. no city or metro maps provided. English was limited.

They won't give me my refund I'm owed for the second night...it's been a week when most hotels post refunds right away.... and were not even open at front desk when I was supposed to check in but expected me to haul luggage somewhere else to check and haul it back when their front desk was supposed to be open. Pitiful.
Response from Rui on May 12, 2023
Dear Guest, You were never at the property, remember? We sent you a message on how to check in and you wrote back "Please refund tonight's rate as I had to return home early and completely forgot about this reservation."

Never experienced the hotel charging the customer for a packet of shampoo until I stayed at this hotel. We ran out of toilet paper two nights out of three. Gave us only one hand towel for two of us each day.

Great location
Great location right in the centre to Lisbon. Reception open for check in 1100-1900 (then it shuts). Good wifi. We had a toilet and bathroom in the room, The bottom of the shower was old and could have been a little cleaner. Noisy with the buns being collected at 0045 each morning: take earplugs.

Clean, convenient, great place to spend a night or two for someone who really only needs a place to sleep and shower. Not a luxury property but great for affordable and basic accommodations. I got a room with a bathroom can’t speak to the shared bathroom situation. Very close to Rossio metro stop. One or two minute walk.

Disliked: Amenities
Very basic room with shower & sink - shared toilet down the hall (kind of a pain but it was pretty clean and never saw anyone else using it). On a fairly busy street so had to keep the windows shut. But the location was really close to the Rossi train station, metro & buses. The staff hours were a little weird - no one staffing till 11am which was annoying since I needed to leave luggage for the day.

The rooms were probably at least 10 degrees hotter than outside/ the hallway. We kept the window open the entire stay and we could barely sleep even with it open. There is a private shower in the room but it was clogged and dirty. The beds were clean. This was really close to anything you would want to see/ do but the extreme heat that we had to endure was unbearable.

Happy for the Price
Very central/convenient to everything. Chosen for its inexpensiveness and I think I got more than what I had booked in terms of room facilities (Basin, shower, but just shared toilet). Didnt expect the shower. Double bed. Great for the price
