An exceptional location, walking distance to many attractions, and an abundance of public transportation options all around. A great selection of restaurants too. A spacious room, with a huge bathroom and a large shower. Quiet, full of light, yet with efficient blackout curtains. Room cleaning was very good. A/C worked well, and hot water never ran out. Wi-Fi worked very well. The complimentary breakfast is very plain and not varied, but it's a valid option for a quick bite and a cup of coffee to start your day without having to delay for a breakfast search. A 24/7 reception, although the night shift is staffed by a security guard. I arrived late from the airport and he was really accommodating and checked me in quickly. Staff seemed to get along just fine speaking English.
The water pressure in the shower was not satisfactory. The TV menu was stuck on French, and I couldn't seem to change it or operate the TV remote in general. It wasn't crucial for me because I used my phone for streaming, but the one time I got curious about the TV, it was not a welcoming experience.

The hotel was in an excellent location, near the metro, buses and trams. There were lots of restaurants, bars and shops within walking distance. The hotel was small with only 21 rooms but the staff were exceedingly helpful and friendly. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was perfectly adequate with lots of nice pastries and sliced fresh fruit.
The room was rather small with little storage space. As there were two of us staying for five nights. It would have been nice to have a larger wardrobe and a larger table to accommodate all our things. Also, there were no tea and coffee making facilities in the room and no proper coffee machine at breakfast, just a flask to keep the coffee warm! However, we were grateful to be regularly provided with bottles of water to keep is cool during the very hot weather!

My son and I stayed there and were glad to stay in a clean room in a good location. It was quiet enough and that was lovely. Some of the staff were friendly and gave us bottled water whenever we asked.
My daily breakfast was fine and the staff was kind enough to try to accommodate my gluten-free (dairy-free) request, which I appreciated. However, the same package of GF bread each morning was not sufficient. I was not able to find anything to eat other than fruit and tea.

The location of the hotel is great — many attractions are within walking distance. The staff are extremely nice — it's a real pleasure to stay at the hotel. The room was modest and very clean, but had everything you needed.
Breakfast is very basic. There are two types of cheese and ham, as well as some sweets and fruit. It's very modest. I suggest staying in the hotel but not taking breakfast.

Location, room, and the most important: friendly, helpful personnel.
To have egg products (omlette, boiled eggy) for breakfast.

Nice clean, welcoming property. Nice room, staff were lovely & helpful. Great shower. Breakfast good. Really enjoyed sitting outside under umbrellas. Nice to have free tea/coffee.
Room 206 looked out on a huge amount of rubbish dumped, cardboard, plastics & clam shells. Mentioned it to reception. Following day, a small truck appeared, took a picture & cleared up. But clam shells not cleared or area hosed or scrubbed. However, rubbish/litter is a general problem everywhere in Lisbon. But don’t want to see it outside my room window.

Staff were really helpful and knowledgeable, facilities were good and the location was perfect for exploring the city. Breakfast selection was as expected as continental spread and replenished quickly. Room was very clean and refreshed daily.
There wasn’t anything we didn’t like but a few minor improvements recommended- the breakfast room was fairly small with a muted atmosphere, also the wall needed washing down from drinks splashes (fair side or the room on the right), only 2 of the 4 sliced toaster worked and ideally all the tables to be set with cutlery. Location was great but it was a little noisy at night but that wasn’t unexpected.

Great location in the historic Alfama, next to the José Saramago Foundation, and close to special restaurants serving fantastic food and drinks. The extremely friendly and helpful staff, the tasty breakfast, and the whole provided service have met our expectations.
Our room was a bit small but cosy, viewing the inner small yard and exterior staircase, which turned out to be an advantage.

Breakfast was a buffet with cold selection of bread (toast), croissants, pastries, fruit, cheese, cold meat and cereals. Good start to the day! The staff were good at suggesting places to visit, and part of the hotel has a tile workshop selling a variety of tiles and ceramics hand painted on site. You can also join a workshop. Recommend a river view room. It’s a good location, quiet at night, and right at the foot of the Alfama area where you can explore all the wee side streets.
