Hotel close to areas of interest. On booking should have mentioned stairs and not suitable for anyone with mobility issues… to reception 12 steps, from reception to first floor to get lift was 28 steps. Lift broke down once and had to walk down stairs from 4th floor. This prevented me on going out on occasions as I couldn’t face returning to have to go up 40 steps. The staff, cleaners and breakfast were wonderful. But due to my arthritis this hotel was a huge challenge.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel location is good. Main issue is that although property has a lift you have to climb 2 flights of stairs to get to it. I think this should be made clear when booking. We specifically booked a hotel with a lift as climbing stairs is difficult, Also room only had 1 electrical plug so we had to take turns charging devices. Finally the internet did not work on the last day.

Great location - central without being noisy. Not a good view from window at all (internal courtyard) but not a problem for us. More expensive rooms will have a better (street) view. Room clean and comfortable although missing a few convenient things like easily accessible plug sockets and hooks in the bathroom. Have stayed once before 2 years ago and would probably stay again although it would be nice to see it updated just a little. Not accessible for anyone severely disabled as there are stairs to access the first floor and reception, although there is then a small lift to access upper floors from there.

Great location, off the tourist track, yet minutes from all one wants to see in old Lisboa. Can't beat the location. Our room was "city view" - looked onto derelect buildings, but that's what made it quiet. Anyway, the views were right around the corner - sights of old Lisboa, monuments, churches, walk or cable cars, cafes, restaurants - loved walking everywhere. Put your cell phone down and just walk!

No plug for tub, 1 of 2 shower doors missing, a/c sounded like a small engine. Very noisy. The bright spot was reception, very welcoming and location great for getting around.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful, making us feel welcome throughout our visit. We were delighted with the beautiful view from our balcony, which added a special touch to our overall experience. The only downside was the absence of a "Do Not Disturb" sign, which unfortunately led to my partner being woken up by room service while he was unwell. Despite this minor inconvenience, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this hotel.

We had a good stay here. The building is older, but lots of character and good location. The staff was lovely and breakfast was great!

Stay was good, but the place is old and could use some renovation. No elevators.

Room very different from those displayed on website - dark, small window and very little floor space. Constant smell of old and damp. Room was also quite loud, and we could hear people as they walked past the room. We were woken up one night by another room coming back. The bathroom had no windows, and the shower hot/cold signals were the wrong way around. The hotel also had a lot of stairs, some unavoidable - certainly not accessible to those with any disabilities/children. The room had very good air con, keeping it cool. The room was also cleaned each day, with fresh towels.

The first impression when walking into this hotel was the overwhelming perfume smell. It burned our eyes. It was so strong. Secondly, the rooms were about the size of a dorm room, and the beds were as hard as a rock. Our room smelled OK, but the other party with us had a sewer smell the whole stay. Other hotels we stayed at in Portugal had some kind of a common room where you could hang out or play cards… This hotel kicked us out of the breakfast nook area, which was really the only place with chairs, so that was disappointing. I really considered taking a loss and finding any other hotel in Lisbon to stay.

Great, very helpful staff at the reception. Excellent location - easy for Uber pick up - parking lot an opposite the entrance, easy for trams, metro and plenty of dining options. Very clean, nice breakfast, relatively quiet (mind you are in the middle of the city). There are a few flights of stairs before you get to the lift, so not very suitable for people with reduced mobility. But great experience overall and definitely would stay again.

The rooms were all very unique. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff really stood out! The breakfast they delivered to our room was excellent! It is located up a steep hill but it’s near the university and has wonderful views.

NIGHTMARE… Over booked the hotel, didn’t tell us till we arrived that they had moved us to their sister hotel. Reception told us it was a the “nicer” hoteo but as we later found out the room is a closet, maybe a foot all around the bed and a window that looks right at a wall. The room we had booked we payed extra for an upgraded city view and was a good sized room. No one was very helpful in fixing the issue. They are hoping there’s “maybe” a better room tomorrow but we were not offered any compensation in the meantime. I am not normally a complainer but in all the hotels I’ve ever stayed in I have never had this happen, not to mention when I book months in advance. Not a great way to be welcomed to a new city and hotel. Also it is quite disappointing I wasn’t notified of this sooner when I could have canceled and rebooked, it feels like that was an intentional decision as now almost all hotels in area are booked and we are stuck with our closet.
