Overall Ratings & Reviews The Indy House by LovelyStay

The Indy has done a good job of providing modern accommodations while keeping the old-world charm of the original building. The location is close to the Intendente station and there are a number of really good cafe's and restaurants in the area

It was a clean, quiet and cozy room we stayed in for 6 nights. It was a walking distance to metro, supermarket and restaurants. However, it would be great if we could have a basic appliance such as an electric kettle for tea/ coffee, so we could start the day and end our evening more pleasantly without being have to go shopping for it every single time we needed one.

The air conditioner was broken and would only heat up the room, even though the listing said that there is an AC. Additionally, the room is tiny and quite loud, you can hear everything outside of the room, upstairs, and next door. The area itself is okay, there’s a Lidl within walking distance but at night the surrounding area feels quite unsafe. The rooms are tiny, to the point that two small carry on luggages just barely fit inside. This hotel also has no staff, you can only message via WhatsApp. For the price, I’d say it’s not worth it, you should spend a bit extra to go somewhere closer to the tourist area.

Nice location, effective communication. The room is nice. However nearby buildings are ruined so quite dirty. Also I found lady's hair on the provided hand towel.

Funky vintage building with a lift. Location good, but if you have a rental car, parking is practically impossible in the area. Coin metered during day, resident only parking at night. Walk to city ok during the day, but we felt safer taking Uber’s back to the apartment at night. Earplugs are provide and are necessary. Lots of creeping floors as per other comments, and loud plumbing monster noises at times. Basic kitchen, but functional. Warm water, but no real hot water for a comfortable shower. We enquired about this, but doesn’t seem to be fixable. Apartment door (105) has 1/2 inch gap on side. Can see into the apt. Couch wouldn’t be very comfortable for a long stay. Heating work really well.

The property is excelente but no parking around too much.

The locatiom is near the center.

Area not the best

We had a wonderful stay with our 9 month old baby and six year old. Our apartment was spacious and clean, the views were wonderful and the neighbourhood was fun to walk and explore even with a stroller. Communication was great, they were helpful and kind. When people are in the stairway noise really carries but it wasn’t a problem as everyone was respectful. Thanks for a wonderful time, we wish we were there longer!

Was Goff but need some sound proof

When arriving, someone was living in the room. This caused inconvenience to find another property while sorted out foe the remaindersof the stay.

The room was clean and nice but it was kind of noisy at night because the walls are so thin and people were going in and out. It felt unsafe to me as a woman solo traveling. There is no staff in the main lobby area ever. Its more like an apartment complex or dorm than a hotel. The only thing stopping people from entering the place are two doors with a key pad and sometimes the doors don't close fully and the door could stay open. The doors directly leading to the rooms were often left open by other guests. The room itself was nice and clean but I ended up leaving after the first night because I didnt feel safe hearing the doors opening all night and knowing there was nobody monitoring at all. Not even a single security camera. Also the sinks really are tiny and difficult to use. I felt so much better when i stayed at an actual hotel.

Easy check in and good communication from the Indy Team. Room was tight and a bit if boise from other rooms (building is creaky) were only blemishes.

Quirky decor. I liked the welcome wine and snack. Located in a reasonably convenient area of town, this is a cross between a hotel and hostel. I liked the fact that there was a private bathroom but also a shared kitchen. The bathroom smelt a bit and could have been cleaner but generally, it was ok and for the price, I would stay there again.

The complimentary wine was amazing! But the room felt like more like a hostel than a hotel. Shared kitchen was a bit weird. Bathroom sink was really small so washing up in the morning was a bit of an inconvenience. The gap between the two twin size beds put together to make a full size bed, made it very uncomfortable to sleep on. Locker doors and furniture inside the room was very old, not sure if that’s because of the aesthetics of the apartment or what, but it felt like a run down apartment.

Door did not unlock when we arrived and the management did not text or answer the phone. When we finally got a hold of someone in the Porto office to help us get in our room, the sheets were already dirty. Poor communication from the management. Otherwise a cute apartment in a decent spot in Lisbon.

It is a beautiful property with a great view. It was very comfortable and secure.

Property was great! Only issue was wifi is a bit slow but did not create a major issue. Easy walk to metro - very safe and quiet residential area. The common spaces around the property were also great.

The shower leaked! Really badly. Like you couldn’t take a shower without flooding half the apartment. I asked them to fix it and they were super responsive which was nice but unfortunately not effective. Had to put up with a leaking shower my two days there.

The property was fine itself and comfortable location to public transportation. The shower had hot water and nice shower head. My 2 concerns was that the I chose a non-smoking room and the room still had a faint smell of smoke (but that’s Europe and I am VERY sensitive) and the walls are so thin I could hear people talking in the room above me in the middle of the night.
