I was looking for a low cost affordable clean and safe place to stay overnight (I was travelling on my own, female, 50s) between taking the train from Paris and catching the bus to Lisbon. This hotel is very basic, but I fully understand why it gets such excellent reviews. I was arriving late, so I did an online check in, which gave me the code for the front door and my room. I arrived having not had dinner, but there was water, fruit, snacks, and coffee in the lobby, which worked for me. The room was clean, comfortable bed, and great water pressure in the shower. Even a good hair dryer! The hotel is very close to the bus station, something that was important for me also. Overall, great hotel for my needs.
