A really nice hotel well situated 12 mins walk from the main centre. A plus is that it’s not on a hill (you’ll understand why after visiting Lisbon and very close to the Metro at Intendente). A couple of nice restaurants are very close by and I’d recommend the Portuguese/ Italian just as you walk onto Avenida Almirante Reis.
Room is funky inc bathroom but little space for toiletries?
Breakfast is good but on my first morning I wasn’t offered the cooked breakfast and on another day the scrambled eggs were stone cold! Ask for your breakfast to be freshly cooked?
On arrival, the lift wasn’t working but was soon repaired. Take care on the stairs which I thought was quite dimly lit.
After unpacking my case, I had some creased shirts and asked for the loan of a clothes iron. But was told on two occasions, it was with other guests. I was given a clothes steamer but this didn’t work. Needless to say, I didn’t bother asking a third time for the iron.
Staff always smiled and pleasantly greeted you. The male member of staff who did the breakfasts was so nice and friendly! He was really attentive and looked after everyone.
The outside area is quiet and cool if you want some time out to read or just admire the fab mural!
Taxi to the airport… book on the Uber app for under €10. I had emails from the hotel offering a taxi for €31… guess which I booked arrived at the door in 2 minutes!
Would I go back? Yes. Why? Location, funky interior, cleanliness, no kids, staff member at breakfast!
