The hotel was in a really good location and close to many restaurants, shops and transport links. The room was decorated well and the amenities were good - really good shower with rainfall and detachable head! The staff were friendly and the breakfast buffet, whilst small, was tasty and topped up regularly. My only issue was with noise - I was at back of property so no street noise however the sound from other rooms above and beside did travel a lot. This is in a way understandable as an older building however as the rooms here are advertised as “soundproof”; this was louder than expected. Overnight this wasn’t too bad but maybe something to be aware of if you go to bed early or want a lie in!
Overall though I would recommend for a trip to Lisbon; it’s vibe and closeness to transport and amenities was great.

The perfect hotel!
Our family loved this hotel - the only disappointing thing was the brevity of our stay. The kiddo-friendly details, the sustainable choices, and the friendly staff took this hotel to a whole other level. We’ll be back!

The area was great for walking to restaurants and shopping, the hotel itself was ok. It was very hostel-like. Was expecting a bit more for the larger rooms.

A great hotel, in a great location
A lovely stay in a great location - the room was really lovely. My only reason for marking it down was the bed and pillows weren’t super comfy therefore I found it difficult to sleep.
