Perfect location and very clean.
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.

Very underwhelming - not as pictured.
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.

Don’t do it!
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.

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.

A Short Break in Lisbon
A very friendly and helpful staff, basic hotel but well situated for the centre of Lisbon and easy to get around. Metro station Rossio close by and journey to airport by metro was 35 minutes. The hotel reception was reached by a flight of stairs and a further flight of stairs to the access lift for rooms above. Breakfast was continental at 8 euros each and plentiful. A bagage room is available to leave suitcases on departure days.

The staff at the desk were very nice. We stayed in two different rooms because of a change in plans. One room was supposed to be superior and it was very beautiful but had some drawbacks - the shower didn't drain, the shower head is the kind that could be handheld and it fell off on top of me (causing me to slip and almost fall), there were no trash bins, it was crazy loud at 7am with construction right outside our window (not the hotel's fault but still an issue and in our other room, every time someone closed their door our walls shook and in both rooms the beds were incredibly hard), no drawers to put stuff, the outlet next to the bed didn't work... BUT despite all of that, it's a fantastic location and if you can get an affordable enough price then it's worth it. There's even a small elevator after you go up one flight of stairs.

Wouldn’t stay here again
The main issue we had was the horrendous smell of drains in the bedroom. We didn’t complain when we arrived as it was only light, but as the days passed it got so much worse. The room apart from that was okay, with the basics needed for a few nights. View from room was to an abandoned building which wasn’t ideal, and the area around the hotel is quite rough.

They did not have Hair conditioner or bar soap, no glass or coffee accessories in the room, no small amenities in bathroom, no Kleenex, q-tips, in room only one chair. Breakfasts were substandard, nothing hot, no toaster, pastries not so good since there is fabulous pastries in Portugal. The elevator was tiny, no mention of 2 flights of walk up before lobby. Staff was pretty helpful with maps directions and taxis. However, very centrally located to see a lot of the important sights.

Great budget location for town and all the sights.
Excellent service - we have stayed here before but the warm welcome was definitely appreciated. Lovely room, outstanding view of the castle hill. Room well presented. Only issue was the shower dial which sticks out of the wall by 10cm at just below face height which my friend fell onto after slipping in the shower which gave her a nasty black eye. It was partly her fault for being clumsy but also probably not the best design especially in a hotel. I would definitely stay here again but just take more care in the shower!

Great hotel in a very central location. For the price the room was great and I felt very safe there on my own. There was always someone on reception I’d I needed them and they let me into my room early which I was very happy with. Easy to get to the metro in about 3 mins.

Location good, a miss in most other elements
The location was good, but the following not so good - Room size was not great - shower was above the bath and the doors past the end of their serviceable life - grouting was black in places - shower took 5 minutes to warm in the morning - room was very hot, the air con was only minimal functional and dripped water on the items below it even after it was reported - not enough power outlets - yes a 2 star place, but the elements need to work to get a good rating
