    You can only pay by cash.

    This hotel has a lot of character, high beautiful ceilings, an amazing breakfast room, big wooden doors, and a romantic garden. It is located within the walking distance of the centre of Lisbon, such as cathedral and castle, and Tram 28 line is running past the hotel. As we were leaving early in the morning instead of breakfast, we were given pack ups, which included freshly made chocolate cake.

    We stayed in July when the temperature was above 28°C, and unfortunately, there was no air conditioning. It was very uncomfortable to stay overnight or spend time in the room during the day. The only option was to open the windows, but since they faced a main street, the noise was extremely loud and made it difficult to sleep.

    I liked the clean and fresh premises. The bathroom was very well maintained.

    Very noisy if you have a room facing the street. Found it difficult to sleep. Biggest problem however was check-in. The front door of the hotel is locked so the only way to access is by ringing the doorbell. Unfortunately that wasn’t working so we phoned the number found on Booking.com. No one answered the phone and we ended up having to persuade the hotel opposite to look after our bags until we could check in. Numerous phone calls and messages left finally resulted in us being able to check in but not a great start to our stay!

    Great location, 2 minute walk from green line on the metro. Easy to get to the airport. Very clean room with big comfortable bed. Good breakfast.

    A little bit noisy as right on main road into city. Slightly away from city centre and tourist attractions but walkable to those - just a different 'flavour' to the streets.

    Comfortable beds, large bathroom, unusual decor, garden space and very near metro station and small shop for essentials.

    We stayed 3 nights and what a gem of a hotel. You wouldn't think so from outside, as it is not free access to the public, (which also means it is secure). The rooms are really lovely and spacious, the bedding is comfortable and it is great to have a kettle to make tea and coffee. The breakfast buffet was small but definitely sufficient, we didn't need anything else. The metro was not far, nor was the bus or tram. The only negative was the sound of the metro and the walls were thin. But we would stay here again without hesitation :)

    Breakfast is good but could be arranged more practically. And the photos make the room look larger in my opinion.

    It is super clean and in a good location. The bed is comfortable and even though the room is very basic it has everything you need.

    No Elevator else the property.

    The place was centrally located but did not have an elevator to go up, which was difficult for carrying our bags etc. But the staff especially Arthuro was very helpful and made things easy for us. The other lady at the reception was akso good and did her bit. Overall the location was very convenient with bus, Metro, Restaurants and Markets all at walking distance.

    When you enter the front door there is no light in the hallway. On the other floors the light was turned on by a moving identicator. We prefer that the light also turned on by movement when you entered in the hallway.

    Great location, nearby metro. Room was very clean. Breakfast had more than enough choices.

    This is not about the hotel, but more about the area, we saw some shady people around with odd behaviour on same street, just be cautious.

    Clean, nice hotel with a garden. Location is quite good in terms that you have metro stations nearby and it is walkable distance to main street and squares.

    The shower wasn’t properly hydro isolated, and all the water was leaking on the floor and created a mess…

    The location of the property was great, easy access from/to subway. A walking(~30’) distance to St. George Castle and Alfama district. The staff was nice, they helped us with some breakfast to go, since we had an excursion that started early in the morning.

    One drawback is that the metro train seems to run under the hotel. This causes noise until the metro stops late at night. The super nice price made up for this and we had a pleasant stay

    The 2 ladies at reception and breakfast was exceptional. Jessica and Dianna went out of their way to make our stay fantastic. Best coffee in a month in Portugal was made bt Dianna. Rooms were clean and comfortable with nice showers.Breakfast was great.
