Nice place in a great location.

Pretty barebones experience, but that was perfect considering my goal was to go out and explore. The bedroom and shared bathroom were clean and nice. The owner is responsive if there's an issue.

The property is in central location and everything was accessible. The tram 28 route is also from front of the hotel. There is a famous pastel de nata bakery, a grocery store and live music every night by local artists. The property however is an old building with squeaky flooring. Since I was in the room that had a shared bathroom, middle of the night if I were to get up , there was some walk to the washroom and it would be noisy. The check in process was no contact, so I didn’t meet any staff there. However I occasionally saw the cleaning lady. The street where this hotel is is extremely noisy till 2 or even 3 am, the room is with low soundproofing. I used the fan they provided to lower the outside noise. You also have to pay the tourist fee which they charged 4 euro per night per person. Overall my stay was alright.

The room was spacious and clean and as described. The staff were also clear with directions and available for questions. However there was a smell coming from the toilet. And other guests would love the door to the shared toilet open which caused a bad smell in the corridor too. They also don’t allow luggage to be kept at the property after 2pm which makes it difficult if you have a night flight
