Residence Metro-Alameda

I liked the location, even when it's a bit further from the centre. I had a balcony which made the minimal room much more appealing. Furniture was a bit aged, but it had everything you needed.

I would have preferred to receive clearer check-in information sooner, so I didn't have to request it. It could have been automated. Some other guests were quite loud at 2am. I specifically requested my room not be cleaned, which they respected for 2 days. But then they started entering my room. I really didn't want this service, and I thought I had made it clear. I don't want someone entering my private space. I know they were trying to be helpful, but it turned out to be invasive.

An excellent choice in every respect. My twin-bedded room with en suite bathroom had everything I needed for a short stay, and having access to the well-equipped kitchen was an added bonus. Wi-fi connectivity was excellent, and there was always plenty of hot water. My bed was very comfortable. The room was also very clean and quiet, with plenty of hanging and storage space. José, the manager, was most courteous and welcoming. The residence is located roughly half way between the airport and the city centre, close to a metro station and numerous 'bus stops. It is a safe and non-touristy part of the city. There are also many good cafés and restaurants nearby. Great value for money in a city where hotel accommodation is much more expensive than it used to be. I can recommend Residence Metro-Alameda warmly, and hope to be able to stay there again on my next visit to lovely Lisbon.

There was nothing I disliked.

Easy access and safe. Comfortable bed. Unexpected daily room cleaning. Host was very kind, even walked me to an open laundromat on New Year’s Day.

There was a refrigerator in the room that I never used. It was moldy inside. Unnecessary for it to be there because there was space in the kitchen refrigerator.

Parking on the street is not possible. Room was outdated but clean. Washer and dryer were not available.
