Good position: next to the metro station São Sebastião, to Gulbenkain Foundation and Park Eduardo VII. The three stars are true. Beautiful reception with a very professional staff. Wide and good room. Perfect bed. Working WiFi. Cleaning floor not perfect. Super breakfast included. The breakfast room is little, compared with the hotel. Probably that is way the staff asked the time we want to have breakfast. I’ve paid about 100 euro a day in June and I think this is a good quality/price ratio.

friendly staff on a very pretty street away from crowds. the hotel was nice and quiet, and very pleasant. the breakfast was good but they asked us to reserve time the day before. this was inconvenient and did not help with the crowds. the bed was large and comfortable, and teh shower and bathtub were fantastic.

Everything went super well and smooth until the check out. When we arrived at the hotel staff at reception were very friendly and check in was really quick and smooth. The room was more then enough for us bed as very big and comfortable just right for a city stay. Very well located 3min walk from sao sebastiao metro station where you can very quickly get to the main attractions in the city. All went down next morning, my partner woke up and, un the dark stretched himself to turn on the bed side light. The switch is on the actual bed side and a soon as he touch it git a electric shock because the actual switch was missing. Well in the dark you can't really see anything otherwise he wouldn't have touch it. When checking out we advised the receptionist of the problem and told him that my partner even had an electric shock. He laughed and asked him why would he put is finger if there was no switch... he obviously replied it was dark, was trying to turn on the light and obviously couldn't see there was no switch and wasn't spotted the day before! The receptionist apologised but still laughed on our face, very sarcastic laugh I must say! After that I told him we have drunk 2 bottles of water which were in the room and he charged me for both even though one of them was complimentary as stated in a handout on the top of the desk in the room! So we were charged 7€ for two bottles of water! The least could be done after all the situation was to leave it but no. We paid not one but two waters and one was already complimentary and supposedly free of charge! Was very disappointed for this last gesture because our experience had been actually quite good.

I had originally selected this hotel for its location as it was very close to the Metro line and it was easy to get to different parts of the city. It's also very near the Gulbenkian Museum, which is a gorgeous gallery with beautiful and serene gardens. But the hotel exceeded my expectations. The staff was very helpful and accommodating and the room was much larger and modern than I expected. And even though I was on the first level facing the street, I had a pleasant view and it was very peaceful. The hotel is centrally located, but being on a side street, it was so quiet. There was also a great breakfast with lots of choices including a few items that worked for vegan/vegetarian/gluten-grain free guests. All in all, I could not have made a better choice for my stay in Lisbon.

Great hotel in the Center of Lisbon. Staff were very friendly. The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast buffet was really big, with a huge selection of fresh produce, breakfast items. The hotel is well located, near a metro station, close to many restaurants nearby.

We loved our stay here and would stay here again. The breakfast buffet which was included, was a full breakfast including eggs ham sausage etc. The only issue with the breakfast is the hot food was not hot. The room was very nice, only one minor issue with the shower. You basically had to mop up the floor after every shower because it was not even half closed by the glass. Friendly helpful staff and great dining options right out your front door. We love the restaurant LUZZO across the Street.

The hotel was in a great location. The hotel is about a 40 minute walk to the city centre with so many things to see and do along the way. If you are in more of a rush, there is a metro station less than a 5 minute walk from the hotel. The hotel was very clean and we got a phone call after checking in from reception to check that everything was satisfactory in our room. The hotel also offers a delicious breakfast with quite a spread; eggs, sausage, vegetables, fruit, cheeses, and a selection of pastries and beverages. I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel!

The staff were great - friendly, helpful and competent. The room was a bit jaded - old and tired, but clean, functional and airy. Breakfast was rather basic with few options for vegetarians, and space was also limited so I had to eat in the reception area one morning. Nevertheless, the food was well prepared and tasty.

Room was fine, the provision of pillows could be better, the mattress was fantastic. Even if the breakfast room was a little small, breakfast was very good, with a wide choice of food. The personnel at front desk was kind and efficient. I must admit that I did not appreciate the question wether we wanted the room cleaned daily or less frequently. In a hotel os such a level I would expect that room cleaning is carried out on a daily basis. However, service was very good
