Lisboa

If you’re in the city and need somewhere to rest, this is a good place to stay.

Someone tried my door at 4:30 a.m. on my last night there. I couldn’t sleep properly with the AC making a huge racket, and the unit seemed ancient, maybe from 1908. The room had no window, was dirty, and everything felt old and bad. The staff were unfriendly.

For our budget, it was perfect, and we’ll come back. The room was clean and well kept, and we felt comfortable there. We also appreciated getting an early check-in. The location was close to everything, with cab service available everywhere.

The staff were all kind and helpful, which was the one good thing. But I wouldn’t recommend staying here. The area didn’t feel very safe, and there were prostitutes on the same street, just a few meters from the hotel. Nobody spoke English, which could be a problem for some visitors. The AC was very loud, smelled unpleasant, and seemed as though it hadn’t been cleaned in decades. Its switch was partly broken, so I couldn’t properly set the temperature. The noise kept me from sleeping well. The electrical sockets were old and loose, and my charger would easily fall out.
