Design Stylish Lisbon

The staff were nice and helpful, and the location was good. But there's no air conditioning or lift, breakfast was minimal, and it was noisy outside. The old building was having work done all week. The shared toilet was unpleasant, and I had to hear some drunk guy throwing up. I also came across a cockroach in the bathroom. Very disappointing. Never again.

The view was awful, and more than ten pigeons kept us company at night. Our window wouldn't even close. There was just one shared bathroom for four twin rooms, so eight people had to wait their turn to use it. Awful.

The bathroom was the worst part. It's one tiny room with two toilets, three showers, and two sinks, with nowhere to leave your things while you shower. Water gets everywhere, so the floor is always puddled. There's no privacy, and someone could walk in while you're getting dressed. Keeping your clothes dry on that wet floor is hard too. We paid 332€ for a family room for three. The room was decent, but had only one power outlet and one ceiling light, with no small lamps. Breakfast was decent as well, though there's no proper dining area. If a big group takes the table, you're left eating on the couch with your food in your lap. For this hotel-like price, you could stay in an actual hotel or find a much nicer, cheaper hostel in the same great location.

They canceled my booking two weeks before I was due to stay and gave no reason or explanation. You may want to avoid it if you don't want your plans unexpectedly disrupted.
