Very nice place in the very center of town. Very helpful staff, Marco was awesome and made lots of great suggestions. Breakfast at the nearby bistro was abundant and of excellent quality.

Klaeufer

United States of America

In a very old area of Lisbon, right in the main tourist area. The decorating and retrofitting of this building acknowledges on its historic architecture, but emphasizes that this is a hip urban area. We initially had a problem with our room. Management went above and beyond to ensure that we not only got a different room, but they also upgraded us to a fabulous suite and gave us a meal voucher for their bistro. Well above how I expected our problem to be resolved. Staff remembered who we were and were genuinely concerned that our holiday in Lisbon was a 10 out of 10. We will certainly remember their treatment of us as a hi light of our trip

“Tiny shower, good location.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 3 nights
- The shower was tiny. In order to enter/exit the shower you had to open the bathroom door. - There was a bad smell coming from the sewage. - The bathroom was right next to the bed, so there was no privacy. - The room was very small and also the view to the back yard made it depressing. - Breakfast not served at the same building.
- Location was excellent. - The staff was polite and helpful.

“Great location and great staff!”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
I found the room was very much style over substence. For instance, there is a huge radio that takes more than half of the space of the bedside table and there is a very small space dedicated to clothes... Some of the furniture is useles and take a lot of space from a very small room. The strange thing is that there is big fridge but it is empty (no mini-bar) and I wonder why they have chosen this option. Even if they sell themselves as "design" hotel, I think they need to re-think their customers priorities and declutter the room.
The best thing about this hotel is INES, one of the receptionists, who is WONDERFUL, very helpful and always keen to make your stay better. I would use this hotel again just because of her excellent assistance. Even if they don't offer breakfast on site, it is served in an establishment close to the hotel but it is very good quality and competitive price, the ambience is really comfortable and relaxed. I would recommend it. I am a woman travelling on my own for work and I would definitely recommend this hotel also for its location. I felt very safe in Lisbon, even in the evenings, coming back from restaurants.

“Great Staff and customer service. Beautiful property , though a little cluttered in the room. ”
- • Leisure trip

Its overly cluttered with decorations, picture frames, speakers , cables are hanging out, ceiling lights are very hush above your head. Room is already very small so not much space to move around.
Staff and managers are very helpful and friendly, they warmly greet you with a smile and always willing to help. Location is fantastic. Bed is very comfortable and the street of Rua dos Sapateiros isnt that noisy at night. Lobby is so beautiful, you should try sitting on all the designers' chairs. Have a cup of complimentary coffee, help yourself and unwind. Room comes with a bottle of Red wine. ( maybe not all rooms) . Though this is an old building , it is well maintained, decorated and beautiful. I stayed in a few different rooms in Feb 2020. Very comfortable even though its overly cluttered in the room . Coffee and tea were generously complimentary, thanks!!

Many websites are blocked on local Macs. Though it's not a really big problem as I was uing my devices.
It's a pretty small hotel in the heart of Lisbon with most of the attractions in less than 10-minute walk. The rooms are very convenient, clean and even with Apple iMacs inside! A very good breakfast is served every day.
