Initially I thought I’d made a mistake booking here, the outside of the hotel looks dated. But I realized that my initial impression was the actual mistake. Inside the hotel is lovely. My room was clean and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable, the mattress, pillows, and linens were all top notch. The area is a little noisy, but the double glazed windows cut that down significantly, I never had a minutes trouble sleeping. The staff was very helpful. The lobby looks like it was designed and furnished by Le Corbusier. The breakfast buffet is terrific, the hotel does take in groups, so the breakfast room can sometimes be a little crowded. But even then the staff made sure all the foods were stocked and available. They do have a dinner buffet too, it’s not included in the price of the room. I ate there my first night and thought it was worth the price. The food was well prepared, especially the duck in rice. One last thing, the hotel is situated near a major subway line, so, if you’re someone who is adventurous enough to try foreign public transit, you can get everywhere in Lisbon from the area. All in all I’d recommend this hotel highly.
