“Cleanliness and a central location, near both a supermarket and restaurants, define this Lisbon stay; rooms include air conditioning, while the staff generally impress. Breakfast provides a varied buffet, though some find it misses omelets or fried eggs; overall, it's a solid base for exploring the city. The metro is nearby.”

Acceptable Stay with a Few Disappointments

street noise monotonous breakfast

The soundproofing was not good. I could hear a lot of street noise (this. The breakfast was also disappointing. It was monotonous and not very tasty (two or three days is okay, but longer would be hard).
