“What struck me most was the intelligent design maximising space in the rooms, plus the reliable, hot breakfast, and its surprisingly convenient location near the metro-ideal for getting around Lisbon quickly. It feels like a smart choice for a few days in the city; especially considering the welcoming lobby bar and the exceptionally helpful housekeeping team. A solid base for exploring, with more practicality than fuss.”
