We arrived in Lisbon very early (630am) so understandably the room wasn't available until the stated time of 3pm. There was a lot of food options in the area for breakfast and dinner - nightlife in the pink street if that's your thing too.
The room was awkward with little counterspace, and having to walk over the foot of the bed to get to the other side, but that's part of the charm.
Breakfast is included which was delicious! The eggs benedict was a very nice touch!

The perfect hotel!
Our family loved this hotel - the only disappointing thing was the brevity of our stay. The kiddo-friendly details, the sustainable choices, and the friendly staff took this hotel to a whole other level. We’ll be back!

The area was great for walking to restaurants and shopping, the hotel itself was ok. It was very hostel-like. Was expecting a bit more for the larger rooms.

A great hotel, in a great location
A lovely stay in a great location - the room was really lovely. My only reason for marking it down was the bed and pillows weren’t super comfy therefore I found it difficult to sleep.

Best breakfast we have had at a hotel
The staff and breakfast are amazing
Ana and others were very helpful
The hotel is well situated not far from the train and metro as well as downtown sites
The only unfortunate part was there is street noise at night from a bar where locals party to the wee hours of the morning
I would still stay and bring ear plugs
