We only used the hotel to rest at night & get ready in the morning. We were always outside but enjoyed our stay here overall. However, one of the rooms we stayed in had stupid things, like the actual layout design was disappointing. The hanging rail over the wine cooler ( not a fridge) and TV was an extremely inappropriate place for clothes. So much space but everything is in one place. the sockets are not easy to access, and none of them were free. Except for one on the wall, up high by the ceiling, why? Can't charge or plug anything up there. The windows, open but don't close, like literally, you can't close them, because they don't close. The A/C, sorry, I meant, the rocket engine by the bedside table, was unfortunately too loud. Either sweat or stay awake with that blasting in your ears all night. Or if you're really lucky, you can listen to the neighbour's dog's choir after-hours concert because the barking is constant with intermissions in between. I struggled to sleep, yes. But my mum didn't so that's a plus. Tip: 501 windows are right in front of the rooftop garden, so get dressed in the dark bathroom with little lighting. The smart TV and smart projector & speaker were great for a little movie night before bed. Although room 503 had the answer to most of our problems. I hope the rest of the private rooms are like that one. I found both rooms spacious with lovely views of Lisboa. Hot water takes a while but will come. Except for one morning, there was no water. At all. A problem in the neighbourhood. Got fixed in about an hour. That 1 slice of toast powerplant restaurant needs better breakfast options for B&B guests. (It was sad) I'd recommend Dear Breakfast literally a few doors down instead, better customer service and a real meal. ( #1 fan) The Hostel location couldn't have been more perfect. All the guests were calm and friendly people too. The hotel attracts good people, I was worried the hostel would be a stereotypical loud, dirty and party place like in the movies (well we did have a private room). but the whole hotel was super clean and quiet inside. The shared restrooms were the only place that wasn't clean 24/7 but understandable I guess. I love the views and location so much, I think I'd have to come again because of that.
Very Good
