"The hotel's biggest advantage is its location, very close to the metro station. You can take the elevator up to the second floor with your luggage and reach it within a 5-minute walk. It's on a main street, so no need to navigate narrow alleys, making travel very convenient.
**A word of caution:** Be wary of small restaurants starting with 'S' nearby. While cheap, the food tends to be overly salty and the ingredients aren't very fresh. You can walk down the slope to the market for food, and you'll also find good Fado shows in the vicinity.
The front desk staff are a bit cool. One female staff member was expressionless and didn't respond to greetings. It wasn't exactly bad service, but the experience was just average. English communication was barely passable, and they were quite rigid in their procedures. Early check-in, even with available rooms, incurs a 10-20 Euro charge. I was originally waiting until 4 PM to check in, but was only allowed to enter my room just before 3:30 PM.
I specifically requested a quiet room, and was assigned a corner room backing onto a hillside. There was a persistent low-frequency noise throughout the night, and on the second night, frequent banging sounds, which disturbed my rest. The room's drainage was slow, and the hairdryer was faulty, requiring me to request another one from the front desk.
The waste separation was difficult to adapt to. The recycling bins were four different colors, there were no garbage bags, and no simple signs to guide the sorting rules. Having been used to leaving garbage outside the door in other countries, I tried to do so here but was stopped by the front desk without any explanation.
Overall, the experience was average. I wouldn't highly recommend it if you have other options."
