I can't imagine a more convenient and central location. It's right downtown, close to (touristy, albeit) restaurants, a short walk–plus an unavoidable many step climb–to the trendy Barrio Alto area, to the Plaza Commercio, and the Alfama old quarter. The Metro stop, Rossio, is just five minutes from the hotel, making it an efficient and cheap route to and from the airport.
The front desk and restaurant/bar staff were universally welcoming and helpful. A special "shout out" to Daniel and Nadiya who spent time with us to share their recommendations on good local restaurants and advice around planning a day trip to Sintra.
The hot and cold buffet breakfast was tasty and had variety.
Our room was clean, modern, well lit, quiet, and well insulated from the noise of the busy street below. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom had a walk-in shower stall with a rather intriguing rain shower from the ceiling.
It had its downsides, however: (1) only two tiny (think shoe box) drawers and tight closet space for hanging clothes. (2) there was a sliding door along one wall gave access to the (a) mini-bar/coffee maker/closet and also the bathroom…but not at the same time!! It was very inconvenient and I think they should get some money back from the architect who designed that feature. (3) I would have liked regular in-room coffee, not just expresso.
Despite these inconveniences, I still give it a five.
