i totally loved my time here! the breakfast had so many yummy options, it was hard to choose. the staff were super friendly and always ready to help, especially at reception. i also liked the location, it was easy to get around (the metro was super close!).

Solid Stay near the Metro

professional staffhelpful staffclose locationgood breakfast
The staff was VERY professional and helpful. They gave me several good options for getting into the city center. The location is close to the métro. The continental breakfast offered a good start to the day.
I would have appreciated a safe in my room.
Location

This location offers great proximity to three metro lines. Access to major parts of the city is simple. Eduardo VII Park is also within a 15-minute walk. This is a popular spot for tours outside the city.
Dining

The breakfast had sufficient options with various breads and cereals. A selection of beverages was available. I found the breakfast to be a solid way to start my mornings.
Facilities

The parking garage was available, and I paid €7 per day. This influenced my decision to stay here. I reached the coast easily within 3 km. Public transport, like buses and the metro, were within 500 meters.

the location was indeed great with many good places nearby. the room was spacious, and it had most of the things one needs. i especially liked the well thought out and designed bathrooms. the beds were comfortable.
The ac kept getting locked. there was no hair conditioner in the bathroom, i then asked for it in the reception but they had none, so we had to buy some. breakfast food was really bad. In our second day we went to have breakfast elsewhere despite having it included in our fare
