Hotel itself was very clean, staff responded fast through message so we could enter in with code, the actual room it’s safe as someone would have to go through 2 coded doors and a locked door or climb 6 stories, the outside was definitely on a sketchy road people were staring so make sure to look at your surroundings and the people at ALL TIMES. I probably wouldn’t go alone, other than that the room was amazing for the price and bed was very comfty!

Not recommended

The stay was terrible, I'll describe my experience: The guesthouse is located in Little India of Lisbon and I felt super unsafe as a solo traveller. No communication before I arrive, had to wait 15 minutes in the open street with my luggage before I got my passcode, imagine the anxiety. I got a room worse than it was promised, they told me my original room was not ready, I had no choice because I just wanted to get into the hotel. The next day they offered me an upgrade to a nice room in city center with private bathroom, which I think is good. It's just I didn't have a good first night, the street condition of the initial guesthouse is really bad, check online before u book.

I can not fault the hostel. It was clean and well furnished. The area was not safe in my opinion. There is open drugs taking, dealing on the street outside the flat and open solicitations. Not safe for solo females.

Nice guest house

I chose this guest house due to its location in Lisbon rather than for the fact that it was a guest house and in this regard it is great as it is located near close to the centre and within walking distance of several tourist sites and metro stations. The room is basic but comfortable and the facilities were good and well maintained.

We had very a bad experience. The booking we made did not represent the room we booked and which was send to us in picture with confirmation. Arriving late with flight delay looking for cozy room to rest and finding a room where you can not even open carry on suitcases plus dirty sheets and towels was just too much. It really spoiled our stay in Lisbon. Next morning we had quick pick to the other rooms and they were fine so why we ended up in storage converted room which was charged same as almost one size bigger I have no idea. No matter the staff changed the sheets and towels and they were helpful we still had to stay in same storage size room. Very very disappointing.
