It's an interesting take on minimalist - and very very economical - way to stay! This was hands down the most economical place I could find at the time of my travel and I'm glad I took advantage of it. The bare wall bathroom and "no window, just a box" theme certainly isn't for everyone but if you are looking for an efficient, and quite honestly sufficient, place only a few minutes walk from Bolhao market/via Catarina shopping area and/or 5min from Sao Bento station, this place is a find. It worked out great for me bc I had two day trips that started from Sao Bento and ended in Praca Batalha area which is also close. Facilitates are really sufficient. Shower was good. I do recommend having flipflops ( because the shower floor is more concrete than tile) which people don't usually need for an ensuite bathroom. Self operating lockers for storage after the check out. Staff very pleasant, they monitor the front desk 24hrs. No communal fridge but they were happy to hold my few cold items in the fridge in the back overnight, which was very much appreciated. I didn't get to utilize the communal areas in the 5th floor but the concept of bring your own movie to hook up to a big screen/stereo is brilliant. I did think that the area right outside of the place was a little run down, not dangerous in any way, just in "some neighboring lots are empty so it looks sketchy at night", kind of way. Again , the theme is not for everyone, but for the location and price I would return to stay.

Liked: Cleanliness
Nice place - and room was comfortable and clean - so not a bad place to stay. First room was given had a very foul smell in it - so was given another. Some staff at front desk were extremely rude, seemed to be prioritizing helping people they knew and not following order people were lined up in.

Great for pictures but not comfort

We’re pretty flexible travelers and genuinely looked forward to our stay here both for its vibe and price point. But we quickly discovered it’s a glorified hostel. The rooms were sweltering hot with no means to cool them down meaningfully. The bathroom was moldy. And we didn’t get a chance to explore the sauna because we’re pretty sure we walked in on a couple really putting it to use…. But the bar and restaurant downstairs are great, as is the location. So you get what you pay for.

The side street this hotel was located on was a bit sketchy, but very close to the main road. Staff and the quality of the hotel was great- definitely geared toward an under 45 crowd. Rooftop pool was unavailable due to maintenance which was a bummer. There was a considerable amount of mold in the bathroom of my ‘box’- around the base of the shower and in behind the sink. The industrial aesthetic, dim lighting and absence of windows might lead one to overlook it. I would stay here again on a solo trip but the box might be tight for two people.

Economical but somewhat uncomfortable. Rooms felt like I was in an institution. Common rooms were dingy and uninviting.

Location was fantastic. The bed was really comfortable and the bathroom had hot water forever. It was a little claustrophobic (it is a box- they’re not exaggerating) but the bigger room seemed ok. It’s well laid out and well appointed. The restaurant is top notch and great value. The sauna is a great touch as well for weary travelers. The roof top is also quite nice. Staff is superb and very helpful.

Pros: Convenient location that is walkable to most attractions Cons: It stands out as the hotel with least amount of basic decent amenities. The bath towels were so poor quality that looks more like a rag. Even the toilet paper was of such poor quality that’s unrivaled. The room doesn’t even have a telephone. No safe deposit box. To top it, the air conditioner will auto switch off after awhile. Let me repeat. It switches off. It does not restart after it warms up. It simply shuts down. We were told they had taken care of the problem but never did resolve it. Staff attitude was ok. Hotel will only make up the room if u request at reception desk on day u want it. Even then they forgot to make up the room.
