“Staying here feels like discovering a Lisbon secret, tucked close to the Prime Minister's residence yet a manageable walk to the historic center. I especially liked the individually designed rooms, each furnished with design and antique pieces, and the shared kitchen is a real bonus for preparing meals. Note that it's essential to coordinate arrival times, as the staff isn't always on hand, which adds to the unique, intimate atmosphere.”

The staff member gave a tour, showing all the IMPORTANT details. The kitchen was great. I used it daily and found food provided. I also enjoyed the SAFE neighborhood.
My private bathroom was located outside the room. This felt inconvenient. The building felt cold and the bathroom was even colder, unfortunately, i got sick.

access to the kitchen was available I only used it for tea.
the room was on the small side, you know and it don't look like the pictures not even a little. the noise levels in this place were ridiculous, doors slamming, people stomping around the hallway it was a symphony of disruptions. the balcony was shared so no privacy or peace to be found.
