Lo consiglierei !!
Pros:

Molto bello il rinnovamento delle camere, la pulizia (anche dei bagni comuni!) e la cordialità. Abbiamo avuto un piccolo dubbio sul primo accesso in camera, ma non appena abbiamo contattato l’host ci ha aiutato con grande disponibilità ad accedere in camera.
Posizione molto comoda!

Cons:

Solo le indicazioni su come accedere (fornire per tempo il pin per il locker) senza dover ricontattare l’host.

awful
Cons:

i booked a room with a private bathroom, we ended up having to use the shared bathroom because apparently there was a misunderstanding in the wording used in the reservation. even if at first the owner seemed to be open to give a little refund, since we paid more for the room with private bathroom, in the end he never gave us anything and pretended that we had all the shared bathrooms for us, which was the biggest lie since everyday the shower was full of hair and there were other people there. i even tried to speak to him in person when he came for the check out and he pretended not to hear me. i highly don’t recommend this place, awful costumer service and disrespectful

Cons:

The door of one of the bathrooms had a broken lock, which prevented me from going out of it. When it is fixed, the property will be excellent

Una estancia de 10
Pros:

Nuestra estancia fue perfecta. Todo estaba súper limpio y cuidado al detalle. Nos encantó que hubiera una cafetera disponible y el lavabo dentro de la habitación fue comodísimo y muy práctico.
La ubicación también es excelente, ya que permite moverse fácilmente a pie a muchos lugares de interés. Además, la habitación contaba con aire acondicionado, algo que se agradece muchísimo.
Queremos destacar especialmente la atención al cliente: aunque llegamos bastante tarde por la noche, nos ayudaron en todo momento para poder entrar sin ningún problema.
Sin duda, es la mejor habitación en la que me he alojado hasta ahora. La recomendaría al 100 % y volvería a alojarme aquí sin pensarlo.

Pros:

Carlos who works at the hotel was incredibly friendly, accommodating and efficient! He made the stay feel extra comfortable. The location was amazing, I had a large room which was well decorated and comfortable.

I would recommend. My only advice would be, if you want space and a balcony view make sure you specify that as not all rooms are the same!

Overall would really recommend

We highly recommend Nova Alegria to anyone visiting Lisbon and would gladly stay here again. Thank you, Carlos, and the
Pros:

Our stay at Nova Alegria (our “Newfound Happiness”)
was absolutely wonderful. The location is excellent, restaurants, cafés, and public transportation, making it easy to explore Lisbon. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

We arrived in Lisbon at 6:00 AM after traveling from Spain, even though our check-in time wasn’t until 12:00 PM. Despite this, they kindly allowed us to stay in the living room area so we could rest, freshen up, and recover from our journey. This thoughtful gesture meant so much to us and made a huge difference after an early arrival. 🫶🫶🫶

Ofcourse, special thank you to Carlos, who truly made our stay even better. He was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and always willing to help with everything we asked for. His kindness and genuine hospitality made us feel right at home. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Cons:

None at all.
