Obrigada
Pros:

Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen. Für uns besitzt dieses Hotel eine super Lage. Wir bewohnten ein Zimmer mit Blick auf den Innenhof, welches wir persönlich für sehr angenehm empfanden, da der abendliche Trubel, aufgrund der Restaurants der Straße uns nicht störte.
Vom Hotel aus gelangt man schnell zum Hafen sowie in die Altstadt.
Ein kleines und überschaubares Frühstück ließ uns in den Tag starten.
Das Personal ist freundlich und stand bei Fragen immer zur Verfügung.
Dankeschön 🍀, wie gesagt" Jederzeit wieder "

Superbe séjour dans un hôtel qui n'est ni déshumunisé ni standardisé
Pros:

Superbe emplacement. Malgré la place très fréquentée juste en dessous, pas de bruits et aucune nuisances. L'hôtel est très bien placé pour profiter de Lisbonne facilement, à pied ou en transport en commun. Grande chambre très claire avec une vue superbe sur le fleuve. Personnel adorable et très disponible.

Cons:

Pas grand chose ! La salle du petit déjeuner où l'on est un peu serré à l'heure de pointe, mais c'est vraiment un détail.

Good location, good room, modern bath/ shower.
Pros:

Clean, very nice staff, good location, spacious rooms (very nice river views on higher floors, pick when booking). Breakfast diverse: 2 kinds of cheese, ham, 3 kinds of pastries, sliced fruits, yogurt, teas, coffee, cereals. Mini fridge in the room. Front desk staff has water bottles available as well as coffee, drinks.
They let us see and choose from a couple of rooms. We picked the top floor with river views.

Cons:

Bathroom could use a few hooks. (bring some over the door ones). Could add boiled eggs at breakfast. Few scuffs on the room walls. But not major issues.

Gerne wieder aber nur mit anderem Zimmer.
Pros:

Perfekte Lage. Freundliches Personal. Frühstück war okay. Fahrstuhl vorhanden und Zimmer war gut.

Cons:

Wir hatten ein Zimmer zum Hinterhof. Man konnte das Fenster nachts zum Lüften nicht öffnen. Eine Anlage auf dem Hof war so extrem laut.
