Ein super entspannter Urlaub
Pros:

Für ein 3-Sterne Hotel hat mich alles sehr positiv überrascht. Wir hatten ein tolles großes Zimmer mit super Ausblick auf den Tejo. Das Bad war neu gefliest. Das Frühstück war zwar jeden Tag das gleiche (keine Eier), aber es gab Herzhaftes und Süßes und wurde immer nachgelegt, egal wieviel Zeit noch blieb. Die Lage war perfekt, zur Metro 2 Minuten und sonst per Fuß zu den meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten oder in die Altstadt. Es ist ein sehr ruhiges Hotel, ohne Trubel. Unten an der Rezeption konnte man immer Kaffe, Cappucino oder Wasser kostenfrei nehmen. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und würden es wieder buchen und auch empfehlen.

Cons:

Ich hätte gerne Eier beim Frühstück.

On ne reviendra pas
Pros:

La literie, l’emplacement .

Cons:

La chambre a besoin d’un rafraîchissement et ne reflète pas les photos sur booking.com. Le café du petit déjeuner est très dilué, pas d’aliments chauds . Le rapport qualité prix n’est pas justifié (170 Euros par nuit pour une chambre standard)

Great location and friendly staff
Pros:

The room was looking to the back street which allowed us to sleep well. It was so silent. The breakfast was normal, not fancy but enough. The location is great! Close to the metro, bus stop. There are several restaurants around. We loved our stay and we'll definetely be back. Dear Riverside Alfama team, thank you very much for your hospitality.

Découverte d'une ville passionnante.
Pros:

L'amabilité et la disponibilité du personnel.
Le petit déjeuner est exceptionnel.

Cons:

Étant donné que j'ai effectué la réservation il y a plusieurs mois nous avons été très déçus de la localisation de la chambre près du poubelles. E n faisant la réservation d'avance ceci n'est pas admissible
