Presque parfait pour mes critères
Pros:

La localisation est excellente . Proche de tout .
C’est sobre et efficace. Personnel très sympathique. Peu de choix au petit dej mais suffisant et bon .
Ayant réservé une excursion tôt un matin, je ne pouvais pas prendre le petit déjeuner à l’hôtel ; ils nous ont préparé de quoi le prendre à emporter .

Cons:

Je trouve que l’insonorisation est le seul point faible . On entends l’extérieur surtout le week end quand les rues sont un peu plus animés .
De plus il y avait sûrement un enfant dans la chambre dessus et on l’entendait énormément .
Cela peut être très problématique pour les personnes sensible au bruit . Ce n’est pas mon cas donc je reviendrai .

Perfeita!
Pros:

Simpatia dos funcionários, todos muito solícitos, localização maravilhosa! Quarto era pequeno na medida, tamanho suficiente e super confortável. Até porque ficamos o dia todo fora não precisa de quarto grande só pra dormir! Tudo que solicitei os funcionários me davam, sempre muito gentis! Gostei de tudo! Café da manhã simples mas ótimo! As frutas fresquinhas, minhas filhas amaram a paquequinha!

Cons:

Só dão uma chave de acesso, as vezes meu marido precisava sair pra comprar algo e não tinha acesso ao elevador tendo que pedir aos funcionários
Mas isso não foi algo que o incomodou. Nem chegamos a pedir uma segunda chave, também!

Ideal von der Lage her, für ein paar Tage Lissabon, absolut empfehlenswert.
Pros:

Die Lage war fantastisch. Das Personal war freundlich und der kostenlose Kaffee an der Rezeption machen prima.

Cons:

Leider hatten wir ein Zimmer nach hinten raus, und es wurde pünktlich um Mitternacht der Müll abgeholt, und zwar leider täglich. So war schlafen bei offenem Fenster nicht möglich.

Merkeze çok yakın fiyat performans oteli.
Pros:

Kahvaltı seçenekleri az ama yeterliydi. Malzemelerin hepsi taze ve lezzetliydi. Merkeze çok yakın, önemli noktaların hemen hemen hepsine yürüyerek ulaşmak mümkün. Ayrıca toplu ulaşım alternatiflerine de yakın. Araçla gelecekler için hemen otelin karşısında kapalı otopark (günlük otopark ücreti 22€ civarı) olması avantaj. Biraz yürümeyi göze alanlar için daha ucuz açık otopark bulmak da mümkün.

Cons:

Arka tarafa bakan odaların manzarasını sevmedim.
