Pros:

Super Lage, sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal

Cons:

Eingeschränkte Frühstückswahl (z.B. kein Ei), laute Lüftungen im Innenhof, die bei geschlossenen Fenstern jedoch nicht gestört haben, Lüftung im Bad konnte nicht selbst aktiviert werden (ging irgendwann an und aus)

Sitio ideal para visitar Lisboa
Pros:

Es la tercera vez que viajo a Lisboa, y este hotel me pareció que la ubicación estaba fantástica. Mencionar que se portaron fenomenal, sufriendo la borrasca Martha, diluviando, llegamos a las 08:30 a.m y nos dieron la habitación, lo agradecimos mucho, y además nos invitaron a desayunar, fue todo un detalle

Konum süper, diğer özellikler vasat
Pros:

Tesisin tek ve en önemli özelliği konumu olup heryere yakın mesafedeydi

Cons:

Odalar küçük ve aydınlatma yetersizdi
Kahvaltıyı pek yeterli bulmadık. Bir haşlama yumurtayı masada bulundurmak zor değil aslında. Resepsiyondaki kahve makinasının benzerini kahvaltı salonuna da koysalar güzel bir kahve içebilirdik.

Πολύ καλή. Θα το συνιστούσα.
Pros:

Πολύ καλή τοποθεσία χωρίς ανηφόρες και χωρίς φασαρία. Κοντά στο κέντρο.
Οι ρεσεψιονιστ ήταν Πολύ ευγενικές και εξυπηρετικες.
Το πρωινό και ο καφές μέτριος. Έλειπαν τα αυγά .Ευτυχώς υπήρχαν φρούτα κομμένα.

Cons:

Το πρωινό.
