Overall, we were very pleased with the hotel and would stay again!
Pros:

Well situated. Our family suite was large and had two bathrooms, which we really appreciated as a family of 5. Very cool decor and atmosphere in the hotel and our suite had complimentary Mateus rose, a very nice touch!!

Cons:

There was, unfortunately, a very bad odor in the hallway and elevator. I suspect there was an issue with their gas evacuation/venting. Our room was fine, however.

I had a great stay. It was my first trip to Lisbon and I was impressed.
Pros:

The location was excellent. Close to the market and good cafes. A short distance from a small park and the sea-front.

Cons:

The municipal dust-bin lorries collecting early in the morning

Pros:

Very nice hotel!
And the location was amazing - we had the best food and the best coffee literally 200m around the hotel.

Affordable, great location with friendly staff
Pros:

All staff members were as polite and accommodating as possible. They helped me find two locations on short notice and did so with a smile.

The location can't be beat. You are 200 m away from the ocean, TimeOut and some great restaurants and bars.

The nearby Praça de São Paulo offers some nice acoustic performances on occasion.

Cons:

Walking by Praça de São Paulo often means being approached with an obtuse and unsolicited sales pitch for cocaine and hashish, which can detract from an otherwise pleasant experience. This is not the hotel's fault at all, but some community policing in the area could help reduce the nuisance.

Pros:

The location of the Hotel is very good as there are many transport options to choose from.
It was within walking distance to the Time Out markets and other attractions
The staff were friendly and attentive. The breakfast buffet was very good
Mini bar (restocked daily) and breakfasts were included
a Kettle was provided in each room

Cons:

The 2 bedroom apartment (described as penthouse) is somewhat unusual as it comprises 2 bedrooms each with a bathroom attached to the hotels function area (Mateus Rose promos) with a lounge, foosball soccer game and a large conference table. There are also two toilets and a commercial kitchen that can be accessed by staff if needed. We were allowed to use the kitchen. Though it is very well equipped it lacked a microwave oven
The second bedroom has a sloping ceiling which does hindered movement within the room and the bathroom only had a handheld shower head mounted low in the shower as it is designed to be the disabled bathroom for the function area
The main bedrooms bathroom only had a roller shade blind on the full length window in the shower, so privacy was a bit of an issue.
Whilst we were not disturbed, it felt somewhat weird that staff could enter the area if they needed to access the kitchen.
