Hotel berhampiran Dorothy's House/Land of Oz, Liberal

We stayed here in 2022 while visiting Lisbon/Portugal for the very first time. If you enjoy walking, it is well situated as it is close to Liberdade, which is one of the most beautiful and lively streets in Europe boasting not only a wide promenade with tall trees and outdoor bars/cafes that separates north and south traffic but some of the best designer shops around. Fortunately, the hotel is in a quite area, only a block away from Liberdade's hustle and bustle. It's only about a 15-20 minute walk to Rossio, the main train station that gets you to Sintra and perhaps another 15 minutes south to the River and the main tourist area. It's also not that far a walk up into the historic Bairro Alto neighbourhood. Last time, we were assigned a room on the south-east corner of the hotel that had a nice view and a small balcony. This time, even though we booked 7 months in advance and had requested either the same room on either the same or higher floor, we were not accommodated. Instead we were assigned a lower floor and something far too close to the elevator. The room was a bit smaller but fortunately the bed was still large enough and comfortable. Not sure how our request was ignored given we had booked so far in advance. As well, it seemed that both the selection and the quality of the food provided for breakfast were not as good as our visit just 18 months before. We would like to return this hotel one day but only if things improve.

It was a good place to stay, and staff was very helpful. Will stay again when visiting family. Convenient and close to Food and Gas Station. Nice to find smoking rooms in this day and age. Could have been a little cleaner but I've seen worse. Thank you
