Hotel berhampiran Casa Quinhentista, Lisbon

It’s been a long time since I was last in a youth hostel, and as a now 45 year old man there is probably a reason for this. Arriving late on the Tuesday night with fond memories of dorm parties and tequila slammers, I was greeted by what I initially thought was captain Jack Sparrow, but who actually transpired to be a very friendly chap who helped us to navigate the intricacies of the main entrance. Door buzzed, suitcases lifted up the stairs and ugh who let mum and dad in looks absorbed, we were handed our keys by a lovely member of the team alongside vouchers for two free shots. Enthusiastically we were informed that the bar was open until 1am that night, although we had missed the pub crawl for the evening. I’m flattered I guess, however we decided to give the shots a miss in favour of a nice sleep. Yup, Father Time catches up with us all… We had a private double with a shared bathroom, and although very small it was comfortable enough. The pillow has perhaps seen better days, but the A/C was a life saver! Spending the days walking around town and doing some gentle exploring, the nights were largely spent for myself at least in the bar area downstairs. It’s a small but perfectly functional area, and in all honesty wasn’t the screaming mess of teenagers away from home for the first time that I had been expecting. At 3 euros a pint I was certainly very happy to sit and read whilst various cool young things did their thing in the background. Declining participation in the pub crawl for a second time, I was tempted with the tapas tasting but plans for the night changed due to friends arriving a day early and diner reservations being made. From a comfort point of view, our bathroom was shared between three double rooms I believe on the third floor, and this was never an issue. I attribute this to the fact that we were likely on very different schedules with us going out for the day and back for the night, as opposed to the perhaps more night based activities of our fellow residents. Bedroom like I said small, but hey, who cares, we weren’t here to sit in a room all day. The breakfast was absolutely fine, and for 5 euros a day you really cannot complain. All in all very happy with my stay, though peeking into an open dorm room one day my god I wouldn’t have survived the week unless you could take 25 years off me! Good job though overall Sant Jordi, and I’d certainly consider staying again - safe, friendly and somewhere I’m sure 20 year old me would have had a blast!

The place they are located is very convenient, the rooms and beds are clean, the only problem is that some of the beds, like bed 5, it is right next to the door and when I open the door it is not easy to open the storage space under the bed does not open at the same time . The storage cabinet bucket won't lock even though I've used the lock. There are not enough tools for hanging clothes in the bathroom, so please bring your own plastic bags to prevent your clothes from getting wet, and the push-button faucet is completely inconvenient and water will flow out if you don't push it.

We were supposed to stay at the apartment for 4 nights in May 2023. Unfortunately, we had to leave the apartment after spending just the one night there. Upon arrival, the early signs were good. Though it was slightly overcomplicated to check into the apartments, requiring you to scan your photo ID (in our case passport) into a touch screen device, once in the apartment we found it to be spacious and well equipped, with plenty of room in the wardrobes for hangers to hang your clothes. We stayed in room 1.01. We had an issue with the safe and accidentally set the alarm off, but upon calling the apartment's telephone number this was quickly resolved. Unfortunately after that, the experience was a nightmare. The apartment is in a lively part of the city, which is good as you're in close proximity to the many restaurants and bars. However, the noise from the street is unbearable. The apartment is located directly next to a tourist attraction, one of the trams that goes up and down continuously. We'd read reviews beforehand that stated it was a little noisy, but were completely unprepared for what we experienced. The first time we heard the noise it sounded like an aeroplane flying about 10m above the building, and this, combined with the fact the 25E tram runs directly past the apartment as well, meant that with no exaggeration the noise occurred every 5 minutes from about 6.30am in the morning. This was reason enough to want to leave, but there was much worse. We had arrived on a relatively late flight and so didn't end up going to bed until around 11.30pm-midnight. As we attempted to go to sleep, my wife became aware of what was very clearly the sound of rodents in the ceiling above our room. The continuously scuttling noise went on throughout the evening and my wife, who is terrified of rodents, was unable to sleep at all that evening. For these reasons, we informed the apartment the next morning that we were booking alternative accommodation for our remaining three evenings, which ended up costing us nearly £700. The manager attempted to offer us an alternative room, but as my wife was so upset we had already decided to check out and leave the hotel. We couldn't check in to our new accommodation until 3pm, so tried to make the most of the morning by doing some sightseeing, before leaving later that day. To give the customer facing staff some credit, they were very pleasant when we emailed them and explained to them that the level of service we had received was well below our expectations of the apartment. However, though they sympathised, they were completely unwilling to offer us a refund on our remaining stay, despite us offering to also pay for the second day as the short notice would have meant they would have not been able to offer the room to anyone else. They kept referring to the 'administration' who would not authorise them to refund us. Eventually, we stated that if we didn't receive a refund we'd be forced to share our experienc

Super einfallsreiches Konzept, welches ich so bisher noch nirgends gesehen habe. Ein Mix aus Hostel und Hotel, wundervolle Einrichtung, man fühlt sich überall wohl, alles lädt zum verweilen ein. Ich denke dass man hier gut arbeiten und entspannen kann. Super eingerichtet, tolle Küche, Innenhof mit Pool, top Terrasse und sehr gutes Restaurant. Die Preise im Restaurant sind voll ok, für Portugal im allg recht teuer. Es gibt viele vegane / vegetarische Optionen, was sehr cool ist! Lage ist auch gut. Die Betten ein Traum, so bequem. Man bekommt auch noch super süße Bändchen. Kleiner Minuspunkt war dass die Sauberkeit noch etwas besser sein konnte und wenn etwas kaputt ist, dass es ersetzt oder erneuert wird

Loved Wot Patio! Great position close to metros which links to rail and bus. Close to marquis da Pombal and the Avenida da liberdade. So if you’re a walker you can walk anywhere from here or catch the metro. Great local restaurants full of Portuguese one street over from the Avenida. Safe area, clean and friendly. Includes a carb loaded brekky and coffee etc and has a nice breakfast outdoor area. Plus a lounge and TV area Europa football was on when I was there so it was a fun atmosphere. I was made welcome and the young people always had time for a chat with a mature age traveler! I’d stay again! Request a bottom bunk for better comfort and privacy and convenience.

Bedsheets not clean properly. Toilet very dirty due to more people. But Tawosh was very friendly .

I am deeply dissatisfied with the online booking service offered by Zenhotels. I made a reservation for what I thought would be a private room with 2 pets allowed and made a payment of 97 euros, which according to the booking confirmation received, was the total amount for the reservation. I was supposed to only pay 6 euros for the tourist tax and 10 euros per pet for the entire stay. Upon arrival at the hotel (WOT Lisbon Nomad), I was informed that the reservation I had made did not correspond to a private room and that in order to get one, I would have to pay an additional 234.51 euros on top of the already paid 97 euros (this would be for the upgrade to a private room + 10 euros per day per pet). Obviously, this news at the time of check-in and with such a price difference (more than three times the original value) makes it almost impossible for the customer to seek an alternative. Furthermore, I tried to explain to the hotel that the website was not very clear about private or shared rooms, as the room description did not indicate that it was shared. Additionally, it did not mention that the payment for the pets was per day rather than for the entire stay. The person responded that if the website did not have complete information, it was not the hotel's problem. I countered that if they were selling their services through third parties, they are just as responsible as the website promoting them to ensure that the information is accurate; otherwise, they are complicit in a scheme to deceive customers. Finally, I decided not to proceed with the proposal because I found it disrespectful, an excessive charge compared to the original offer, and unprofessional. Therefore, I feel that I was cheated out of the 97 euros that I paid and that I could not use the offered service.

We landed here from a cancelled easyjet flight, staff were so understanding when we arrived. Breakfast and dinner was included in our stay and was a buffet style with a great selection. Room was very spacious and clean. A 1 minute walk away from metro entrance and supermarket.

The location is perfect where is very close to MRT. There are restaurants and grocery stores near the hotel quite convenient The room is correspondence to the star rating. The pillow is a bit smelly. However, the bathroom is very clean.

What more can I say? Best hotel in Expo Lisbon. Very convenient location and close to all attractions. Friendly staff and impeccable room with river view. Will definitely be back
