Hotel berhampiran Nobre Povo, Lisbon

We arrived after a long day travelling and struggled to find the entrance. The address on Expedia is 234 but should be 236. The entrance was hidden by the long queue of people waiting for the Ascensor. It was only when I saw 2 ladies bending over a door code machine that we realised - on the Rua San Paolo, to the left of the Ascensor entrance is a recessed doorway. It currently has a glitter ball lamp and appears to be a bistro. There is a heavy glass door on the left and a door code machine. The sign for the Serviced Apartments is etched at ankle height so not too helpful! In the daytime you might notice another sign but it’s quite high up. However, the place is clean and well equipped and we’ve found it remarkably quiet at night. The Cais do Sodre transport interchange is a 5 min walk away making navigating the city straightforward.

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 hostel has a great location. Just next to it there is a big carpark if you come by car and at the side it also has an ATM. Metro and buss station really close by. On the back street there are plenty of local pastrys, restaurants and small shops. The stuff is friendly and helpfull. Bed is comfortable and it's super handy that you have 2 sockets and a ”night light” just above your pillow. You also get a locker that's under the beds - this is big and great to store your stuff till the point where you roomates come late or leave very early and then it makes a really loud noise. The showers were not so clean but i've seen worse, at least you get soap dispensers that actualy have soap in them and there is also a hair dryer in the bathroom. The wifi power is great and works well everywhere in the hostel. The terrace is really nicely designed and a great place to socialise on the days that it's not extremely windy 😆

Beautiful place, one of the nicest looking hospits ever. Location was perfect. The service in the reception was really nice, Even though they got our booking wrong and we had to get rooms away from our children (Whom we booked the rooms with). The food in the restaurant was nice, the coffie not, and unfortunally the service there was not like the rest of the house. Also 3 Euros for a coffie without taste is not a good price in a hospits. Lots of lovely travellers and things happening throughout the day. There was Dj and parties till 2 in the morning so bring earplugs. No aircondition in the rooms made it impossible to close the Windows. Still, if you are a young traveller, this will feel like luxury compated to other hospits.

Definitely worth the money! Although the studio is not located in the city center, you can easily reach most of the famous sightseeing either by foot or by public transport or Bolt/Uber/taxi. The service is great, and the facilities are amazing! There is a museum close by which is about puppets, and I enjoyed it a lot. There is also a small restaurant nearby called El rey d Carlos, if you stay here please do try the octopus rice (which is only €9) and the dessert there, you won't regret it!

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.

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.

During the stay, there was an event happening, but the service quality was maintained and quickly responded. The only is the HK team rang the bell a few times during the day time to check if the service needed.

We loved every minute of our stay there, this had become our hotel in Lisbon for the last 2 years Great newly refurbished hotel, located on a hill overlooking the ocean and the Lisbon golf. Rooms are fairly sized (circa 35sqm), and half are facing the ocean view. The staff is very friendly, available, and helpful. The hotel has plenty of free parking, and 1 heated 25m long pool, a spa, a 20 m external pool, next to a bar and a kids wadding pool. The rooms are well insulated, you can't hear a noise and spotless This hotel is just pure serenity, despite being locates 26mns drive from the center, I prefer to stay here and relax and drive RT to the city.

Rating 0/5 - Exceptions to this RATING - Are the polite & extremely helpful Jessica @ the front desk & Andre the Rooms Manager who went out of their respective ways to meet any requirements needed. Firstly, my reservation was booked 2 months prior yet NO NOTIFICATION that the Hotel name & brand had changed a couple weeks prior. With a few street signs & the massive New Name signage on the hotel marquis , I was not notified of the NH Re- Branding. I was told that ALL guests were notified of this Change of Corporate Re- Branding . When I explain this to the Day front Desk Manager his reply was nothing they can do as it all comes from Head Office (poor apology ). I checked all previous correspondence & no such emails were received by me despite being assured that notifications were sent to all arriving guests! After an 8 hour flight from Toronto Canada & driving past the hotel 3 times up & down one way streets, finally parked & asked where is the Tivoli Sintra Hotel? I was directed in its direction. Jessica @ the front desk walked back with me to my car ( got in with my wife & I ) & guided us through the streets to the hotel. Wonderful ! Andre was most attentive & any request was followed through with the expertise & care of a 5 star manager (a hand written note expressing his desire to be of service should we require anything) was in our room . COMMENDABLE! Now my rating is based not on these two wonderful caring staff But the other staff & room encounters. The shower head kept falling down on the bar so could only be used by hand . The evening front desk manager came to the room & apologizing said it would be repaired in the morning, still not corrected by next day. I asked for 4 towels as the shower floor was soaking wet ( said could give us ONLY 2 ) from the ill functioning shower-head, also the sink faucet spout that spewed water over the entire area (poor design) choice. The house maid came & cleaned entire bathroom that evening so we could still use it the next day - lovely lady despite no English we gestured what was required and she met our expectations. The following day we went @9:30 pm for a late light dinner. After being seated by a bus boy who did not provide us with table settings, we waited 10 minutes as the Waiter walked by us twice with no acknowledgment as to our presence (saying he would be with us momentarily would have been considerate). He proceeded to serve another table 3 feet from us, who were asking for additional drinks as they were obviously there for some time dining. We finally got up from the table & in dismay the waiter looked at us. We stated that being ignored & as guests of the hotel were upset with this level of disrespect & lack of hospitality professionalism. Lastly, I had sent an email at the time of booking advising of this being a special 70 th Birthday trip for my wife, to the hotel Manager that any niceties that could be offered would be appreciated. Not even a note ! As I am writing this in our Fig
