Hotel berhampiran Caminho da aliança, Vila Franca De Xira

VIP somente no nome O atendimento deixa muito a desejar, €10 pelo café da manhã por pessoa. Se precisar de um utensílio, como uma colher, uma taça ou algo do tipo vão cobrar uma taxa de serviço de €5 o que não faz sentido eu COMPREI no mercado continente uma taça por €1,5 achei um descaso com os hóspedes, não tem absolutamente nenhum utensílio no quarto e se você pedir emprestado só pagando. A cama eu me senti em um dorama dormindo em um tatame no chão, sério a cama mais DESCONFORTÁVEL, dura que já dormi em um hotel, até o Ibis que é muito mais barato. Tem uma cama melhor, VIP apenas no nome, eles se auto intitulam VIP mas não são! Acordei o banheiro fedia a esgoto, deve ter algum retorno, eu reclamei e não se ofereceram nem pra me trocar de quarto. Longe do dentro de Lisboa, sem trânsito pelo menos meia hora, em horário d épico passa de uma hora pra chegar lá 😢

Lovely and close to the airport, a late check-in, staff were delightful, she even came to my room to help me with the wndow, the handle was broken so it would not close properly. Toilet, seat was loose... Nice room, but a bit of road noise with open window. Breakfast was great and at €9.50 very reasonable, good selection and even a fresh orange squeezing machine. If you have an early morning flight, seriously consider this place. No stress about 10am checkout 👍

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!
