Great location but NOISY!
Stayed for 5 nights a few days ago. Pretty basic hotel, small room with no counter space in bathroom. Location can’t be beat. Few minutes away from Restaurodores and Rossio squares. Lots of restaurants and shopping a few steps away. However that is a double edged sword.
We were at the second floor, towards the front, and even with the shutters and glass windows closed, we can still hear people in the restaurants across the narrow alley in front, dishes and silverware clinking up to way past midnight. After it gets bearable in the early morning, here comes a garbage truck! On a few nights there was even a street singer, ugh! We also couldn’t adjust the AC/heater for the first 4 nights and it was stuffy so we ended having to crack open the windows, even with the noises, which I could still hear even with earplugs. We told the front desk and the guy said the thermostat is centrally controlled so we can’t do anything about it. Thankfully on our last night they disabled the central controls and we were able to adjust the thermostat and keep the windows closed. I don’t mind basic hotels but lesson learned here, ask for a room at the back!
