Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited breakfast variety — While breakfast is generally praised as delicious and plentiful, one guest noted they expected more variety, and another described it as 'good value' rather than exceptional.
- Small property, few rooms — With only 8 rooms, the guesthouse may feel intimate, but availability can be limited during peak times.
- Location is slightly outside the historic core — Though the metro is steps away, some guests note that the guesthouse is a bit far from downtown Lisbon, requiring a short ride to the main sights.
- Shared bathrooms in some rooms — One review mentions shared bathrooms, implying that not all rooms have private facilities.

9.1Verified guest“Fantastic location, close to a Metro stop. The staff were excellent—friendly and helpful. Our room was beautifully clean, brand-new, and had a comfortable bed. We loved the tea provided, and the food was delicious.”
9.1Verified guest“My stay was amazing. The cleanliness was exceptional—the staff clearly take great care. Being right in front of a metro station and close to the business area was very convenient. I could even bring my takeout dinner from the nearby market and eat it at the hotel. Staff went out of their way to help and gave great dinner and sightseeing tips. Basic amenities were clean and well-kept. My only wish was for more towel-drying racks and clothes hangers. Breakfast was decent value, though I'd have liked more variety. Overall, a fantastic experience.”
9.1Verified guest“The staff were kind and made us feel very welcome, with excellent recommendations for sightseeing and dining. The location near Avenida da Liberdade and the metro made exploring easy. Rooms were comfortable and clean, and they clearly worked to keep noise down. The shared sitting/eating area was a lovely spot to relax and enjoy meals. Despite a couple of small drawbacks, I'd highly recommend this guesthouse for its service and value.”
