Esqina Urban Lodge

The Hotel is a listed building and most of the Hotels on the street are too , but this Hotel has managed to put in a lift, in, you have to climb a few steps first with your suitcase which is not steep at all before locating the lift. Most rooms will have some sort of city view. The Hotel has a comfortable bed with a large tv. You have an open wardrobe with only 6 hangers but you make do, bath room has a shower toilet and a sink and is lovely and clean. The Hotel on arrival gives you a code to get in and out and also a key code for your room so no keys or key card needed. Just take a picture of the codes for reference. This Hotel is in the middle of every attraction you would like to see, turning left or right does not matter. The Grand walk front Plaza is around. 5 to 10 minutes walk. Boat trips are available to book to look at monuments . We did the hop and off bus which took us to Belem which is a must to see. Staff here are amazing and make your stay feel very warming and welcoming , English speaking too.

I have nothing to say negative about the Hotel.

Central location, clean and beds comfortable. Reception staff very friendly, polite and helpful. Luggage storage was good and having an elevator was a bonus.

Not much floor space for suitcases. Individual cubicles for shower and toilet a bit awkward if not sharing with your partner.

There was no coffee make in the room but there was a coffee machine on the 5th floor where you could get coffee any time. The folks working the desk were awesome.

Location

The room was so extremely small it was hard to move.
