O Elétrico Guesthouse

Room, toilets and communal areas were pretty clean, room was big enough, bed was comfortable, sheets were clean. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Air conditioning was working, but it wasn't hot so I didn't use it that much. Location really convenient, close the bus and metro stations. Since I stayed there when the general strike was taking place, you can be at Rossio in 20 mins walking, which is really good. There was also many restaurants, convenient shops and a Lidl really close. Overall, very pleasant stay, if I go again I'd probably stay there again!

The staff is very kind and helpful. Not much in the way of amenities but was perfect for our needs.

The location is more for the traveler than the tourist. I love the location. It is central and historic. The majority of the population is Bangladesh. The variety of food and vicinity to subway is all very good. If a few street people bother you you might want to pay more and get an upper middle to high end travel experience.

The guesthouse is a group of rooms in an older apartment building located in slightly rough neighborhood. The entrance requires a key code of which I was not advised. The reception area is on the second (first in Europe) floor again behind a locked door. You must ring a doorbell to be let in. Access TV the guest rooms themselves again requires a keycode that you're given at check in. The building is not accessible, there is no elevator, and the stairs are narrow and steep. I booked a small room with twin bed, with access to a shared bathroom. The room was clean but cheaply furnished. The mattress was very hard. Air conditioning was good. The shared bathroom is large and has toilet, lavatory, and shower. The shower is small. Hot water is VERY slow to arrive. There are no shelves, benches, or tables on which to place toiletries or linens. At the price, it was acceptable, but barely. I can't recommend this for anyone but fit, adventurous travelers.
