Lisbon Art Stay (maybe it used to be short stay?) is a clean and well-appointed, affordable place to stay in Lisbon with a great central location. The front desk is 24/7 (even on Christmas), so people are there if you ever need anything.
There is also water and fruit/treats up front most of the time, which is nice.
I'd say the decor is quirky with a hip twist- kinda artsy, funky vibes. But some of the "funky" doesn't translate well. For example, there were only two full sized pillows on our bed (and my husband needs two of his own). The other throw pillows would have been okay to use, except they had a metallic/sparkly fabric that was quite scratchy. So... not great for use- really just decorative.
The hallways are a little bit loud because of all the mirror/tile surfaces. (No carpet anywhere means noises just reverberated everywhere).
We wanted to try drinks and dessert at the bar, but we were only in there on Christmas Day, and they had some sort of private party plus tons of customers for their prix fixe dinner, so we were ignored for a good 15-20 minutes and we gave up.
Our room was ultra clean, and the place was quite affordable- so that is why I gave it four stars. read more
