Not a 5 stars Hotel at all!! The location is near to the Metro but nothing to see around the area.
In order to get to the center, you must take a public transportation or pay for the open roof buses which are complicated and expensive.
By Metro takes 15 min (taking into account walk and wait too). You take the Yellow Line, and then get off on Marquez to tale the blue line and get off on Rossio (important: the Rossio and the Reconstruction station are the same). Each way 1.30€ or 6€ for the 24 hours ticket. The station is open from 6am to 7pm.
You can also take the AirBus very near the Hotel, which is like a regular bus but with a route thought for tourist. This bus takes you right to Rossio and cost 3.50€ for 24 hours ticket. This bus is every 25 minutes.
If fits your budget, book an hotel at the Rossio Area which is the Antique Zone, and most beautiful.
The Metro/Bus station for the Hotel is Campo Pequenho. All transportation go through this station.
The breakfast at this Hotel is 20€ (?!?!), super expensive! However,
You can ask for an electric kettle at the reception (the room does not offer one but it is by request only) and buy things for breakfast at a 4 blocks supermarket. We asked for plates, forks, knives and cups downstairs at the bar.
You might have lunch and dinner out in the city although around the hotel you would find less expensive meals. Per person might be around 9€ for a chicken breast/ salmon, salad, rice and potatoes + water.
The rooms are good but nothing amazing! In our case, the control remote did not work, the TV did not have Spanish channels and we had problems with the sink (water dis not go down).
The pool is nice, it is open from 8am to 8pm, the water is cold and there is sun until 4pm. Getting to the pool is like a joke, you must go down to the reception, from there take a different elevator to floor number one and then another elevator to P. Towels you ask at the reception.
There is wi-fi but very bad reception at the rooms. Very good reception at the pool and reception.
For the spa you must pay. As an example, massage were 80€ per hour.
The staff is very nice, but the whole experience was not pleasant. read more
