Lisbon City Hotel

Well... In course of our 2-week-tour around Portugal we stayed with six hotels incl. this one (it's reasonable to mention them all here to be correct and comparative - Lisboa Legendary Suites, Stay Faro, Dom Dinis Marvao, Stay Coimbra and Porto Coliseum and final point before flying away- this Lisbon City Hotel - all of them are less or more with the same rates and within the same categories) and therefore I could clearly and objectively state the benefits and disadvantages of each one visited by us. However, this place just achieved the lowest rating of all possible since it was the ugliest living lodgement ever met on our route... Trying to mention this hotel's strong points we could define only: 1) space dedicated to have breakfast (you are to be ready in advance that in Portugal in 95% of all hotels the eating area is very-very small indeed :( - it's like in beautiful family hotels in Prague with one clear difference... - there, the number of rooms could be totally just 6-10; and in Portugal - 4-5-fold of that); here, at least, the whole basement is suited for these purposes; 2) Wi-Fi functions less or more reliably. And factually the list of its benefits is exhaustive; all the rest concerning this "hotel"... is awful...just awful....

1) Its location... Would you like to stay just 15 meters!!! from a place where there is a point for feeding all homeless persons in the whole Lisbon?! It's not a joke or fantasy - it's just a matter of fact with which you could imagine surroundings and odour. Thus, welcome to this "hotel" in such a case... It's completely surrounded by such points (just look also across the street, to the left side of the square in front of the hotel) and… the same center but…for migrants this time… Therefore, the concentration of drunk persons and "strange" social elements of all kinds in its vicinity is tremendous and really frightening at any time of the day. 2) The cleanness of common spaces & corridors is so arguable as if it were never washed completely. 3) The carpeting and floor-mates are so old and dirty as if you were travelling through years... maybe, 10-15 years ago... The towels were not white (don't even dream of that) but firmly grey and so thin that seemed to signal to operations team many years!!! ago - it's high time to change us... The bathroom of ours was with some oiled black stains?! It was so astonishing whether anyone had factually seen them before our check-in. Bedclothes... well, hope, at least, that huge yellow stain was not provoked by something except... tea... :) 4) There is only ONE elevator and every time you try to use it - just wait... and wait... 5) The personnel are so lazy that instead of settling any practical issue they prefer to repeat a one-time learned text of their instructions... 6) And, finally, it was the unique place in Portugal where (despite all information provided in course of booking) they TWICE tried to receive our money before our arrival... even months in advance... And finishing your two-week tour (if you have the same opportunity to live, e.g.
