bathroom was dirty, staff didn't know much about the city, and the room smelled of wet dirty clothes. breakfast was over 40 minutes before scheduled time, and we were given a hard time about late check out.

A female receptionist was very rude with us, while the others were very kind.

I will surely stay at Residencial Italia next time. The relation quality/price is excellent, and even though it is not located in the center of Lisbon, it's really easy to get there by bus (15'), metro (10') or just walking (35'). The staff was kind and helpful. And the lady of the breakfast was more than lovely!!!close

The breakfast was kind of a let down to me... only protein offered was ham, nothing more. Far to walk with luggage from the metro's, so I recommend getting a cab. The nearby park and museum give it a decent location. There was mold in the shower on the walls, and my room looked into an office which made me want to leave the curtains closed. It was decent, but too much money I think.close

Sparkling clean, super-friendly staff, nice neighborhood. It's true that it's a little outside the center, but we actually liked this because it was in a nice and safe area away from noise and partying, but with many great transportation options (including airport bus).

I would highly recommend this place, even though it's a bit away from the city center and the night life, it is well connected by the metro. It is more like a hotel than a hostel.close

It is clean (although there seemed to be a problem with ants in the bathroom), the staff are friendly and generally helpful, and it's a good price. The primary negative is that it is nowhere near the true city center (a good 15 minute car drive away). We would leave the hotel for the entire to tour the center, as it is not very practical to go back and forth between the two throughout the day. Still, if you have a car or not mind the commute, it's a good bargain.close

The hotel was very clean and well kept, it looked new. You do need to take a bus or metro to sightsee, but it is about 1 euro to use the public transpotation.
