City Inn

Clean and good with excellent money valie

The locationwas noisy from outside. Street voices

It was cheaper than other properties.

I asked for extra towels, and was given them every day. Then I noticed that my face towel had my foundation on it - it was just re-folded and put out as if it were fresh. Not cool.

Location

It was advertised as double bed but we got two single beds, unjoined

Perfect position to move everywhere

The hotel had been done up recently and was kept beautifully clean by the staff. The two gentlemen I met who were in charge were very friendly and efficient. The hotel has no reception so you have to phone one of the owners to check you in, but this was very easy as they also run a nearby hotel. Everything worked and the bedding and towels were very clean. There were spare pillows in the room as well as a hairdryer if so desired. The hotel is in the Moorish quarter, which allows that culture to be experienced. There were no bars serving alcohol in the very near proximity, which meant that there were no noisy drunken shenanigans outside to disturb your sleep. Obviously a short walk away from this quarter took you to many bars if you wanted (and we did). I liked the fact that the old tram ran just outside below my window from time to time (day only) which added to the Lisbon experience greatly. Oh and there is a working lift, which was very welcome.

I suppose the lack of eating facilities was a negative point. A basic breakfast would have been perfect, but the hotel price reflects this. Also, although the electric lock on the front door was very good, there was always a nagging doubt that other guests may have not been so careful in shutting the door. However the room locks themselves were very sturdy and robust, and gave a great sense of security.

Ideally located near all tourist attractions and places I wanted to visit. Most only a short walk away. The staff were friendly and the room was cleaned regularly. Perfect place to stay

Lack of kettle tea/coffee making facilities. Single beds were very small, they were comfy in the main but if you rolled over they weren’t. I felt the price was overinflated for the standard of the room.
