Lisbon Center Apartments

The location was great. The apparemment is a very good place to be with family.

Very good location indeed. Elevator available. Comfortable beds. Most probably interior designer had planned things inside. Staff very helpful, accommodating and very quick in replying/answering to requests.

There was a problem with the gas heater - it would not always lit and warm up the water. Also, not possible to have two people showering at the same time - not enough hot water. Bar table in the dining area is rather small so not that comfortable for 5-6 people to have breakfast together.

Great location.

The heater is not working properly and sometimes there was no hot water in the middle of our showers.

Location and design

Some furnitures need to be fixed

The location was great.

Unfortunately this apartment didn’t live up to our expectations or the cost of our stay, even with the central location. here’s why: 1) despite asking on three occasions, we were given no advice on where would be best to park up briefly to do a bag drop before moving the car to a car park. This necessitated some delicate negotiation with the local police as I had to take a bit of a wild guess 2) The apartment finish was quite tired and under-par for the type of property, central location and cost. For example, the bathroom sink had a massive crack in it that looked like it happened a while ago judging by the dirt in the cracks. The general feel of the place was that it had last been refurbished a good while ago and is in need of a refresh 3) The sofa bed was beyond a joke. It creaked whenever the occupant moved and the mattress was about 2” thick so you could feel all the slats beneath it. We ended up building a makeshift mattress on the floor out of sofa cushions, a blanket and the thin mattress to sleep on 4) The double bed was woefully narrow for an apartment with such a relatively luxury price. The room could easily have taken a wider bed and we would have been much more comfortable for it 5) If you’re unfortunate to get noisy people in the apartment above as we were, you’ll hear every step they make as they walk around their apartment (in our case at 3am for over an hour and a half!). Our hosts did have a word with the people who own the apartment and the next night was a bit quieter 6) If you want to use the coffee capsules provided in the apartment, you’ll need to pay €0.50 per capsule. No complimentary coffee here - again despite the premium price Overall, this apartment is a triumph of booking.com presentation over reality. Sure, you get the great location and the hosts were responsive enough when contacted to deal with the noise and non-functioning air conditioning but generally falls well short of expectation.
