Guest Reviews
- Luis Daniel (7/5): - El alojamiento estaba bien, al final yo solo lo usé de dormitorio porque fui en un viaje de trabajo Lo que no me gustó es que tenía muchísimo olor a humedad y la mala suerte es que me da muchísima alergia la humedad !!
- Cláudia (7/5): Alojamento ideal para o que pretendia. Segunda vez que faço reserva. -
- Jean claude (1/5): A EVITER ABSOLUMENT - L emplacement .le sèche cheveux Appartement C .L'HUMIDITÉ , chambre ressemblant à un préfabriqué, un taux d'humidité je pense et j' en suis certain à 99.9%.Le lit imbibé d' humidité, on a l'impression qu' il est tout moite. Sol glacial. Je ne comprends pas comment c est possible de pouvoir louer un appartement pareil. Je suis déçu 😞 très déçu ...... je suis responsable d avoir pris cet appartement car je n ai pas pris le temps de lire les avis qui sont tout autant éloquent. Et pour terminer j ai clairement perdu 116 euros 😭
- Filipe (8/5): -
- Cristian (1/5): Pessimo e squallodo - non era affatto come prospertato, occupato da un gruppo di ucraino che fumavano e imbrattavano ovunque con le loro cose essendosi impossessati della cucina, la camera erra allocaca fuori nel giardino dello stabile, maleodorante e con muffa! Neanche nei peggiori bassifondi pakistani ho visto cose del genere. Delusione totatle che valuterei come truffa. Praticamente non mi e’ piaciuto tutto
- Arte no Tempo (5/5): -
- visa (10/5): -
- Samit (1/5): Bad apartment condition - Location is near to metro station Apartment is very very old and in very bad condition.
Bathroom are not attached which they never mentioned.
Kitchen is shared

- Franco (4/5): Outros ocupantes tornaram a estadia desagradavel, decepcionado... - A localização é boa, numa zona tranquila e com estacionamento gratuito. O acesso aos transportes publicos é muito bom. O Estadio da Luz fica a 20 minutos a pé. O quarto e a casa de banho privativa estavam limpos. A estadia foi perturbada pelos ocupantes dos outros quartos ( 4 homens ) que andavam de tronco nu e deixavam as portas abertas dos seus quartos e casas de banho, com promiscuidade. Infelizmente a minha mulher sentiu-se desconfortavel e insegura.
- Henrik (8/5): -
- Silva (8/5): -
- Flor (5/5): - Localização era excelente! Era calmo e limpo! Achei que tinha reservado um apartamento, mas era aluguer de quartos.
- Salvatore (6/5): Bagno privato ma non in camera. - Vicinanza fermata autobus Mi dispiace essere negativo ma abbiamo scoperto il giorno prima del nostro arrivo che il bagno seppur privato non era in camera ( COSA NON SEGNALATA NELL’ ANNUNCIO) e visto il nostro disappunto, dopo vari messaggi, la proprietà ci ha spostato in un’altra struttura con bagno in camera ma in tutt’altra zona della città. Se nell’annuncio ci fosse stato specificato che il bagno non era in camera avremmo evitato il nostro disagio.
- Marques Padeiro (9/5): -
- Hung (7/5): Good for a night stay before the flight - Easy to find parking space for car. Near train terminal. Shared apartment entry and kitchen. No AC.
- Lesley (3/5): Clean but spartan. - No breakfast. not much to like really No comfy chairs or lounge area. Designed for multiple occupancy.We were the only ones there at the time, but if there were others it would have been intolerable, with no privacy etc
- Francisco (8/5): Comfortable, cozy clean and with a great location - Location was perfect Internet coverage wasn’t good in my room
- Ganga (8/5): Very good -
- Graeme (8/5): weekend in Lisbon - location, it was what it said it was .
good value for money
- Alma (10/5): Exceptional -
- Abdulrasak (8/5): Very good -
- Gerald (5/5): Passable - Close to university
- Celina (8/5): Very good -
- Karla (7/5): Very simple, bathroom not joint to the room, bit noisy. - The location is good, really close to a metro/train that goes to/from Sintra to/from city center, easy to manage. Facility also has all appliances we need (washing machine, refrigerator, oven, etc) and also makes our lives easier. Several groceries stores around and good brazilian restaurant close to it. Although it had a private bathroom, it was not joint to the room. Meaning that every single time we needed to use the bathroom we needed to get out of the room to the corridor and take the keys. It was not clear when I booked. Also the room is really close to the train station, meaning that it is noisy most of the time (including at night til maybe midnight).
- Adnan (1/5): Bad -
- Connie (8/5): - We really enjoyed our room, #4, the room and private bathroom in a separate building through the kitchen. The room is small, but we were able to open 2 large suitcases and 2 smaller carry on suitcases. There were a couple of small issues which were fixed the next day...very quickly looked after. Super location, just a few minutes walk from the train station and many bus routes. We found a great restaurant where they spoke English just down the street, Restaurante Churrasqueira O Franquinho, with reasonable Portuguese food.
- Ruth (6/5): Pleasant -
- Abdelrahman (7/5): Good -
- Lucy (2/5): Very poor -
- Natalie (6/5): - Vorab zum Verständnis:
Die Wohnung bietet 3 Zimmer. Ein Zimmer davon ist außerhalb der Wohnung. Man muss durch die Küche auf die "Terasse" gehen und dort ist dann der Zugang zum zusätzlichen Zimmer. Jedes Zimmer hat ein eigenes zugewiesenes Bad. Die Küche teilen sich alle. Man ist also maximal zu 6. in der Unterkunft.
Pro:
Eine S-Bahn-Station ist super nah an der Unterkunft. Man braucht nur ca 15min ins Zentrum. Abfahrten sind sehr regelmäßig, auch am Sonntag.
In der Küche gibt es eine Waschmaschine und man hat ein eigenes Bad für sich, das man abschließen kann. Genauso wie das eigene Zimmer. Ein Bügelbrett mit Bügeleisen steht ebenfalls zur Verfügung. Im Kühlschrank ist genug Platz. Der Kleiderschrank bietet auch viel Stauraum. Und es gibt Rollos.
Contra:
Die Unterkunft liegt leider an einer viel befahrenen Straße und die Zugschienen der S-Bahn verlaufen parallel. Nachts war es nicht möglich, mit offenem Fenster zu schlafen - es war einfach zu laut. Allerdings war es durch das geschlossene Fenster dann zu warm. Wenn man das Fenster auf hat, macht die Tür bei jedem Auto, das vorbei fährt, Geräusche durch den "Zugwind" der entsteht.
Die Sauberkeit der Unterkunft war grundsätzlich gut, aber es gab Schimmel. Zum Beispiel im Bad an der Badewanne oder am Spiegel und im Besteckkasten der Spülmaschine.
Der Duschkopf blieb nicht aufrecht oben in der Verankerung, man muss sich manuell damit abduschen und der Klodeckel war locker.
- Ralph (2/5): please see above. Thank you. - none.
Booking.com is misleading people like us with wrong pictures and descriptions of the rooms you advertise. Room is so small and hardly any ventilation and couldn’t get even a nights sleep. Entrance door cannot be opened fully and knocks on the bed. At the door to the room my wife tripped twice and hurt her knee. Outside the room the door called terrace was wet and slippery at times due to a leaking hose. Cannot leave the window open as we saw insects around the door. No screen to prevent any insects coming in. Honestly I think you should refund at least one day charges because we just wasted the three nights without any comfort at all. I have pictures if you like to see that we can send.
- Julija (10/5): Exceptional - I liked it a lot, nice personal. Very good service and good communication with their clients. Thank you for all support. I really recommend this hotel to all.
