Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable, with a nice view, and efficiently kept clean. The air conditioning worked perfectly, making my stay very pleasant. However, the hotel is far from the center of Lisbon, which could be a downside for some travelers. The service was excellent, and the location, almost under the 25 de Abril bridge on the Tagus River, was unique and intriguing.
The hotel is located under the main bridge in Lisbon near the 25 de Abril bridge on the Tagus River, providing a unique setting. The rooms offer excellent acoustic isolation, ideal for 2 adults + 2 children, and are efficiently cleaned with working air conditioning. The service is attentive and accommodating, offering convenient amenities like room service, car hire, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and laundry. Although the location may be a bit far from the center of Lisbon, it offers a beautiful view and easy access to the bridge. The dining experience, while not included, presents local meat delicacies with a stunning view of Bridge 25 Abril. The facilities are well-equipped to ensure a pleasant stay with value for money considerations in mind.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel located below a major bridge with a metallic road in Lisbon, almost under the 25 de Abril bridge on the Tagus River. The rooms were efficiently clean, had isolated acoustic isolation, working air conditioning, and offered a nice view. The service was satisfactory with available room service, car hire, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and laundry services. The location was enjoyable, near the river with easy access to the Explorers monument. However, it was a bit far from the center of Lisbon. The dining experience was good, especially with the Hungarian beef stew. Overall, a value-for-money option with some distance from the city center.

The rooms were efficiently kept clean with all necessary comforts, though lacking a terrace or balcony. The service was accommodating, offering room service, car hire, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and laundry options. On the downside, the location was far from the center of Lisbon and adjacent to a noisy railway track. Dining, with a view of the Bridge 25 Abril, offered quality smoked fish. Overall, a mixed experience where the value for money was noticeable but compromised by the noisy surroundings.
The hotel is conveniently located almost under the 25 de Abril bridge on the Tagus River, offering a unique setting. The rooms are comfortable and well-insulated for a peaceful stay.
