Feeling Eduardo VII Bewertungen

Since I like to be thorough, here's a list of the pros and cons of our stay at Feeling Eduardo VII... Plus points: *Hosts Nuno and Ana Paula are very helpful and friendly, offering advice and recommendations and promptly getting you anything you need. *Location, location, location! With the San Sebastião metro literally right outside the front door, the hotel was perfectly placed for us when catching the red line from the airport direct to the hotel and when leaving Lisbon from Santa Apolónia railway station, which is the last stop on the blue line. Almost all of the city-centre sights you'll want to see are served by the blue line as well, and even if not, there are easy connections to the green and yellow lines, trams, trains and buses. *Breakfast is a simple but generous spread of cereals, breads, spreads, fruit, yoghurt, ham and cheese, with tea, coffee, water and freshly squeezed orange juice. You can also ask for eggs to be prepared for you. Everything is fresh and tasty. The dining room/lounge also has tea/coffee, cake and biscuits available for free 24/7. *There is lift access up to the 2nd floor, but note that you still have to lug your bags up a short see of stairs to get to the lift. *The rooms come with a bar fridge (not a minibar, just a fridge to store your own dunks etc. in), a fan and mechanical exterior window blinds for privacy and a good night's sleep. The bathroom is also stocked with very nice toiletries - shampoo/conditioner, body wash and hand lotion. *On arrival and every day after that when returning to our room we found a little surprise waiting for us, from fruit and sweets to local wine. This was an unexpected touch and very much appreciated. A fresh carafe of water is provided every day as well. Downsides: *There were a few issues in our room (Duque d'Ávila). Generally, there were quite a few signs of wear and tear - a broken cupboard door handle, the water-damaged base on the inside of the bathroom door et al. Cleanliness was also a bit patchy, including again in the bathroom, where clearly the cleaner never fully closes the door to check whether it needs cleaning behind it. The cupboard was also quite small and awkwardly placed, and the room could have done with some hooks or similar on the walls for coats. The bathroom could do with a hook or two more for towels as well. And on both sides of the bed, only one of the two power points worked, so you had to choose between having the lamp switched on (quite a wobbly lamp on quite a wobbly table, incidentally) or charging devices. *The hotel is in a residential building and had been cobbled together from what I presume was originally a number of apartments. This means that everything opens up from one long corridor and the walls are quite thin. Since our room was almost directly opposite Reception and not far from the front door, we heard every conversation and every opening and (especially) closing of the front door, starting from about 7.00 am.
