"The room was facing the 7 Pillar Bridge , and one does hear some noise, but this is more than compensated for by the stunning view of the Bridge ( during the day & lit at Night) and of the Statue of Christ the King, across the river Tagus. Truly beautiful."

“I see a focus here on business and solo travelers, especially given the proximity to the Lisbon Congress Center; still, the live opera performances inject a dash of culture into any stay, alongside those indoor pools and health club facilities to unwind. For a conference or a personal city break, this seems a practical choice, though some may find the rooms needing an upgrade.”

basic things window noise
the breakfast was acceptable with a decent choice of items.
The room lacked basic things. There was no soap provided for hand washing! i also needed to request a kettle, and there wasn't a convenient outlet to plug it into. the noise from outside was awful. The windows did not block out noise from the bridge and planes.
