Flôr Da Baixa Alojamento — Hotel in Lisbon

What can I say. I never usually review places I prefer to keep my opinions to myself as I don't believe anywhere is perfect. But I have to review this place In the hope that some of you don't make the same mistake. When I booked this "hotel" the pictures I saw made it look lovely. I will say those pictures are a complete lie. Because we arrived late at night we had to go to a hotel further up the road to collect our keys. The lady there was lovely. She showd us to the door of our hovel,sorry hotel and it was a solid metal door!! No signage it was grim and at 2am in the morning very scarey. The pictures included show the stairwell we had to clime to reach our room.||The room was tiny, it literally only had 6 or 7 inches of room either side of the bed the toilet was just big enough to stand in but you could not turn round if the door was shut. The door was glass!! And made the most horrendous grinding noise when you opened and closed it. Virtually no facilities in the room. The corridor to the exit had a coffee machine but no one ever provided milk and the cups were ridiculously small.||We never at any point met the supposed owner of the hovel, sorry hotel. When we left we had to go back up the road to leave our key. ||All in all it is a horrid place with no personality and I would never recommend it to anyone. Trust me you can...

We stayed for 1 night in April and that was plenty.||The entrance of the hotel is difficult to find, being a small dark doorway on a busy street. This doorway leads to 2 flights of stairs.||On arrival (9pm), after climbing the stairs with our luggage (no elevator but that was expected) there was no one at reception. Thankfully, another guest was also waiting who spoke Portuguese and was able to contact the management. We were told to go back downstairs and visit another hotel a few doors down to check in.||The room itself was clean, had a large private bathroom, WiFi access and air conditioning. ||We went to dinner and on our return found a homeless person making their bed for the night in the stairwell, making it hard to pass (he was still there at 11:30am the next morning when we left with our luggage).||We expected some noise as we knew his was a bustling part of the city, but found it difficult to sleep due to the moving of hairs and tables in the early hours. ||The door did not seem to lock securely, although there was a sliding chain lock on the inside of the door. Light was coming in through the door frame. ||There was free coffee and cake available, which was a nice touch.||I usually travel alone, but I don’t think I would have felt...

Not a lot to say that is positive about this place besides the above. ||As others have noted, the entrance is up two flights of stairs. Fine - this happens in Europe. Unfortunately, the stairwell is in disrepair - dirty, cracked plaster, dingy. We got an email from the hotel the day before to check in at this location if we were arriving between 2 and 6 pm, otherwise to check in down the street at a second location. We arrived at 2:35 and there was no one there. So we called (there was a sign at the door), and they told us someone would arrive in 5 - 10 minutes. Some time later, one of the cleaners arrived. Nice woman, checked us in with her minimal English in a pretty efficient manner.||Room itself was very clean. I’ll give it that. Our bathroom was split in two - a toilet on one side of the room in a closet so small you could hardly sit, and the sink and shower on the other side with no door, only a curtain.||Walls and doors seemed very thin. We could hear noise throughout the building from our room.||If you are here for a night and get a deal, I guess it could be OK. We paid the normal rate, and it felt really overpriced, even given the...
