Fun serviced apartments in the Alfama, Lisbon's ancient old city. Fully functioning with modern kitchenette that included dishwasher, two-range porcelain stove-top, and half-refrigerator that has an ice-box compartment. Free fast wifi in each room. Modern and comfortable bathrooms. Powerful and efficient air-conditioning/heating unit. Important to note that the staff will knock every morning to service your apartment without fail, sometimes entering without warning. There is no obvious way to indicate "do not disturb," so self-sufficient guests who do not require the services of the cleaning staff should submit a request to Hello Lisbon apartments to forgo. Lovely rooftop communal area with Riad-style fruit trees in the center and herbs such as basil, rosemary, and tarragon growing in abundance. The hotel is only a short-walking distance from plenty of exciting and beautiful cultural attractions such as the Castle Sao Jorge and the Portas do Sol as well as amenities such as the Pingo Doce grocery store. Plenty, and I do mean plenty, of traditional Portugese cuisine and Fado music everywhere in this location. Try The Pit Cafe near the Roman Theater Museum for wonderful hospitality, delicious vegetable soup and a lovely mixed tapas platter for two served by the owner...

Other than that, the place is well quipped and it also has a self serve washer and dryer. Eateries nearby and...

We checked in at 830am and went on our way to explore Lisbon. Be careful with the luggage storage it isn't secure and will not take larger suitcases. We returned to our room a full hour after check in was allowed to find our room still not complete. Definitely an IKEA vibe to the rooms, but they...
