o This property doesn’t have luggage lockers. We went to the Cais do Sodre location to leave our bags, but the big lockers were all full. So we carted our bags to Cascais to the beach and spent the day there, with our bags, waiting to check-in. o The front door code worked this time, unlike at their Bairro Alto property. o At their new check-in video kiosk, payment worked easier than Bairro Alto as it didn’t ask me for a PIN. Scanning your passport was as difficult as Bairro Alto. o The code given to me by the machine for the apartment didn’t work, however. I had to call them on the phone in the hallway, sweating to death because there is no air-conditioning in the stairwell (“lobby”). o There was no soap, shampoo, conditioner or bodywash provided. Like Bairro Alto, there were leftover strips in the shower of what used to hold the dispenser for those items. o There were no instructions for how to use the combination washer/dryer.

Read moreHow can you charge for an apartment when you know about there is construction work starting every day at 8am??!! When I go on holiday I don't expect hammer drills and banging to wake me up every morning of my holiday and continue until lunchtime!! No respect for their customers. No information in the room if anything goes wrong. The satellite TV didn't work and it doesn't help when they send staff who don't speak English. This studio apartment has an awkward layout with poor light. Wanted to relax and instead it increased my stress levels. There is no excuse for construction work during holiday season and if there is, you have a right to be told about it. Dishonest and greedy. ...
