Páteo Saudade Lofts

Booked the hotel as it was advertised with a lift. The lift is at the top of 20 stairs, which was hard on our 90-year old travel mate. We did arrive early on check-in day to leave our luggage, which they gladly accepted. The young woman in the office also got us checked in early, so we could go out and enjoy the sites w/o having to get back to the hotel by a certain time. The 2 rooms have only enough dishes for 3 people for 1 meal, so you are constantly having to wash something. The bathroom was spacious and clean, but no washcloths were provided. The building is old and refurbished but the rooms are nice enough. The street is very quiet and there was never an issue of outside noise disturbing us. After 2 nights someone came in to empty the trash and put out fresh towels. The dirty dishes weren't touched and the beds weren't made, so you should understand this is basically a no-housekeeping type of accommodation. Very close to the metro station, and the Santa Justa lift and Rossia square are within walking distance. Streetcar 28 stops at the corner and runs up past the cathedral and near the Castelo de Sao Jorge. Not a bad option for the price in central Lisbon.

The place was clean enough, even though it could have been nicer for the price. However, there was construction that started at 7:30 AM which was very inconvenient. People are on vacation to relax and the management should have informed us of the work being done.

This is an old building divided into numerous apartments in an excellent location, close to the sea, subway, and old town restaurants but on a quiet side street. The building is secure and well-kept, and the host was very helpful. Our apartment was only fair. It's an open plan, with one bedroom area and one combined kitchen/dining/living area with a sofabed. With three adults, we used the sofabed for sleeping, leaving no place to sit except the cheap dining table. A couple things were broken and the kitchen area was cramped and not very well-equipped, so it seemed a little over-priced.

Location is the major selling point! The ladies are friendly and speak English, the bed is comfortable and loved having a balcony with a trendy feel throughout. Struggling to pull together a negative for this place, every aspect is ideal/ exceeds expectation - would highly recommend to anyone!

The apartments at Páteo Saudade Lofts are very nice, spacious and centrally located in the Baixa-Chiado section of Lisbon, a 5-minute walk to Praca do Comercio. Lots of restaurants and cafes in the neighborhood. I was very happy staying there. The only thing missing in the apartment is a chest of drawers in which to put clothing for the stay. So I lived out of my suitcase. Maybe because they are apartments rather than hotel rooms there wasn't daily housekeeping although it appeared that someone came in to empty the waste baskets. Also, because there is no front desk you have to make an appointment for your arrival time. After that you're given a code to enter the building and your apartment. During my three-day stay someone was in the office each morning and on one of the evenings. But there are no hotel services e.g. a wake-up call in the morning. Overall I was happy with my stay and would consider the property again the next time I'm in Lisbon.
