The location of this hotel is far from historic center but 10 minutes walking to the nearest Alameda metro, but first the walking distance to the Alameda metro station is not to closed. Then get off in Rossio metro station and walk in historic center. Then going back the same and going up the hill is not easy as they say. The hotel cleaning was fine. The staff too. Breakfast so so, not for the price of 9 euros p/p. Now the noise from next door rooms was horrible, no respect to anyone and beds not as comfortable. The are does not look to safe, but is ok. Just be early at the hotel.
The rooms are small, the staff is good, the location is off the hustle and bustle of the city but with 15 minutes walk of the train station and hop on hop off buses. Beds are large and the shower is good and so is the breakfast. there is little room for anything else so if you are looking to spend a few days in Lisbon it is a good place to park yourself. On the other hand, if you want more room and be in the heart of the Fado places etc..you have a 20-25 minute walk.
I am deeply dissatisfied with the online booking service offered by Zenhotels. I made a reservation for what I thought would be a private room with 2 pets allowed and made a payment of 97 euros, which according to the booking confirmation received, was the total amount for the reservation. I was supposed to only pay 6 euros for the tourist tax and 10 euros per pet for the entire stay. Upon arrival at the hotel (WOT Lisbon Nomad), I was informed that the reservation I had made did not correspond to a private room and that in order to get one, I would have to pay an additional 234.51 euros on top of the already paid 97 euros (this would be for the upgrade to a private room + 10 euros per day per pet). Obviously, this news at the time of check-in and with such a price difference (more than three times the original value) makes it almost impossible for the customer to seek an alternative. Furthermore, I tried to explain to the hotel that the website was not very clear about private or shared rooms, as the room description did not indicate that it was shared. Additionally, it did not mention that the payment for the pets was per day rather than for the entire stay. The person responded that if the website did not have complete information, it was not the hotel's problem. I countered that if they were selling their services through third parties, they are just as responsible as the website promoting them to ensure that the information is accurate; otherwise, they are complicit in a scheme to deceive customers. Finally, I decided not to proceed with the proposal because I found it disrespectful, an excessive charge compared to the original offer, and unprofessional. Therefore, I feel that I was cheated out of the 97 euros that I paid and that I could not use the offered service.
This hotel gave the impression of being basic but nevertheless clean and tidy. The room was small but adequate and, again clean and tidy. It’s reasonably well situated with the nearest metro stop being Saldaha (two stops from Entre Campos and four stops from Restauradores (Rossio Square)). Breakfast was generally good with a good choice of continental style breakfast options as well as scrambled eggs, bacon, mushrooms etc. We did think the eggs could have been a bit warmer (but that’s mass catering for you) and it would have been useful to have had a dispenser to place used tea bags in the tea/coffee area. Pleasant if small rooftop bar area. It was a very welcome and pleasant surprise to be served a complimentary welcome drink there. However, it would have been better to have made it clear (perhaps on the back of the voucher) that the welcome drinks were limited to beer, wine, port and water. Finally, I should mention the excellent reception staff. All very pleasant but in particular Jessica was very helpful in providing local knowledge
