repetitive selectionthin walls
The breakfast was underwhelming, especially for a multi-day stay. the selection felt limited and repetitive. I missed having some variety. also, the walls seemed thin. i often heard noises from adjacent rooms, which disrupted my sleep a few times. it wasn't a constant issue, but noticeable enough to be a bit annoying.

enchanting alfama stay..
quiet streetriver viewgreat selectionnice selection
the location was divine, nestled on a quiet pedestrian street so near the center, a romantic's dream! our river view room felt large and spacious, a perfect sanctuary. a great selection of restaurants nearby allowed many intimate dinners. the breakfast offered a really nice selection, filling me with warmth.
the room was not quite soundproof, and i could sometimes hear noises from adjacent rooms, a tiny disturbance.

The breakfast included a lot of fresh fruit and pastries, a sweet start to each day! i saw croissants and traditional portuguese custard tarts. the breakfast area was kept very clean. I was impressed, !!!

perfect locationpleasant viewcomplimentary coffeethoughtful touch
I found the hotel's location convenient. Everything i wanted to see was within walking distance. the room i had included a pleasant river view (it was very picturesque). the complimentary coffee in the lobby was a thoughtful touch, much appreciated as i headed out each morning.
the bathroom occasionally had a slight odor that i noticed upon arrival, though opening the balcony doors quickly resolved it.

The bathroom smelled like sewage. I aired out the room using the balcony doors but the smell persisted. The shower lacked a proper shelf. An flimsy soap holder did not work. Fresh towels and linens were only provided upon request. Otherwise they were not changed. Breakfast was simple. I wanted hot eggs. but there was only fruit cereal and cold cuts
