Solo female traveler perspective: This is located in a predominantly Muslim area, mostly men around; nobody said or did anything inappropriate but it literally was swarming with only men at all hours and I did feel a little weird walking around at night. The food within approx a 1-2 block radius is mostly middle eastern, Indian, or pizza, and again ONLY LOCAL MEN inside the small restaurants - I avoided because it definitely would have been weird. If you're looking for Portuguese food, you'll have to venture out a bit. The room is reasonably clean, the bed is comfortable, and while there is a large window, it overlooks a dumpy unslightly and slightly smelly vacant lot. Keeping the window open results in some tiny gnats flying around the room, which I did not like. There's a coffee pod machine but no pods - oddly, only instant coffee was provided which I also did not like. If you need coffee in the morning like I do, there's none in the area. The metro is very close by so that is a positive. But if you're looking to stay closer to the chic Chiado area, this is not it. Price is ok but there's probably better options within the price range.
