I am baffled by the great reviews of this place - it was the worst 2 nights of sleep I have ever had. Do not stay here until the owner buys a new mattress because you can feel every old wire spring in this one, so you cant sleep in an sort of comfort. This would be such an easy fix for them as well! An obvious investment but it makes me think the owner or hosts have never stayed here.
It's also dark and the area is noisy, but the hosts cant do too much about that.
Hosts were pleasant and check in process easy, but if you cant have a good nights rest it doesnt matter.
Stay in Alfama... just not here.
