Myself and a friend visited Lisbon for the week to explore, and would highly recommend this accommodation. As students this accommodation catered for us perfectly. We had a very spacious room, there are two kitchens with separate space in the fridges and shelves for food and there are two female toilets and three shower cubicles, with the same for males. I worried about not having a bathroom in our own room, however there was always a bathroom available, and both the bathrooms and shower block were of a high standard and very clean. There is a washing machine available to use for free if you supply the powder, and there is also office space and an airy main room with tables to eat meals. The staff were incredibly lovely and helpful, you couldn’t ask for more from the reception- if you have any questions, the receptionist is absolutely lovely. We would highly recommend a quick tour around the upstairs of the palace as it is absolutely beautiful and the terrace has a stunning view of the city. Location wise, the palace is at the top of quite a steep hill. When first coming from the airport, we both got the metro to alameda, and changed to then arrive close by to the accommodation at Martim Moniz. The only thing we would notify is that although this is a very cheap way of travelling at only €2.70 per person, and then you have the 50c reusable cards to use on the trains in future, the journey from the station to the palace is all up a steep hill and involves lifting your suitcases up a lot of steps and cobbled streets. We coped fine, but you do arrive a little tired! On the way home, we decided to get a taxi to avoided trying to get our cases down the stairs, and we were pleasantly surprised that the entire journey only cost €10 in total. Definitely worth while if you have kids, or difficult bags! The receptionist gave us the number and the taxi company spoke brilliant english and our driver was lovely, so two options depending on your affordability. There is a second hill with a tram that can take you up the hill, however we noticed the price was around €3.70 and so we braved the walk up and down, it definitely improves your fitness by the end! Wear comfortable pairs of shoes! There are lots of small shops opposite the accommodation and all the way down the hill, so combined you can get everything you need. We met some lovely people who owned these small shops, and if you can afford a little extra on food and drink we’d definitely recommend using these shops to support the local businesses. Other than that, there are supermarkets dotted around, but be prepared to walk about half and hour or so to find them, and then you may have to carry some heavy things up some big hills! So would recommend...
