No sleep in gritty neighborhood
This is a partially remodeled room with no normal hotel services, looking over a graffiti-ridden alleyway with a bar next door, in a neighborhood KNOWN FOR ITS NIGHTLIFE. It's a bad sign when ear plugs are provided in the room, but they are necessary if you want to sleep before 3am. The alleyway smells bad, and you have a view of a graffiti-covered wall and a nosy neighbor constantly peering in. I found a moldy lemon in the fridge when I got in. The bathroom was tiny, had not been remodeled, and looked dirty. They don't provide normal hotel services: no concierge/front desk, no cleaning during your stay, and no fresh towels or sheets. Getting there is a hassle because cars aren't allowed in the alleyway, so you have to drag your luggage down a block, then up the narrow flight of unlit stairs to get to the room. Would not pay more than $40 for this place, tops. Stay at a hostel instead, or at a hotel in Chiado.
