This hotel is very central in its location. It is a short walk from Cais Do Sodre station, which gives us easy access to the beaches and the airport by public transit. Many of the main tourist attractions and great restaurant options were walkable. There are grocery stores nearby that allow us to grab snacks and drinks. We appreciated the kitchenette for our family needs. The staff was great, they checked in with us regularly & were always prompt to respond to our needs. The double-panel glass did a great job of minimizing noise from Pink Street. However, the loud thumping sounds from the bar below were hard to ignore on some nights. The lodge does provide earplugs which were much appreciated. Most nights, we were so exhausted from exploring during the day that falling asleep was a non-issue for us.
