Hello Lisbon Santa Apolonia Apartments

Excellent base to spend a few days in Lisbon & good travel links,

Good for staying a few days

Nice hotel for the price. Clean. Updated. The location is tricky. Everything important is within a 30 minute walk (usually within a 15 minute walk). Plenty of restaurants and shops. The subway ("metro") / train station is less than a 5 minute walk. However, at first impression, the immediate neighborhood seems horrible. My wife was so freaked out that I even proposed to forfeit our non-refundable hotel payment and go to another hotel. Then we realized that most of Lisbon looks like this place and we stayed at this hotel. This is a low service hotel. NO front desk. Most communication is by email.

I would recommend the brand of Hello Lisboa but not this particular set of apartments. It was comfortable, stylish and convenient to check in etc but the location wasn't ideal. There were no obvious shops to stock up the apartment and no nice bars easily visible nearby. To get into the centre you would have to get the bus or uber. The only thing it's really near was the thieve's market (tue and sat).

Beautiful, spacious rooms with everything you might need. The decor is little minimalistic, but the room is comfortable and peaceful, and the bed is extremely comfortable! In the neighbourhood, there are many restaurants and cafes, and the train station and metro are right around the corner. We enjoyed ourselves a lot here!
