Lisboa 85 by RIDAN Hotels

I recently stayed at Lisboa 85 Suites and Apartments by Ridan Hotels, and my experience was quite positive. The hotel staff demonstrated excellent communication skills prior to my arrival, guiding me through the check-in process at a different location on the same street. Their politeness, friendliness, and attention to detail stood out. Upon arrival, a thoughtful welcome gift awaited me, and the receptionist took the time to familiarize me with the hotel. The card key system for both entering the premises and accessing the room added an extra layer of security. The well-decorated and clean hall, accompanied by ambient music, created a pleasant atmosphere. My room was spacious, featuring a comfortable bed, a private bathroom, and efficient air conditioning that operated quietly. Conveniently placed electrical plugs on each side of the bed, and a TV with a variety of national and international channels enhanced the overall comfort. The daily room cleaning service was a nice touch, providing a welcoming environment after a busy day. However, there was an occasional odd smell from the bathroom in the evening, despite its apparent cleanliness. The hotel's location, right in front of the "Anjos" metro stop, offered excellent transportation convenience. However, being on the ground floor meant I could hear the arrivals and departures of trains. On the positive side, the surrounding area had numerous affordable restaurants, coffee places, and shops, making it more accessible than the central downtown area. One aspect to note is the presence of homeless individuals in the hotel's vicinity. While I never felt threatened, it's worth mentioning for the awareness of fellow travellers. Despite this, I would consider returning to this hotel due to its reasonable pricing, convenient location, overall comfort, and the caring attitude of the staff.
