Residencia White Love

Great location, but old building in need of renovation with security deficiencies. Very convenient location on a nice square with a fountain. There are many cafes, restaurants and shops all around. This part of Lisbon is not yet too touristy but still very lively. The room was spacious, the bed very comfortable. I really liked the high stucco ceilings of this old building. Unfortunately, there were cobwebs hanging from the high stucco ceilings. There was an old T-shirt hanging on the back of the bathroom door, probably from one of the previous guests! The staff was not overly friendly. I had the impression that I had disturbed something important despite the arrival time communicated in advance. Unfortunately, the historic room doors were very warped and the lock was not in the right place. So there was always a certain air gap. This can be done better in an old building if one wants to. The hallway lighting to the corridor in front of the room did not work. Only in the next right-angled corridor was there motion-controlled light. Especially bad: The winding corridors on the second floor led to a locked door. This was the demarcation of the pension which is partly on the 2nd floor and includes the entire 3rd floor of the house. This door had to be locked at all times. Otherwise burglars would have had an easy time with the inadequate locking of the room doors. What happens in case of fire ? If you make it from the partly unlit corridor to the final door of the boarding house in the staircase, it is very likely that it is locked and whether you can still open it!

Fatima was very helpful and super friendly in greeting us. Although the room isn’t much, it offer a comfortable bed, and a private bathroom. It’s well located close to a gym, bakery, and restaurants. Showers are a little small, and the drain wasn’t fully efficient. Common area was kept clean. Good value for the price!
