Residencial Lar do Areeiro

Rooms were kept very clean and over all, for an old building, the electricity and air conditioning functioned in all areas except for the breakfast area. The location next to the Areeiro metro stop was super convenient and there were several restaurants nearby within walking distance. I felt that the area and our rooms were very safe and secure - in this part of Lisbon and in the hotel itself.

The rooms were way too small...there was barely any room to walk between the end of the beds and the wall. No place to put luggage besides on the floor which cramped the room even more. When we asked to be moved to another room, with more space, we were given a nasty look by the lady behind the desk. All of the hotel staff were nice with the exception of the one woman - who also put up a nasty fuss when I asked to be moved to a single room. She gave me some strange explanation about how changes had to be made with Bookings while Bookings told me other wise. When I asked the same question to the man who worked at night, he fixed the situation immediately. So, overall, my experience was great but the woman was so odd and nasty about helping us, with responses like "its not that simple", I just avoided asking for anything when she was working. The breakfast selection was good but repetitive and the milk always tasted burned. The breakfast room was way too hot.
