The room itself was clean and well maintained. Bathroom can only be as clean as a shared bathroom can be depending on others using it. The main areas outside of the room were rundown and not clean. The biggest issue though is the area. I am a solo female traveller and when I arrived around midnight, and I did not feel like it was a safe part of the city. Even the following morning when I left around 8 am, it was still not an area I felt too comfortable in compared to other areas in Lisbon I’ve stayed in (Barrio Alto felt much safer). So if you’re travelling with a group or as a couple or not too concerned about somewhat shady neighbourhoods, the room was clean and comfortable but I would not recommend this area of the city.

The pictures shown on the listing were falsely advertising the hotel. The street outside the building was not clean and the inside of the building was not maintained or in good condition, and often carried a strange smell. The walls were also very thin and every noise from another apartment or room was heard and it often kept us up at night.

Room, toilets and communal areas were pretty clean, room was big enough, bed was comfortable, sheets were clean.

Staff was so friendly and helpful.

Air conditioning was working, but it wasn't hot so I didn't use it that much.

Location really convenient, close the bus and metro stations.

Since I stayed there when the general strike was taking place, you can be at Rossio in 20 mins walking, which is really good.

There was also many restaurants, convenient shops and a Lidl really close.

Overall, very pleasant stay, if I go again I'd probably stay there again!

The guesthouse is a group of rooms in an older apartment building located in slightly rough neighborhood. The entrance requires a key code of which I was not advised. The reception area is on the second (first in Europe) floor again behind a locked door. You must ring a doorbell to be let in. Access TV the guest rooms themselves again requires a keycode that you're given at check in.

The building is not accessible, there is no elevator, and the stairs are narrow and steep.

I booked a small room with twin bed, with access to a shared bathroom. The room was clean but cheaply furnished. The mattress was very hard. Air conditioning was good.

The shared bathroom is large and has toilet, lavatory, and shower. The shower is small. Hot water is VERY slow to arrive. There are no shelves, benches, or tables on which to place toiletries or linens.

At the price, it was acceptable, but barely. I can't recommend this for anyone but fit, adventurous travelers.

The location is more for the traveler than the tourist. I love the location. It is central and historic. The majority of the population is Bangladesh. The variety of food and vicinity to subway is all very good.
If a few street people bother you you might want to pay more and get an upper middle to high end travel experience.

Our stay in Lisbon was very enjoyable. Lisbon is a very walkable city if you don’t mind hills. The guesthouse was exceptionally clean. I liked having a full opening window/balcony to look down on the street. The front-desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The guesthouse was located very close to everything a tourist would need (metro, food, laundry, attractions). The street is a bit noisy at night but bearable. Just close your window and shutters. Please don’t let the street dissuade you from staying here. We felt very safe. I would highly recommend this guesthouse if staying on a budget.

This hotel has changed dramatically since the pictures were taken, as advertised by Hotel.com. I would never have booked this ‘hotel’ had they shown current pictures. We arrived at 9pm the first night, but we left the following day. The hotel was in a lower socio-economic area which doesn’t scare or bother me, but the fact that we saw only men at night and people openly using hard drugs. I think Hotels.com needs to do a better job of vetting their hotels. The difference between the advertised pictures and the actual reality was startling and completely unacceptable. It is maddening to me that I was dupped by this hotel. Much of what they offer and the pictures are completely FALSE!!! I lost something around $150.

We took room with private bathroom, which was very useful, though it costs more.
Hotel is conveniently located near Green Metro line as well as to Tram 28. ALFAMA district is at walkable distance of 20-25 mins
The street and area in general has many Bangladesi and other immigrants owned restaurants and gricery stores. Street stays busy at least till 11pm and sometimes may have bit shady and homeless people on it, but we didn't feel unsafe walking late to our hotel. Overall hotel is decent.

Ok for somewhere to lay your head for the price.

Reception was very friendly. It was a challenge navigating stairs with a big case (no lift), so be prepared! Very noisy at night/morning with people slamming the main door. Room was tiny but had everything for a very basic stay. Bed was quite hard though. Didn’t feel like an overly safe area with people sitting out on the street.

Good experience on eletrico guesthouse

The stay was good in general terms. The room was clean and spacious, the bathroom was clean and in good conditions.
The only point I think needs improvement is the entrance to the building. I think may be is shared with other hotels or apartment owners. Sometimes the entrance has an unpleasant odor.

-Don't base your selection on the Expedia pictures.
-Your first impression may be disappointing.
-The building exterior and the neighborhood are neglected, full of graffiti and trash in the corners.
-Inside the premises the staff is friendly and helpful

The property is overall a good deal for the price. The only issue is a lack of sound isolation. The room door has no isolation, meaning that every voice or step from the corridors can be heard. Moreover, in the room above mine, the guest's bed would make very loud noise which could be heart in my room.

A decent guesthouse close to the centre

Our room was large enough to fit our bags and storage space for our clothes. Air conditioning in the room was well received. The bed was comfortable and the TV had a surprising number of English language channels.

The shared bathroom was large and clean.

The building was a little difficult to find initially as there's no large sign outside, but with the aid of Google Maps, we found it in a few minutes.

The location is a 10-min (uphill) walk to the best miradour in the city and walking distance to the Alfama district. It's also a five-min walk to one of the start points for the 28E tram and the centre of Lisbon is a short walk futher.

You can order a breakfast box to your room, but there's also a nice cafe for breakfast just down the street. Further down the road is the Moorish quarter, which may be intimidating for some, but it's not unsafe.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. You can store bags in a secure room and there's easy access to the airport by the Metro.

Satisfait. J'y retournerais sans hésiter.

Nous avons apprécié notre séjour. Bien situé pour visiter Lisbonne. Notre chambre avec lit double très bien.Les toilettes et douches communes très propres également. Aussi très bon service à la réception. Le bruit de la ville ne nous a pas dérangés. Nous nous attendions A cela.

Overall it was good. Just noisy and felt a bit unsafe. The building front door though should’ve been closed was propped open at night. We could hear people outside of the building at 3am.

The staff was friendly, the room was clean and the washroom facilities were kept incredibly clean. However, the balcony doors do not close properly/fully and the noise from outside is hard to deal with (bring ear plugs). The noise from outside generally goes on until 2 AM so we found it hard to get a good nights sleep. The area around the place is pretty sketchy but can't really fault the place for it, it is within 100m walk to the Metro station as well.

It’s budget-friendly and close to the subway. Located in downtown Lisbon, near Alfama and other popular tourist areas, the hostel had all the necessary amenities. The room I stayed in was clean and had a private bathroom, which is quite rare for budget accommodations in downtown Lisbon. Overall, I was very happy with my booking.

I recently stayed in the deluxe double room. Considering I did not plan the spend much time at the hotel I thought this room was perfect and had all the necessities. The room was very clean and comfortable. As mentioned in the description not all the rooms have in unit bathrooms so we paid a bit extra for the deluxe. The property is a bit further from the more touristy areas but I found the area to be nice, quiet and completely walkable. Would definitely stay again.

My first time in a hostel and i was very impressed. The staff was friendly and the place was so clean. There was a hairdryer in the bathroom and also a microwave and disposable plates and cutlery so i could heat up my leftovers .
The location was very convenient as it was 1 street over from tram 28 stop and it was in walking distance of the train station and alot of the tourist sites . When i come back to Lisbon i will definitely stay there agaian .

Good for price

The staff are friendly and attentive. The rooms were kept tidy and in good condition. The balcony doors open which are needed to cool the room down.

The location is near the city center however the local area is very noisy and quite dirty compared with other areas my friends were staying in.

This property was marked by a piece of paper above the doors. The doors were heavy metal. Inside was terrifying. I left immediately and waited outside and had my husband bring my luggage out. We ended up paying twice the amount to stay at a safe hotel near the airport. It was worth it because this place seemed sketchy and not legitimate. I'm not sure if the reviews of this place are fake but it was not accurate at all. There is a reason there is no picture of the front of the building online. It was also located in a very unsafe area of town. DO NOT stay here!

Great place to stay in a semi busy area full of different cultures. Bed was comfortable, the bathroom was always clean. It does get a little loud in the area, would recommend wearing ear plugs if noise bothers you. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location if you don't mind walking, takes about 15-20 minutes to reach centre. Staff very helpful and pleasant. We stayed in room 101 which was just a small room without bathroom and had a double bed which was smaller than we are used to and wirh a hard mattress but it was a bit cheaper than the others. Only three rooms on our level but there were 2 spotlessly clean bathrooms to use even though the other 2 rooms had their own bathrooms. Loads of supermarkets, restaurants, street food near by. It is a guest house and not a hotel so is basic which was fine for us for 5 nigts. Downside is the noise from the street below and constant sirens at all hours so if this would bother you, take some earplugs! Quite a few homeless people who didn't bother anyone - usual city situation. We are in our early 60s and never felt worried or threatened by anyone and the presence of the police makes you feel safe. We would return again as it is cheap, clean and cheerful being the start of our 3 centre holiday over Xmas.

Location is just about 3 minutes walk to Metro Station. Staff offered to help us take the luggage from G/F to our 2/F room. We're allowed to check in early to our room when it's ready. Our room is facing the street, underneath is a bar. On Friday nite, we're quite bothered by people's talking noises outside the bar until passed midnite. It was quiet on Saturday nite as the bar was not opened.

Stay Away

Booked a reservation and emailed that I’d arrive after reception closes at 10pm. I was assured TWICE that someone would be at reception (for an extra fee). I arrived at midnight and guess what? Nobody is there and nobody answers the phone. I had to walk around the sketchy area in the middle of the night looking for another hotel

It's convenient to public transportation. Right outside is a bar so can be noisy. This part of town seems to have gone touristy so old apartments are converted to hostels.

Check-in was difficult since there is no indication that the reception office is on the second floor.

Disappointing

I don't mind that they didn't have breakfast but if you promise breakfast you should serve it. It says on the website they have breakfast it said in my confirmation they serve breakfast it said on the placard in the room that they serve breakfast. It's been over two and a half years since covid began, if that's their excuse it doesn't take long to change the website. The room was so tiny it was hard to find a place to put things. Since the hostel was pretty much empty it's odd that they wouldn't put people into the slightly larger rooms that were vacant. The TV did not work even though I asked the staff about it each day I was there. The hostel seemed fairly vacant but a lot of noise came at night from the air shaft of the apartment building where the hostel is located. It was so noisy it was difficult to sleep. The maid kept the bathroom clean and not many people used it. She seemed quite friendly. The staff seemed friendly enough but I don't really recommend the hostel - in fact I was supposed to return to it when I came back to Lisbon but canceled my reservation.
